- Brigadoon: Marin & Melan → Brigadoon (TV series) – (Discuss) – English title, per Tokyopop. SBF2004 (talk) 15:44, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- St. Francis de Sales High School (Chicago, Illinois) → St. Francis de Sales High School (Illinois) – (Discuss) – These have unnecessary detail in their disambiguation terms. The state is sufficient for most of them. For the two in Ohio, the city is needed. Columbus seems unambiguous as a location identifier. Toledo also seems unambiguous when combined with "High School", because that would not be the name of a school in Spain. If we want to use city names instead of states, "Chicago", "Louisville", "Detroit", and "Walla Walla" seem unambiguous, but "Geneva" is ambiguous/confusing. By the way, I suggest to combine the two disambiguation pages St. Francis de Sales School and St. Francis de Sales High School. At least one of the topics is already listed in both places. — BarrelProof (talk) 05:39, 23 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. msk 00:02, 31 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. msk 14:32, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

- Bournemouth Marathon → Run Bournemouth – (Discuss) – The Bournemouth Marathon Festival was rebranded as Run Bournemouth after the full marathon was discontinued. The current event is a festival comprising the Bournemouth Half Marathon, Supersonic 10K, Supernova 5K and junior races. The organiser consistently calls the overall event "Run Bournemouth", and BCP Council documented the new name and removal of the marathon distance. The proposed title therefore reflects the current name and broader scope of the event. ~2026-46225-25 (talk) 11:35, 24 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. – LuniZunie(talk) 12:20, 31 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. msk 14:29, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- 2021 PNP–PDEA shootout → 2021 Quezon City PNP–PDEA shootout – (Discuss) – Per WP:NCWWW, the location should be in the title; I don't think this event is recognisable enough for it to be dropped. See also discussion here. Helpful Cat🐈⬛ 12:44, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- Seatons (village) → Seatons – (Discuss) – Seatons already redirects here. The disambiguation was presumably placed in the name to distinguish from a non-notable college house that does not have an article. CROIXtalk 12:25, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

- Third Barzaga → Elpidio Barzaga III – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME, also, many sources use Elpidio Barzaga III omitting “Third”, this is the similar case on why Elpidio Barzaga Jr. isn’t Pidi Barzaga. Here is a list of sources that omit the usage of Third.
1. Philstar
2.Inquirer
3. GMA
4. GMA Most of the sources used in this article use Barzaga III. THIS Barzaga’s nickname is as not used as much unlike as his older brother Kiko Meow and mother Jenny. Wilson Palacpac III (talk) 11:37, 7 September 2026 (UTC) - Unionization in the nonprofit sector → Unionization in the nonprofit sector in the United States – (Discuss) – I propose merging to Unionization in the nonprofit sector in the United States on behalf of User:Eskivor, who made two attempts to split the article under WP:BOLD, both of which were reverted by myself and User:Wil540 art. They propose that the United States section be moved to Unionization in the nonprofit sector in the United States. I personally agree with the split, as long as a fairly large but smaller summary of the removed information remains on this article. Edlectro28 (talk) 11:28, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

- Lost in Translation → Lost in Translation (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – The movie is pretty clearly the primary topic. It gets over 93% of pageviews of articles titled "Lost in Translation", and every identifiable clickthrough out of the disambiguation page. That hits the usage mark of "highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined" to be sought. It's also the primary topic by long-term significance, as it's widely regarded as one of the best films of the 21st century. Nothing else comes close. Ladtrack (talk) 05:02, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

