Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place. If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself. If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

• Leonid Slutsky (football coach) (currently a redirect to Leonid Slutsky (football manager)) → Leonid Slutsky (football manager) (move · discuss) – From a Wikipedia search, I've found that association football managers who need disambiguation after their name tend to be disambiguated with (football manager) (my search}, while American football managers are more commonly disambiguated by (football coach) (my search). Slutsky is an association football manager. (Although I do feel there might be ambiguity between "football manager" and "football coach" as they're basically interchangeable especially in association football, but I'm just trying to follow what seems to be the tradition on English Wikipedia) IDontHaveSkype (talk) 04:17, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Farhang Khosro Panah (currently a redirect to Farhang Khosropanah) → Farhang Khosropanah (move · discuss) – The surname is just one word, shouldn't be space between them, source Sports2021 (talk) 00:17, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Sunwing Airlines (currently a redirect to Sunwing) → Sunwing (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Fololyner (talk) 21:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Atakapa → Ishak (move · discuss) – The people refer to themselves as the "Ishak" not the Atakapa, per https://64parishes.org/entry/ishak-indigenous-people MiniYaChi (talk) 21:29, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Nippon TV (currently a redirect to Nippon Television) → Nippon Television (move · discuss) – Official full name, since the page for their NNS network uses their full name, not the short name. VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 01:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• France–Africa relations → Africa–France relations (currently a redirect back to France–Africa relations) (move · discuss) – Alphabetic order — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 05:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Hooley Hill railway station (currently a redirect to Audenshaw railway station) → Audenshaw railway station (move · discuss) – Audenshaw was the name of the station at Hooley Hill when it closed in 1950, there was an earlier station called Audenshaw that had closed in 1905. Both stations were in Tameside and belonged to the L&NWR but were in different locations.. The earlier station has been moved and taken the disambiguation, this later station should be the primary article Nempnet (talk) 09:05, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Justine (de Sade novel) → Justine (Sade novel) (currently a redirect back to Justine (de Sade novel)) (move · discuss) – In the French naming custom, the particle "de" is not part of the last name and shouldn't appear when the first name or a title doesn't appear, e.g. Guy de Maupassant's last name would be Maupassant, etc. P. T. Tabayi (talk) 09:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  That doesn't seem to match common English usage. For example Charles de Gaulle is always De Gaulle, not Gaulle. Britannica also uses De Sade.[1]  — Amakuru (talk) 15:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I think it is Gaulle that doesn't match common English usage. You will find that the vast majority of works about Sade refer to him as such in the context we are talking about, from famous books, to famous essays, to even the English Wikipedia page of the writer itself. Taking a quick look at that page and its references will show that "Sade" is, beyond the correct linguistic choice, the common usage in literature and academia as well. P. T.

• Spencer Dickinson (politician) → Spencer Dickinson (move · discuss) – Moved the page originally called "Spencer Dickinson" since it was just some random stub with 3x less pageviews per month, however the move left behind a redirect page so I cannot move this page. SusImposter49 (talk) 21:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if that's a strong enough argument to declare the politician to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the music project. That music article could be expanded, and the current name-only redirect could become a new disambig page, IMO. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 00:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I created a dab at the base page name purely as a procedural matter to avoid WP:MISPLACED while this technical move request is being discussed. I have no opinion on the primary topic. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SusImposter49: This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 06:39, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could the music project be expanded? I was looking into its background just out of curiosity, I'd say it barely even qualifies a page of its own. But the disambig page is a fine solution. SusImposter49 (talk) 12:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Orange station (California) (currently a redirect to Orange Transportation Center) → Orange Transportation Center (move · discuss) – This is the official name of the station, and other American train stations named "Transit Center" (such as Oceanside Transit Center) are named in this same manner on Wikipedia. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 01:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Contest this one, we don't particularly use the WP:OFFICIALNAME and need evidence that the present name isn't the common name.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Sadh Vaishnavism (currently a redirect to Sat Vaishnavism) → Sat Vaishnavism (move · discuss) – Spelling correction. The word "Sadh" has no meaning, it's "Sat" meaning "True" in Sanskrit. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 07:04, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I think at this point this needs a Wikipedia:Consensus, since the vice versa request Special:PermanentLink/1211121943#Requested move 7 October 2023 wasn't opposed. You have to click the discuss button for a proper community agreement. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Pomona–Downtown station → Pomona Transit Center (currently a redirect back to Pomona–Downtown station) (move · discuss) – This is the official name of the station, and other American train stations named "Transit Center" (such as Oceanside Transit Center) are named in this same manner on Wikipedia. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 01:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm not sure what the best thing is here... it seems like the common name for the Amtrak station is just "Pomona", while the MetroLink station is called "Pomona–Downtown". Not seeing that much coverage for "Pomona Transit Center", do you have sources confirming that? There are also Pomona stations elsewhere, so I wonder if the present name is just the best, as a sort of WP:NATURALDIS and it is the name of the MetroLink after all...  — Amakuru (talk) 11:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OrdinaryScarlett Sounds like this could use a little more discussion before being moved. To open a discussion, please click the "discuss" link in your request above. --Ahecht (TALK

• Liège (Chamber of Representatives constituency) → Liège (former Chamber of Representatives constituency) (move · discuss) – Split article into two - one that existed until 2003 and covered the Arrondissement of Liège and another that has existed since 2003 and covers Liège Province Obi2canibe (talk) 22:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Note that this is not the correct place to propose a split. See WP:PROSPLIT for the proper procedure. Also, I'm not sure why this requires a move? Can't you just move the historical content over to the "former" article, creating that article off of the redirect? Bensci54 (talk) 16:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The bulk of the content relates to the former constituency. I wanted to preserve the edit history rather than cut and paste as you've suggested.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do the two have significantly different borders? If not, I think it's standard practice to leave them as one page.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the two constituencies are significantly different. This map shows the arrondissement (old constituency) within the province (new constituency). The area of the constituency increased from 797 km² to 3,857 km². The electorate increased from 400,000 to 725,000.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
