  • (Discuss) – Assyrian flag → Flag of Assyria – I propose renaming Assyrian flag to Flag of Assyria. Per WP titles and COMMONNAME, Wikipedia generally titles flag articles using the “Flag of X” format. Examples include Flag of Kurdistan and Flag of the Romani people. The proposed title would align this article with common naming conventions used for ethnic or national flags. "Flag of Assyria" is also a natural formulation consistent with how flag articles are typically named.

  • (Discuss) – List of diving facilities → List of diving facilities with a 10-meter platform – The proposed title better matches the article's scope. The article focuses on facilities that include a 10 m platform, and the entries are facilities or venues rather than individually named platforms. The new title is also more precise because it gives the list a clearer and more natural boundary: facilities with a 10 m platform are a more defined set, whereas a title referring broadly to diving facilities could imply an effectively open-ended list of facilities with ordinary diving boards.

  • (Discuss) – Crab claw sail → Austronesian sail types – The current name is not used by the academics who study traditional Austronesian sailing rigs to cover all Austronesian sailing rigs, but that is the scope of the article as it stands. Among those academics, some do not use the term "Crab claw sail" at all. Those that do limit it to specific types of sail, all of which have a very deeply concave edge (usually a leech, sometimes the head). What is notable about these rarer (across the whole subject) usages is that the words "crab claw" can be applied to specific examples of Oceanic Spritsails or to specific examples of the Oceanic Lateen. This makes clear that the words are being used as a descriptive term of the shape under consideration. In no way could one conclude that these academics use "Crab claw sail", or anything similar, to refer to either all or to a broad category of Austronesian sail types. Generally, if any of them use it at all, it is rarely. The ethnographers of Indo-Pacific/Austronesian watercraft who have been checked for their usage include: *A. C. Haddon and James Hornell, particularly in their work Canoes of Oceania[1] *Edwin Doran[2][3] *Geoffrey Irwin, with a solitary usage in[4], but nothing that I can find in his book[5] *Atholl Anderson[6] *Adrian Horridge (his Wikipedia article gives limited emphasis to his significant number of publications on Austronesian sailing rigs)[7] *Anne Di Piazza[2], particularly Words for Canoes[8] and also[9] It is possible to find non-academic material that uses the term "Crab claw sail" to refer to traditional Austronesian rigs. These have nothing to suggest that they could be considered an RS. I have a suspicion, but cannot prove, that some of them have adopted the terminology because of what they have read on Wikipedia. For the ethnography of traditional sail types, some of which are disappearing, I think we have to be guided by the academics working in the field. This move proposal arises from the investigations seen above in the section Disputed. Some extra detail is available in that section, though it may be less easy to read as it shows the developing thinking. If the diagram of rigs that is currently in the article is deleted by Commons (it is a copyright infringement, though the publisher has given informal permission to be used – it may take time to get this done to match Commons requirements) the same diagram can be found at [3]. It may be useful for a detailed study of this request.

  • (Discuss) – January 23, 2026 Minnesota protests against ICE → 2026 Minnesota ICE protests – The person who closed the previous RM initially moved the article to a different title than what the nominator had proposed, which no one had suggested in the discussion, and then reconsidered it after a User talk page query and used the name that had been proposed, and provided an explanation on the article talk page. Then someone else disagreed and moved it again. The result limits the scope of the article to the events of one specific day, which I don't think was agreed or even discussed. I'm not submitting this as a Move Review, because the person who closed the move moved it to the title I am suggesting, so I have no complaint about what the closer did. The problem I perceive is what happened next, which was done by someone else. I could perhaps have simply reverted the most recent move, but I don't want to get into edit warring, and the way the previous RM was closed could be a bit confusing. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:00, 11 March 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:51, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Motonormativity → ? – I don't believe that Motonormativity is the WP:COMMONNAME for this phenomenon. I saw comments at AFD suggesting these other primary names for this topic. :A.

  • (Discuss) – George (archbishop of Cyprus) → George of Cyprus (archbishop) – The name of the article is still poorly structured. “George of Cyprus” is more specific than “George” and would match other articles about Cypriot archbishops. The “(archbishop)” should only be needed to distinguish this George of Cyprus from others, including the geographer.
    Adding direct policies supporting move:
    WP:NCCL#Eastern Orthodox bishops: Instructs article titles for Eastern Orthodox bishops to be written in the form {name} of {place}, which makes “George of Cyprus” the appropriate name;
    WP:CONSISTENT: The article titles of George’s predecessors follow the same structure;
    WP:NC(): Parentheses are only supposed to be used to disambiguate from other articles, and should not contain excessive information. The only point of the added “(archbishop)” should be to disambiguate from other individuals named “George of Cyprus” — which is much easier to disambiguate from than just “George”.