- German involvement in Georgian–Abkhaz conflict → German involvement in Abkhazia conflict – (Discuss) – The article is called Abkhazia conflict and Abkhazia conflict (1918), it would be better for consistency. ~2026-47124-53 (talk) 02:02, 31 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Raymond V, Count of Toulouse → Raymond V of Toulouse – (Discuss) – Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#Sovereigns, which states "In the case of monarchs whose common name is ambiguous and not the primary meaning, article titles are normally in the form "{Monarch's first name and ordinal} of {Country}". Additionally, other such counts of Toulouse have had their pages moved. Illini11 (talk) 01:51, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- Moldovan resistance during World War II → Resistance in Moldova during World War II – (Discuss) – Per the #Ethnic representation section in the article, most of the members of this resistance movement came from minorities in Moldova, rather than from Moldovans. The article asserts that Moldovans in fact "
were often eager participants in anti-Soviet reprisals, which often doubled as pogroms against Jews
", that their loyalty to the Soviet Union was considered questionable and that they were distrusted in the Red Army from being deployed at the frontline. Under these conditions I consider the current title to carry a significant misleading potential by making some readers possibly believe the resistance movement was largely composed by Moldovans, as it would generally be the case with other similar articles. Modern Moldova is a nation state, and readers won't be first thinking of the demonym in a civic sense as they might with an article such as Belgian Resistance. I consider this potential confusion particularly harmful considering the article asserts Moldovans were in fact not trusted by the Soviet authorities and that they rather participated more often in anti-Soviet (and even antisemitic) actions instead. The proposed title would break WP:CONSISTENT; only Resistance in Lithuania during World War II breaks the demonym standard so far across similar articles. I think it is warranted however given the circumstances highlighted above that I believe have no equivalent case among other articles. "Moldovan resistance" is not a particularly established term in English-language academia; there's only 13 Google Scholar results, and most of them refer to post-Soviet topics. I could only identify one source using it to refer to the World War II movement (though there's a couple sources I couldn't get a preview on). "Resistance in Moldova" shows 53 results, of which two I could identify as refering to World War II. Given the lack of a particular established term in academia, I consider the proposed title superior in being more WP:PRECISE, and for the reasons expressed so far, also justified in straying away from WP:CONSISTENT. It is not that much of a change actually, but still an improvement I believe. Super Ψ Dro 23:37, 30 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 01:24, 7 September 2026 (UTC) - Parrotbill → Paradoxornithidae – (Discuss) – The current circumscription of Paradoxornithidae has expanded considerably from that used when this article was first created, when the family included only the parrotbills (and the bearded reedling, which is now placed in a distinct family). It now also encompasses the wrentit, various babblers and fulvettas, Myzornis, and others. Therefore, it seems questionable whether the traditionally used term "parrotbill", which refers more narrowly to Suthora and Paradoxornis, is sufficiently representative to serve as the common name for the entire family. On the other hand, there is also an argument for retaining an English name as the article title, since English names are more likely to be searched for than scientific names. AviList assigns the common name "Parrotbills and Allies" to this family, although it is not uncommon for the entire family to be collectively referred to as "parrotbills".

