Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Noakhailla language (currently a redirect to Noakhailla) → Noakhailla (move · discuss) – to make shorter (WP:CONCISE) by eliminating disambiguator; additionally, the article calls Noakhailla a dialect, not a language; cf. others in Category:Bengali dialects. — AjaxSmack 22:18, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Agaricus flavorubens (currently a redirect to Amanita flavorubens) → Amanita flavorubens (move · discuss) – The article title was moved to the incorrect genus based on an outdated page on MycoBank. This species is phylogenetically placed within the genus Amanita, not Agaricus. I have made all the text edits needed, but cannot move the page as I get an error message saying: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Following nomenclature rules, the article title should also be in italics. Thank you in advance. Loganborosch (talk) 01:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Greene's Tutorial College (currently a redirect to Greene's College Oxford) → Greene's College Oxford (move · discuss) – new name of schoool, rebranding/renaming of the school per school's website 2A02:1210:2C5A:AE00:8DEA:3397:14EA:74A3 (talk) 10:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Culture of Ukraine → Ukrainian culture (currently a redirect back to Culture of Ukraine) (move · discuss) – No sources in the article are talking about "Culture of Ukraine" but of "Ukrainian culture" as well as article content. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Manyareasexpert: There's certainly a WP:TITLECON argument to be made for keeping it at Culture of Ukraine, since nearly every article in Category:Culture by country use "Culture of...". --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)- should I open a move discussion then? and how to close this then? ManyAreasExpert (talk) 21:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Manyareasexpert: click on 'Discuss' above. It will load a pre-loaded template on the article's talk page. Save the edit on the talk page there. Come back to here, and then remove this entry. – robertsky (talk) 01:54, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

- Pallar → Devendrakula Velalar (currently a redirect instead to Devendrakulam) (move · discuss) – Parliament Passes Bill To Classify 7 Scheduled Caste Groups Of Tamil Nadu As 'Devendrakula Velalars', having a page as pallar to refer as devendrakula Velalar is not right. It’s better to move this page as Devendrakula Velalar as it comprises 7 subcastes. The Indian Government parliament ammendment has been given for viewing where pallar and others 6 subcastes don’t exist in the government records.
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Page I want to move it to is currently a redirect. worldgiant (talk) 04:39, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Articles related to Indian castes are inherently controversial. – robertsky (talk) 09:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Worldgiant: 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 💬 20:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

- Friesland (disambiguation) → Friesland (move · discuss) – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:NCLANG PK2 (talk) 13:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't agree with this, and have reverted the recent move from Friesland to Friesland (province). The province seems the primary topic for this Dutch/German term when rendered in English, given that the region is usually called Frisia. — Amakuru (talk) 13:45, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @PK2: This technical request has been contested. As such, 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). I have also adjusted the discuss link to include requesting the now-reverted move Friesland → Friesland (province). SilverLocust 💬 21:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

- Ball (association football) → Football (association football) (currently a redirect back to Ball (association football)) (move · discuss) – Per MOS:BOLDLEAD. Neo Purgatorio (talk) 15:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not particularly sure how it's controversial. Three out of four of the bolded names in the lead contain "football." The entire article uses the word "football." Neo Purgatorio (talk) 15:48, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Because Football (association football) could refer to the sport itself? 162 etc. (talk) 16:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