  • (Discuss) – Dutch Top 40 → Top 40 (Netherlands) – Nowhere on the website or in its history does the title appear in its current form. The organization is called "Stichting Nederlandse Top 40" (translated as "Dutch Top 40 Foundation"), while the chart itself is simply called "Top 40". I'm not sure it's appropriate to derive the name from part of the organization's name. Another option is "Top 40 (Dutch record chart)". Solidest (talk) 15:43, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Latin Catholics of Malabar → ? – The current title Latin Catholics of Malabar is inaccurate and misleading for several reasons: * The community is not limited to the Malabar region. Roman Catholics are historically present throughout Kerala, including Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kannur and Kasaragod. The term “Malabar” refers only to the northern part of the state and does not represent the community as a whole. * Reliable sources, including the Kerala Government Gazette, use the term “Roman Catholic (Latin)” when referring to this community. – Kerala OBC List (Government of Kerala Gazette Notification, 8 August 2023): https://fliphtml5.com/cmzub/sntx/Syro_Malabar_Syrian_Catholic_Gazette_Notification_8.8.2023/ * “Roman Catholic” is the correct ecclesiastical and governmental terminology. “Latin Catholic” is a liturgical designation, not the community’s proper name. The Catholic Church itself uses “Roman Catholic” for the Latin‑rite faithful. * The proposed title is consistent with naming conventions used for other Kerala Christian communities (e.g., Syro-Malabar Catholics, Syro-Malankara Catholics), and accurately reflects the geographic scope. For these reasons, I request that the article be moved to Roman Catholics of Kerala. PJohnTimes (talk) 14:17, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Sand City (2025 film) → Sand City (film) – There is no other straight film of the same name. The current title is a redirect due to the false marketing that exists in Indian cinema for certain films [4]. The dubbed version of the 2015 film isn't popular enough to be a redirect. If dubbed films regardless of popularity are considered, then keep this page as is and make Sand City (2015 film) redirect to Manal Naharam. DareshMohan (talk) 02:35, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – True frog → Ranidae – "Ranidae" is clearer, unambiguous, and more commonly used than "true frog" to refer to this grouping of frogs. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:37, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Seoul Infernal → Philadelphia Fusion – The team was known as the Philadelphia Fusion for five seasons as opposed to the one season as Seoul Infernal, and they are more successful under the former name. A split may also be considered since they are one of the relocated teams. MarcusAbacus (talk) 14:28, 10 March 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 17:37, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Death of Tito Traversa → Tito Traversa – Per #Renaming This Page above; I've expanded the article so that it's no longer solely about the subject's death, but also includes their life. There have been questions about the subject's notability, but the most recent AfD seems to have concluded that the subject's death was notable, at the very least. After finding numerous sources reporting on the subject's life and accomplishments, I'm inclined to argue that the subject's life may also be notable, and the article's name should be changed to reflect that. (I'm considering this to be a controversial move, since there's been discussion about this in the past) —⁠k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 16:55, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – PayScale → Payscale – Payscale rebranded and now goes by Payscale with a lower case s. Users can be confused by locating an article under PayScale, as this doesn't reflect the organization's correct name. Currently, payscale redirects to pay scale. For disambiguation, it is suggested to have a redirect for users to choose either Payscale the organization or pay scale the term. This approach is already taken with similar terms. COI - Jessica at Payscale (talk) 16:24, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Wadi Hilweh → City of David (Wadi Hilweh / Mount Ophel) – This article is using the Arabic name Wadi Hilweh for the area that was historically known in English as Mount Ophel going back to the Ottoman and British periods, and informally as the "City of David." It appears that way for over a century in the New York Times. The Arabic name "Wadi Hilweh" was not widley used English. The first mention is in the New York Times in 2008 when the Arabic name of Wadi Hilweh road was renamed: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/07/world/middleeast/07jerusalem.html?searchResultPosition=1 The former Mount Ophel area now shows up on US, UK and Russian mapping services as "City of David" following Israel's renaming of the area. That is the common English name for the area. I suggest Wadi Hilweh → City of David (Wadi Hilweh / Mount Ophel) FarFromTheMiddleEast (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – WWLY → WRXB – Call sign change occurred in Feb. 2026, current WRXB page is a redirect that could either be deleted or moved to WRXB (AM). RilennEdits (talk) 07:53, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Government attacks on journalists during the Trump presidencies → ? – There are two ways to approach this subject matter: chronologically, about the entire US over the past decade, or focusing on the Trump presidencies and federal activity. Splitting the baby should be off the table. Currently, non-federal attacks on journalists such as the Puerto Rico incidents are implied to be the result of the Trump presidency by the title. The article does not establish this logical chain. As the title determines the focus of the article, this is not a trivial issue. So I have two proposed titles, which will determine the scope of the article: Federal violence against journalists during the Trump presidencies, or American governmental violence against journalists (2016 - present).

  • (Discuss) – Isidor and Ida Straus → Isidor Straus – After the rather under-discussed merger, the move of the article name was done, and it was done so good faith. However Isidor Straus is much better known than his wife. He was an established businessman and a prominent national-level politician so this article should be a stand-alone for him.

