  • (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. (The pale yellow curve in that pageview illustration is hard to see, but it is worth noticing.) —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:27, 7 March 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 04:17, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Rambouillet Agreement → Rambouillet conference – The term "Rambouillet Agreement", though used in some RS, is misleading, since one of the main parties to the conflict never agreed to the proposal. Most reliable sources seem to use "Rambouillet conference" or "Rambouillet talks".VR (Please ping on reply) 03:01, 7 March 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 04:16, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Fatal attraction → Fatal attraction (sociology) – And retarget this page's current title to point to Fatal Attraction. The film is the primary topic for "Fatal attraction"; this page's topic is too niche, obscure, and recent to displace the film from being the primary topic for the phrase "fatal attraction". ~2026-15967-21 (talk) 17:07, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – List of elected and appointed female state leaders → List of female state leadersList 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.

  • (Discuss) – Where is Mama → Where Is Mama? – I think this needs a question mark, and uppercase "Is" per MOS:CT. However, the English title may be unsourced. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:26, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – 2026 Minab school attack → 2026 Minab school strike – A recent RM was closed with a consensus the previous title of "airstrike" was not appropriate for missile strikes and that the article had to be moved from that original title, but didn't establish consensus that "attack" is a more accurate descriptor than "strike". 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) – San Jose State transgender volleyball controversy → 2024 San Jose State transgender volleyball controversy – I think there is enough substance to this article to avoid it being deleted, however I think the article should be renamed so that it specifies the year of the event. Adding the year clarifies scope, avoids ambiguity with any future or past disputes involving San José State athletics SammySpartan (talk) 16:40, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Bill (weapon) → Billhook (Weapon) – It's distinct enough and also vastly more popular than the bill. It was the equal of the halberd in popularity at the time. (Talk) PHLOGISTON ENTHUSIAST 15:23, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Los Angeles Jewish Community Center shooting → 1999 Los Angeles Jewish Community Center shooting – Event appears to fail WP:NOYEAR requirements. A lack of other notable shootings at the Los Angeles Jewish Community 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.

  • (Discuss) – McKinney quadruple murder → 2004 McKinney murders – Event appears to fail WP:NOYEAR requirements. A lack of other notable shootings on a Brownstone Lane 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. I've chosen this title rather than 2004 McKinney quadruple murder per WP:CONSISTENT as other articles about similar topics, such as 2007 Carnation murders, 2009 Thanksgiving murders, and Hart family murders simply say "murders".

  • (Discuss) – Florence, South Carolina shooting → 2018 Florence, South Carolina, shooting – Event appears to fail WP:NOYEAR requirements. A lack of other notable shootings in Florence, South Carolina, 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. I've added a comma after "South Carolina" per MOS:GEOCOMMA.

  • (Discuss) – Ba'ath Party (Iraqi-dominated faction) → Ba'ath Party (Saddamist faction) – Calling the factions "Iraqi-dominated" and "Syrian-dominated" has not been accurate since the 2003 invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and even moreso following the fall of Ba'athist Syria in late 2024. Neither of these parties maintain a presence in their "countries of domination" anymore. Glide08 (talk) 10:51, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Mahmudiyah rape and killings → Mahmudiyah rape and murders – The perpetrators were convicted of murder, so WP:MURDER suggests using the word "murder" in the title. The article text already calls the killings "murder", only the title doesn't use that word. cathartid - talk 06:03, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Assyrian flag → Flag of AssyriaFlag 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. Bw02145 (talk) 03:59, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Detroit Wall → Birwood WallBirwood Wall – "Birwood Wall" appears to be the name used in most contemporary sources, including the National Register of Historic Places listing, the Michigan state historical marker at the Alfonso Wells Memorial Playground, and the 2019 book Detroit's Birwood Wall: Hatred & Healing in the West Eight Mile Community.

  • (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) – 12 Angry Men (1957 film) → 12 Angry Men12 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) – USENIX Annual Technical Conference → ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference – ATC's publisher and sponsor changed from USENIX to ACM SIGOPS. Accordingly, the name of the conference was changed to "ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference"; see the revised introduction text in the article. The new title reflects this change.