  • (Discuss) – Chabad headquarters car ramming attack → 2026 Chabad headquarters ramming attack – A lack of other notable ramming attacks at headquarters of the Chabad movement does not imply that a year is not necessary, factors such as how identifiable the incident does, and this incident does not appear to reach that level of notoriety. Please note that WP:NCWWW states that most events titles should say when, where, and what happened. Years are not WP:OVERPRECISION or only usable for disambiguation (if this were the case, then part of NCWWW would be basically irrelevant, and guidelines and policies should work in harmony, not in opposition to one another). Readers should not be confused if there have been other notable ramming attacks at the Chabad headquarters because if there had been, it should be mentioned and linked to in the article, like with the distinguish template. Additionally, I removed "car" from the title as looking at other titles about similar incidents, they're almost all either titled "[insert type of vehicle] attack" or "ramming attack". Raskuly (talk) 22:48, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Central, Minneapolis → Downtown Minneapolis – Per WP:COMMONNAME, we want to use the commonly understood name of an area to name its page. Downtown Minneapolis is much more commonly discussed as the name for area in question, even if Central is the official community name ('downtown' used at Meet Minneapolis and Explore Minnesota, regularly by news sources such as the Strib and NPR, etc. I'd also propose a minor rewrite to the lead, e.g. "Downtown Minneapolis, officially the community of Central Minneapolis, is an area approximately made up of six neighborhoods around the city's central entertainment and business core. ~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 21:59, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Jurf al-Nasr → Jurf al-Sakhar – According to its name as recorded in recent sources, its historical name, and the name "Jurf al-Nasr" used only by those controlling the city, there is absolutely no truth to the claim that its name has been changed. Please take into consideration what is stated in the sources. Regards.Mohammed Qays (talk) 19:58, 9 March 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 21:19, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Rich's (department store) → Rich's – While there is an unrelated Massachusetts discounter called Rich's, I have found that searches for "Rich's store", "Rich's department store", et al. turn up almost universally content on the Atlanta chain. Based on page hits, inbound links, and the lack of any other companies named "Rich's" that have articles beyond the Massachusetts chain, I feel the Atlanta chain should be the primary topic of "Rich's" with a hatnote to the discount store. If needed, the page currently at Rich's can also be moved to Rich's (disambiguation).

  • (Discuss) – Tom Scott (YouTuber) → Tom Scott (internet personality) – While youtube is the source of Scott's initial notability, he largely is no longer a youtuber and his work has at this point extended past the site. Internet personality feels like a sufficiently general descriptor. I initially made a bold move as it appeared uncontroversial per #Change career?, but was reverted due to the number of moves that have already occurred in the past 5 years. While this requested move isn't directly at his request, it does come from him expressing frustration at the YouTuber disambiguator in episode 178 of Lateral [6] (at ~4:47, I will admit to being a little bit grumpy that my Wikipedia article describes me as "YouTuber".) ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) 21:08, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Mahshahr massacre → Mahshahr killings – Per the analysis by Vice regent. An analysis of google scholar results did not lead me to find a single source which referred to the events at Mahshar as a massacre. Although it is very unfortunate that so many people lost their lives, 'massacre' is not the WP:COMMONNAME, so it currently a violation of WP:POVTITLE. Additionally, Wikipedia refers to events that would otherwise be characterized as massacres as killings unless it is the common name.

  • (Discuss) – Kobryn → Kobrin – Most common use in English language. We usually stick to native names for relatively obscure plaes, but larger ones, with established usage in English must use English names. E.g.,. Ngram prefers 'Kobrin' by a wide margin. --Altenmann >talk 17:58, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Getting the wind knocked out of you → Phrenospasm – Most of the article is about phrenospasm, not about the English idiom, and so are all of the references. Naming it after the idiom and describing the idiom instead of the actual phenomenon in the lead sentence doesn't really make sense and is also a WP:NOTDICT violation. 🍅 fx (talk) 13:14, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – ABC Radio Sydney → 702 ABC Sydney – Recently, this became the station's official name. Per WP:UCRN, the station's frequency "702" is more recognisable than the name "ABC Radio Sydney", especially with long-time listeners and much easier to pronounce if you are mentioning the radio station in a conversation. This change should be made because WP:OFFICIALNAME does not outright rule out the possibility of using the most up to date name for an article's subject, just that reliable sources should commonly acknowledge the presence of a different name, the essay goes on to state "In many cases, the official name will be the best choice to fit these criteria".

  • (Discuss) – 2026 Tumbler Ridge shooting → Tumbler Ridge shooting – Going to reopen the suggestion to drop the year from the title as it remains unresolved from the previous RM. Per WP:NOYEAR, The date is not needed when the article pertains to events that are unlikely to recur. I think this standard applies to the incident since "Tumbler ridge shooting" is synonymous with this incident, there is also little past precedent for attaching the year to articles on Canadian school shootings and I dont see any reason why it would be different here. ~2026-16584-12 (talk) 09:31, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Curtis Culwell Center attack → 2015 Curtis Culwell Center attack – Event appears to fail WP:NOYEAR requirements. A lack of other notable attacks at Curtis Culwell Center does not imply that a year is not necessary, factors such as how identifiable the incident does, and this incident does not appear to reach that level of notoriety. Please note that WP:NCWWW states that most events titles should say when, where, and what happened. Years are not WP:OVERPRECISION or only usable for disambiguation (if this were the case, then part of NCWWW would be basically irrelevant, and guidelines and policies should work in harmony, not in opposition to one another).

  • (Discuss) – Fukuokakūkō Station → Fukuoka Airport Station – On its website, the name of the station translated into English appears to be the preferred English-language standard used by the Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau (the operators of the station). The most recent photos of the station that I found seem to indicate that signage leans more towards using the station name translated into English. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 23:32, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Brittany campaign → Brittany campaign (1590–1598) – This is certainly not the primary topic for the term "Brittany campaign". I am unsure what it is best to call it, so am proposing to add the dates from the article. This source calls it the League War (1589–1598). This source calls it the War of the Catholic League (1588–1598), but this source uses that term for a different period. Srnec (talk) 20:17, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Nezamiyeh → Nizamiyya – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Nizamiyya is by far the most common spelling of these institutions' name in English-language sources, including those cited in this article. See also this Ngram (singular), and this one (plural), where the predominance of Nizamiyya(s) over "Nezamiyeh(s)" is very clear. The institutions were named after Nizam al-Mulk, and English scholarship overwhelmingly refers to them as Nizamiyyas (e.g., the Nizamiyya of Baghdad[6] or the Baghdad Nizamiyya,[7] the Nizamiyya of Nishapur,[8] the Nizamiyya of Isfahan etc.).[9] The spelling "Nezamiyeh" reflects modern Iranian Persian pronunciation, which is somewhat anachronistic when referring to medieval institutions of the Seljuk period. Note also that Nizamiyya was the original article title before being moved to "Nezamiyeh" without prior discussion.

  • (Discuss) – Ibn Khaldun International Institute of Advanced Research → International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation – Frankly, the institute is rarely known by its current name (Ibn Khaldun International Institute of Advanced Research) and it's not the common name of the subject and is reasonable to change it to its original name (International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation - ISTAC) as per WP:UCRN. The ISTAC has once renamed to Ibn Khaldun International Institute of Advanced Research in 2017 but changed back to its original name 2 years later. Most of Malaysian media outlets more recognise the institute's original name rather than the 'Ibn Khaldun International Institute of Advanced Research' name. While the request to renamed the article to its original name is pending for discussion, I will try my best to expand the article as much as I can. Thank you in advance. – Fandi89 (talk) 04:34, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Sailors' Snug Harbor → Snug Harbor (Staten Island) – While expanding this article, I noticed that many modern sources refer to the complex as "Snug Harbor Cultural Center" or just "Snug Harbor". Relatively few modern sources use "Sailors' Snug Harbor", except for when they're referring to the former sailors' retreat, for example: * This 2003 book, which says that Sailors' Snug Harbor became known as the "Snug Harbor Cultural Center" * This 2010 book, which says that Sailors' Snug Harbor became known as the "Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden" (the cultural center and botanical garden were officially merged in 2008) * This 2025 New York Times article (ProQuest), which says "That haven, known as Sailors' Snug Harbor, eventually became the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden." * The NYC Parks website, which refers to Sailors' Snug Harbor in the past tense and "Snug Harbor" in the present Other than that, the current complex is known mostly as "Snug Harbor". N-grams show that "Snug Harbor" is more commonly used, so per WP:NAMECHANGES I think we should move the page to remove the "Sailors'" terminology. I attempted to move this to Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, but Station1 raised a concern that this wasn't actually meeting WP:CONCISE or WP:COMMONNAME, so this move has been reverted. I propose "Snug Harbor (Staten Island)" as an alternate title that actually is the current common name. Epicgenius (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Mount Alfred (Otago) → Mount Alfred / Ari – Removing unnecessary disambiguation with a more WP:CONCISE title. The dual name is the official name of the mountain (which I know doesn't mean much per WP:OFFICIAL, but I mention it to demonstrate that it's not a construction and is a valid title option). Very few recent sources mention this mountain, with other Mount Alfreds (Mounts Alfred?) in Canada, Australia and Antarctica dwarfing it in both news and scholarly searches. Those that do mention this often use the dual name (examples here and here). Between this and the use of the dual name in maps and other sources which people looking at the area would likely use, the proposed title is a much better option than the current title and can act as WP:NATURAL disambiguation in addition to being a more recognisable title.

  • (Discuss) – Westmoreland tornado → 2024 Westmoreland tornado – Per WP:NCWWW. "In the majority of cases, the title of the article should contain the following three descriptors When the incident happened, Where the incident happened, What happened. In order for years to be omitted from the title, would be if it's such a widely known event that a year is unnecessary. The Joplin tornado of May 22, 2011 is a good example. The June 9, 1953 Worcester tornado is another good example. The 2024 Westmoreland tornado is not so widely known and notable enough to have its name omitted from the title.

  • (Discuss) – Maghrib → Maghrib (disambiguation) – Maghrib is a variant spelling of Maghreb and is very common in scholarly writing, since it is the standard transliteration of the Arabic term in the most commonly used systems. The Encyclopaedia of Islam, New Edition has an article on al-Maghrib but not on the prayer, which is covered in the article on salat. Ngrams show capital-M Maghrib much more popular than maghrib. I think it is safe to treat the Maghreb as the primary topic for Maghrib and make it a redirect at least. Srnec (talk) 21:06, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Manchester synagogue attack → 2025 Manchester synagogue attack – Event appears to fail WP:NOYEAR requirements. A lack of other notable attacks at synagogues in Manchester does not imply that a year is not necessary, factors such as how identifiable the incident does, and this incident does not appear to reach that level of notoriety. Please note that WP:NCWWW states that most events titles should say when, where, and what happened. Raskuly (talk) 18:13, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Wheel of Fortune → Wheel of Fortune (disambiguation) – The page on the American game show has 1,000 to 1,200 daily page views. The tarot card has only 200 a day, and all other works titled "Wheel of Fortune" have substantially fewer. Also, while the gambling game is also called "wheel of fortune", its article is at Big Six wheel, suggesting that is the more common name for it. Most of the songs titled "Wheel of Fortune" have 5-10 page views a day at best, ditto the novel and play. I don't think this is too Amerocentric or too much of a recency bias relative to the tarot card, as this is a show that's been on the air non-stop for 50 years, and a basic Google search for "Wheel of Fortune" turns up exclusively info on the American verison of the game show. The page views, inbound links, daily page traffic, and off-site searching seem to show overwhelming favor toward the American game show being the primary topic of "Wheel of Fortune". Compare a similar move done to The Price Is Right a while back. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:54, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Akıncılar → Akıncılar, Akıncılar – Looking at the various topics listed at Akıncılar (disambiguation), the one with the highest readership interest is Louroujina. There is also a district called Akıncılar District, in which the town that currently has its article at the base name "Akıncılar" is located, and there are also various other identified towns and villages and neighborhoods that have this name. The "primary topic" town has a population only around 2,500 people, so it is just a small town, not a major city. Moreover, "Akıncılar" is also the name of a hacker group that claimed credit for a website attack that followed the Charia Hebdo satire publication. Overall, it does not seem clear that the reader would almost certainly be looking for the current "primary topic" town if they look for "Akıncılar". Pageview data is here.

  • (Discuss) – List of elected and appointed female state leaders → List of female state leaders – The disambiguation "elected and appointed" is not useful for the purpose of describing the contents of this article. The distinction between being elected or being appointed does not make any head of state or government differ in legitimacy. I can only see that we might use the current title if there is some type of elevation to the position of a head of government or a head of state by some method other than election or appointment. This would be a lot more WP:CONCISE and the distinction should be mentioned within the article instead of using an unnecessary disambiguation.

Most reliable sources use the word "strike" (e.g. NBC, BBC, Guardian) so I think the article title should more accurately reflect how it is reported in WP:RS.

  • (Discuss) – Attempted assassination of Ali Khamenei → 1981 attempted assassination of Ali Khamenei – The current title is no longer the most precise title for this topic. Per WP:NCWWW, event articles generally use "when, where, and what", and the guideline expressly notes that even where there is not yet another article with the same base name, "the year is a useful identifier". It also notes that dates may be unnecessary for killings or deaths that can happen only once, but that logic does not apply the same way to assassination attempts, which can recur. This article covers the 1981 attempt on Ali Khamenei, while there is now also a separate article on the 2026 assassination of Ali Khamenei. Technically, these are two assassination attempts (and the 2026 one succeeded). In that context, the unqualified title Attempted assassination of Ali Khamenei is less clear in historical perspective and risks reader confusion. Adding the year makes the title more WP:PRECISE.

  • (Discuss) – 12 Angry Men (1957 film) → 12 Angry Men – Since all the previous opposes were on the basis that I hadn't explicitly requested this page to be moved, here it is, proposed to be moved. A couple possible suggestions would be Twelve Angry Men (franchise) or Twelve Angry Men (story). To be honest, I don't love either of these, if anyone has a better disambiguator feel free to suggest it. Most of my proposal is carried on from the previous request, but just for a quick update on stats: the 1957 film now has 76% of pageviews of all articles titled something like "Twelve Angry Men" over the past five years, which is 6.6 times the next highest article and still clear of the bar required by WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, which is "much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined". The film is also the primary topic by long-term significance. This movie is very, very widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time. It was critically acclaimed upon release and regularly shows up in lists of the best films of all time to this day, almost 70 years later. The American Film Institute ranked it as the second best courtroom drama ever, and it has been selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. It even influenced a Supreme Court justice. None of the other potential topics are nearly as important or iconic as this film. I want to stress that a concept dab is only a good idea if none of the articles is the primary topic. If that was the case, the article currently at Twelve Angry Men would be a good choice. But that is not the case here. This film is far more important than any of the other versions of this story, more important than all the rest of them put together. For a similar example, the obvious concept dab for "The Exorcist" would be the franchise article, which covers basically major topic with that title. However, since the film is the most important topic, it is the primary topic and not the franchise article. The same thing should apply here: the film adaptation is the most important topic, so it should have the base name. Ladtrack (talk) 01:10, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Speak (Hungarian rapper) → Speak the Hungarian Rapper – Per WP:NCDAB, Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation . There is another rapper at Speak! so disambiguation is necessary. In this article in the Guardian, he is introduced as "Speak the Hungarian rapper" and referred to as Speak in the rest of the article. The fact that there is no comma to me indicates a full version of his stage name rather than an appositive.

  • (Discuss) – Lord Mountbatten → Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma – The result of the last RM on this page was definitely mixed even though we settled on "Lord Mountbatten". However, when a similar RM was lodged here to move Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma to "Lady Mountbatten" based on WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONSISTENT, many people opposed on the grounds that the move on her husband's page should not have been carried out and needed to be reverted, arguing that the move was not "encyclopaedic". Hence I am trying to create the opportunity for people to argue why this page could potentially be reverted back to its original title given that this was the main reason the RM at his wife's page failed. I hope this settles the debate on whether we should go with the common name alone, or the name that is common and 'encyclopedic'. Keivan.fTalk 18:59, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Amanda Toll → Amanda Soto – I am making this request after communication with the subject and on her behalf.

  • (Discuss) – Luigi (character) → Luigi (Mario) – Really surprised this RM discussion hasn't happened yet. This proposed title has been mentioned multiple times on previous RM's so I figured it's worth discussing. The problem with the current title is that it implies that Luigi is from a series/franchise called Luigi, which is not true. The (character) DB is reserved for non-primary topic titular characters whose names are a topic for the series/franchise they are from, such as Rayman (character). Luigi is a Mario character, and I would argue that his list of games do not qualify as a series or sub-series (despite what the article says), and I know this has been a point of discussion here and here, so I won't be recycling those arguments here. I realize that this may lead to discussions about whether or not Luigi is a series or not, so I think that if we want to discuss that first before deciding on this RM, we should discuss it on the Luigi "series" talk page. Edit: Also happy Mario day. I hadn't realized I made this RM on March 10 haha. ThePoggingEditor (talk) 14:07, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Countryballs → Polandball – 1. When this article was originally created, and at every stage in its history (save for the change in September 2021), the term "Polandball" was Presumed due to significant coverage with reliable sources, while the term "Countryballs" is a term primarily used by fandoms to refer to the characters included in Polandball comics and animations. Even now, when the Google search term "Polandball" is used, the Wikipedia article for "Countryballs" is the only search result not using that term, although Google clearly and inextricably connects the two terms. 2. The term "Polandball" has more Significant Coverage than the term "Countryballs." Even this article's own references section contains more hits for "Polandball" than for "Countryballs." Furthermore, of the 3 references listed that employ the term "Countryballs," two of them are about games, while the secondary sources referring to "Polandball" vastly outnumber the sources using the term "Countryballs." 3. On the subject of Reliable Sources Independent of the Subject, as I mentioned in point 2, the secondary sources cited by this article that refer to the term "Polandball" are all reliable sources that are independent of the subject. For all of these listed reasons, it should be reasonable for this article to be titled "Polandball." That said, as is currently the inverse on the article, the term "Countryballs" should be included as an alternate name.

  • (Discuss) – Natural History Museum, Berlin → Museum für Naturkunde Berlin – I understand there has been a previous debate over the name of this article back in 2017 (9 years ago, more than long enough for a revisit!), particularly whether the German name should be used or any of various English names for the museum. However, I would like to make the case that we should be using the German name, and that there was not adequate evidence in the first place that any of the previously discussed English names is the most common name for the museum in English as opposed to the German name itself. My rationales: # The museum's website uses the name "Museum für Naturkunde Berlin" in the English language version of the website. I realise WP:OFFICIAL says common names are preferred over official names, but actually I list this here to advocate for this specific form of the German name (once I establish that the German name is in fact the most common even in English). # Going through the linked databases in the authority control, variants of the German name are used in almost all of them: #* Library of Congress (United States): Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin #* BnF (France): Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) #* OPAC SBN (Italy): Museum fur Naturkunde <Berlino> #* NL CR (Czech Republic): Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin #* BIBSYS (Norway): Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin #* National Library of Israel (Israel): Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin #* cantic (Catalonia, Spain): Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin #* Yale LUX (United States): Natural History Museum, Berlin, 1810- (interesting that this is an exception, huh) # Testing all the English name variants used before with Google Scholar (in addition to two German names), results suggest that by far the most common name for the museum in English scientific publications is the German name (that is, with results for the German name restricted to English, of course): #* "Natural History Museum, Berlin" 625 results #* "Natural History Museum in Berlin" 375 results #* "Berlin Natural History Museum" 375 results #* "Museum of Natural History, Berlin" 800 results #* "Natural History Museum of Berlin" 181 results #* "Natural History Museum in Berlin" 375 results #* "Museum für Naturkunde Berlin" 9,960 results for English only (vs 12,100 results total) #* "Museum für Naturkunde" 43,000 results for English only (vs 57,300 results total) # Revisiting Google Books meanwhile, it does not conclusively prove either way whether English names are more commonly used in English than the German name (if anything it seems rather useless now for determining this since 5 of the names I checked ostensibly have over 1 million results anyway, including both of the German names) #* "Natural History Museum, Berlin": About 1,000,000 results #* "Natural History Museum in Berlin": 2 results #* "Berlin Natural History Museum": About 1,000,000 results #* "Museum of Natural History, Berlin": About 1,000,000 results #* "Natural History Museum of Berlin": 1 result #* "Natural History Museum in Berlin": 2 results #* "Museum für Naturkunde Berlin": About 1,000,000 results (even when ostensibly restricted to English, but I still see German results then again, idk what I can do about that) #* "Museum für Naturkunde" About 1,000,000 results (ditto) # As if to further make the point for me that Google Books results counts may not be reliable here, I tried the above again but with time limited to 21st century, and I got even more bizzare results, a number of these apparently increasing in result count rather than decreasing as expected (highlighted in bold), and somehow now 6 of these have over 1 million results: #*"Natural History Museum, Berlin": 2 results #*"Natural History Museum in Berlin": About 1,000,000 results #*"Berlin Natural History Museum": About 1,000,000 results #*"Museum of Natural History, Berlin": About 1,000,000 results #*"Natural History Museum of Berlin": 9 results #*"Natural History Museum in Berlin": About 1,000,000 results #*"Museum für Naturkunde Berlin": About 1,000,000 results #*"Museum für Naturkunde" About 1,000,000 results If I've not adequately demonstrated that the German name is the mostly widely used in English via international databases as well as in scientific papers in Google Scholar, then I guess I've at least shown that Google Books can no longer be relied on to check which name is most common (assuming it ever was reliable). I had the idea of checking Google News, but no search counts are used there that I can see that I can compare with, unfortunately. Monster Iestyn (talk) 23:49, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon → 2024 Lebanon War – This move should be made for three reasons. One, multiple sources characterize the events of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in late 2024 as a full scale war. Secondly, most sources seem to conclude that the ground invasion from October 1 onwards was a component of the broader war. Most sources, including RSes state that the "war" started in September with the Israeli pager and aerial campaign in Lebanon that preceded the ground invasion by a week. Therefore, in addition to moving this article to 2024 Lebanon War, the scope and date of the article should be changed to match as such (alternatively, 2024 Lebanon War could be created as a seperate fork article, but that seems redundant). Additionally, the title will bring it into consistency with the 1982 and 2006 Wars. Sources: *NBC ("The low-level conflict escalated into full-scale war in September 2024") *BBC ("The strikes were among the deadliest in Lebanon since a ceasefire ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah in November 2024.") *France 24 ("That set off a more than year-long conflict that culminated in two months of open war before last year's ceasefire was agreed... In September 2024, Israel killed the group's longtime chief, Hassan Nasrallah, along with many other senior leaders over the course of the war.") *CBS ("Shine said the party became less popular after the pager attack and the group's decision to bring Lebanon into a war with Israel") *AP ("The low-level conflict escalated into full-scale war in September 2024, later reined in but not fully stopped by a U.S.-brokered ceasefire two months later.)" *The Independent ("Metula residents were among the 64,000 forced to evacuate and relocate to hotels and temporary homes farther south when Hezbollah began firing rockets over the border into Israel in fall 2023. Months of fighting escalated into a full-fledged war. In September 2024, Israel killed 12 and wounded over 3,000 in a coordinated pager attack and killed Hezbollah's leader in a strike.") *The Guardian ("In September 2024, Israel killed the group’s longtime chief Hassan Nasrallah along with many other senior leaders over the course of the war... Once the dominant political and military power in Lebanon, Hezbollah was badly weakened by Israel’s war last year, which killed thousands of its fighters and Nasrallah.") *The Telegraph ("Even before Tuesday’s exploding pager attack on Hezbollah, war seemed to be looming on the Israel-Lebanon border... But the ghosts of the 1982 and 2006 wars loom over any talk of fighting in Lebanon.") *WaPo ("The United States and France will also join an existing verification mission, established after the last Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006...") *NYT ("Both sides appeared to moderate their exchanges to avoid a broader war... In mid-September, Israel mounted surprise attacks by detonating booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members.") *Additional sources PBS, The New Arab, Al Jazeera, Jerusalem Post, and many more. — Knightoftheswords 22:50, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Muhammad XI of Granada → Muhammad X of Granada – Traditionally, historians have identified Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad b. 'Uthman, as Muhammad X. This assessment was based on Castilian chronicles which identified him only as el Cojo ("the Lame One"). However, following publication of a new Nasrid-era Arabic source, Ibn c Āṣim's Junnat al-Rida, it has been shown that he was actually Yusuf b. Ahmad ruling as Yusuf V. This means that Muhammad XI, XII, and XIII need to be renamed/renumbered. Most 21st century sources have adopted the new numbering. See for example: *Mediano, F. (2010).

  • (Discuss) – Egyptian Arabs in Israel → Egyptians in Israel – The title is very confusing. I guess the point is to distinguish non-Jewish Egyptians from Egyptian Jews (though much of the content is rather ambiguous toward the ethnoreligious identities of these immigrants), but I would argue that it doesn't even succeed in that; plenty of Jews living in (or who emigrated from) Arab countries consider themselves Arab as well. I think the example set by Russians in Israel, which discusses all Russian immigrants to Israel, Jewish or not, with a separate article focusing on Russian Jews in Israel, would be favorable here (content specifically on Egyptian Jews in Israel could be split off once this article has developed a bit more). — An anonymous username, not my real name 16:16, 27 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. CNC (talk) 18:47, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – 2025 Alvarado ICE facility incident → 2025 Prairieland ICE detention center shooting – Per WP:COMMONNAME. New stories about the trial from KERA, KDFW KXAS, the Denton Record-Chronicle, and the Dallas Observer all use some version of "Prairieland ICE detention center shooting" when discussing the event. Supporters of the defendants have prominently branded them as the "Prairieland 19", not the "Alvarado 19". When I google "Prairieland", the first three hits are "Prairieland shooting", "Prairieland ICE detention center shooting", and "Prairieland defendants", and all of the stories on the first page of Google and DuckDuckGo news search results include "Prairieland shooting" in their titles rather than "Alvarado incident". The WP:COMMONNAME is clearly leaning towards "Prairieland shooting". IMPORTANT NOTE: I proposed the previous RM, which was rejected on WP:NPOV grounds due to the word "shooting" versus "incident". The main thrust of this RM is to replace "Alvarado ICE facility" with "Prairieland ICE detention center". I stand by my earlier argument that "shooting" remains a factually accurate title that satisfies WP:PRECISE; however, if the word remains contentious, I would prefer 2025 Prairieland ICE detention center incident over the current title, even though I find "incident" to be needlessly vague.

  • (Discuss) – Woolworth → Woolworth (disambiguation) – Extensive searching for just "Woolworth" with no other qualifiers turned up universally content for the former American chain. All the other chains by this name are derivations of the American company, use an S at the end, or both. Everything I found suggests that "Woolworth" is widely understood to be the WP:COMMONNAME of the American chain, and "Woolworths" with an S and no apostrophe mainly associated with the UK or Australia chains. While I have seen the American chain referred to as "Woolworth's" with an apostrophe and S, this seems to be a common speech pattern mainly found in the Midwest, akin to people saying "Kroger's" instead of Kroger, and not a variant widely used by any of the chains. I feel that the "Woolworth", with no S and no apostrophe, is sufficient per WP:SMALLDETAILS to distinguish the various chains in Australia, UK, and elsewhere from the American chain. Everything else is either a partial title match and/or derived from the American chain.

  • (Discuss) – Chams → Cham people – Using Chams with a plural -s and without people is somewhat indistinct and confusing. First-time readers might wonder whether it refers to a thing, a concept, or a group of people since the Cham are not as well-known a people as Koreans, Germans, Swedes, or Canadians (see examples at WP:ETHNICGROUP). A demonym is "a word that identifies a group of people (inhabitants, residents, natives) in relation to a particular place." Meanwhile, Champa was a multiethnic society, and Cham was not its sole ethnic composition. Furthermore, many Cham people today live outside the territory of the former Champa. Thus, Cham is not strictly a demonym, and the title Cham people is simply the natural way to refer to the group and less vague. Hence, the proposal is based on the criteria of Naturalness and Recognizability per WP:TITLE. --Greenknight dv (talk) 04:29, 10 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 18:24, 17 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 05:03, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

"Byzantines" is common usage for the Romaioi during the Byzantine period but scholarship in the Ottoman period does not have as much consensus and in the modern era they are still called Romaioi (Greeks in Turkey) though this is more complicated. This is necessary as readers should not think of these are different people but as the same people in different eras. Usage of Greeks as an identifier pre-1821 (versus Greek speakers) is also not neutral as was debated before for Byzantine Greeks and is similarly an issue for Ottoman Greeks as multiple Balkan ethnicities emerged from the Romaioi Biz (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 04:59, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Lazar Stefanović (disambiguation) → Lazar Stefanović – There was an inconclusive RM at Talk:Lazar Stefanovic last year involving this title, and another editor disputed my recent move. So, apparently I have to force a new RM. Sorry. There is no primary topic for the Serbian name "Lazar Stefanović" (with the diacritic), because we know that this was the name of both a 20th century politician, a present-day sportsperson from Serbia, as well as the Serbian name of a person of Serbian descent in North America, whose article title omits the diacritic. A Google Books search for this name, Lazar Stefanović, gives me exclusively information about the politician. Therefore, it would likely surprise readers who are aware of this and then look this up in the encyclopedia to find that that we focus on another topic, esp. one with far less obvious long-term significance. Showing how ambiguous this name is the most appropriate solution. For readers who look up the name without a diacritic, the modern-day American/Canadian person might well be a primary topic, and I'm not arguing for changing that at this time (because I don't particularly care to do the amount of due diligence necessary to do that). What is however apparent is that they aren't the primary topic for the Serbian name. Joy (talk) 21:40, 7 February 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 07:42, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Natalie and Nadiya Anderson → Natalie Anderson (Survivor contestant) – Natalie is the more significant individual of the two. For the most of the article, Natalie is the focus as she is continuing to do shows solo since debuting with her twin. All sections are just focusing on her (Early Life, TV Appearances, Political views, etc.) There is a mention of Naydia and still can be as she is her twin. This should just be a Natalie Anderson page and if Naydia becomes for significant in future years, her page can be created.

  • (Discuss) – Metal Gear Solid (2000 video game) → Metal Gear: Ghost Babel – I've debated making this RM for a while now, but today I felt like going ahead with it in light of recent announcements. While both names are in theory valid, I believe that Metal Gear: Ghost Babel is the WP:COMMONNAME of Metal Gear Solid (2000 video game), and it should be moved to that title, with the original Metal Gear Solid video game moved as well to compensate. My points are as follows: # While a lot of sources do refer to it as simply Metal Gear Solid, it's generally within the context of only talking about that game. But when you look for sources that discuss the series as a whole, you will start to see a lot that refer to it as Ghost Babel. A few examples: [28] [29] [30] [31]. Even sources that do choose to refer to it as just Metal Gear Solid seem to point out that it's also named Ghost Babel. [32] [33] # The game was referred to as Ghost Babel from the beginning in its initial release country of Japan, and by technicality, a bit before it made its way to the United States. This should especially be noted as we have articles where we refer to a release based on what it was originally called. For example, Yoshi's Universal Gravitation is called such because that's the title it goes by in most regions, even if Topsy-Turvy is used sometimes. # Ghost Babel is a more precise, valid name that eliminates the need for a disambiguation. # Perhaps most importantly and what got me to make this request today specifically, a re-release of this game was recently announced as part of the second volume of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. Even in the United States (and everywhere, for that matter), the game is now officially being referred to by Konami as Ghost Babel. [34] [35] [36] The move would also allow Metal Gear Solid (1998 video game) to be moved to simply Metal Gear Solid (video game) without issue, as the release year disambiguation would no longer be necessary and the 1998 game is the obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. A disambiguation hatnote could be kept on that article to guide people to this article, if they are still looking for it. λ NegativeMP1 23:29, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