- System of people's congress → System of people's congresses – (Discuss) – Technically, this should be plural, not singular. Amigao (talk) 17:01, 30 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 23:54, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- Zehnder's → Zehnder's of Frankenmuth – (Discuss) – The proposed title more accurately reflects the article's broader subject. Although the page is currently framed primarily around Zehnder's Restaurant, reliable sources describe Zehnder's of Frankenmuth as a family-owned hospitality company whose operations include the flagship restaurant, Zehnder's Splash Village, The Fortress golf course, its bakery and marketplace, and The Mill at Zehnder Park. Expanding the existing article would avoid creating overlapping articles for the restaurant and company. The proposed title is more precise under WP:PRECISE and distinguishes the broader organization from its flagship restaurant, while “Zehnder's” can remain as a redirect. This broader treatment is supported by Restaurant Business, Bridge Michigan, and the James Beard Foundation. DUBYA18 (talk) 23:19, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- 105-Man Incident → ? – (Discuss) – The title "105-Man Incident" doesn't translate very well into English. I think this could be a WP:NDESC situation as the English language source by Nagata doesn't label a specific name for the incident. I suggest we move this to a different title. "Sŏnch'ŏn Incident" or "105-men Incident" might work. 00101984hjw (talk) 22:45, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- Marshall Islands–Micronesia relations → Marshall Islands–Federated States of Micronesia relations – (Discuss) – Reverting page move. The Marshall Islands are also in Micronesia, so the title is a bit confusing. Sahaib (talk) 22:29, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- Falck (emergency services company) → Falck (Danish company) – (Discuss) – Better disambiguation to distinguish it from Falck Group. ~2026-48458-82 (talk) 22:19, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- Woodward High School (Cincinnati, Ohio) → Woodward Career Technical High School – (Discuss) – or Woodward High School (Cincinnati). The name written on the big sign in front of the high school and used consistently on its website is "Woodward Career Technical High School". It is also the name used in the opening sentence of the Wikipedia article. Using this name would provide WP:NATURAL disambiguation from the other Woodward High School topics. The only shortening of the name I noticed on the website was "Woodward Career Tech". On the other hand, the article also covers a historic high school called "Woodward High School", and the historic high school seems more notable than the current one, but "Cincinnati" might suffice as a disambiguator for that without needing "Ohio". The current high school is really not the same subject as the historic one. This one was built in a different place, and the historic one was renamed to "Woodward Traditional High School" and kept operating after this one was opened, so it's not really clear that both of them should be discussed in the same article. By the way, we should also think about what to do with List of Woodward High School (Cincinnati, Ohio) people. My suggestion is to not have that merged list as a separate Wikipedia article, instead integrating the list into two different sections that cover people associated with the two different high schools. Actually, if I understand correctly, it's even more complicated than that, consisting of 1) an original historic high school operating from 1831–1953 that then became the Abigail Cutter Junior High School and then became the School for Creative and Performing Arts in 1976, 2) a second high school called "Woodward High School" operating at a different location from 1953–2006 that then became the "Woodward Traditional High School" and was closed in 2008, and 3) a third high school operating from yet another location from 2006–present that is called the "Woodward Career Technical High School". High schools #2 and #3 were operating in parallel at the same time during 2006–2008, when high school #2 was closed. The current high school does not have the same name as the previous ones and is not in the same location as the previous ones, although its name does include "Woodward". Please correct this description if anything I said is wrong. As a matter of historic importance, the original institution is the most important one. — BarrelProof (talk) 21:35, 30 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Balch House (Cincinnati, Ohio) → George Balch House – (Discuss) – Although the NRHP entry for this seems to be at "Balch House", the nomination form identifies this as "George Balch Residence", and the Wikipedia article describes its direct association with George Balch. Similar names are used for the other topics in the Balch House diambiguation page. Using this name would be more WP:CONCISE and provide WP:NATURAL disambiguation. — BarrelProof (talk) 21:00, 30 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting.

- 2026 international electoral calendar → 2026 supranational electoral calendar – (Discuss) – The opposite move was performed with the edit summary “Better suited name because the U.N. isn't considered supranational and making it broader will add more elections other than it being just the E.U.”. But the adjective is being applied to the calendar, not the elections or organizations. It’s true that this is not a “calendar of elections of supranational organizations” – that would be too narrow because that term is mostly used for highly integrated organizations like the EU. But the calendar, as opposed to the organizations, is indeed wikt:supranational: “beyond the borders or scope of any one nation”. To me, an “international electoral calendar” sounds not like a calendar of elections in international organizations, but rather like a calendar of (often national) elections across the world. The article is part of a series of electoral calendars, which have been systematically named “local”, “national” and “supranational” since 2010; see Template:Electoral calendar navigation. So either this move needs to be reverted, or all the other articles in the series will have to be moved, too. (I already moved the 2025 article from “international” to “supranational” before I realized that this might be controversial.) If the risk of confusion with “supranational organizations” is considered too high, we could explore other adjectives, like “transnational” or “global”, or other constructions, like “calendar of international elections”, or “calendar of elections in international organizations” – but I think “supranational electoral calendar” is fine.

- Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation → Konfrontasi – (Discuss) – The name of the conflict in English-language sources is "Konfrontasi". It is a proper noun rather than a mere translation. New Straits Times: 1, 2 The Straits Times: 1, 2 MOS:TIES should be considered as well, this is what the confrontation is called in the Singapore/Malaysia in English-language text, not Malay, Chinese, etc. Outside of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore: *Australian Signals Directorate (Konfrontasi / Confrontation) *National Museum of Australia - while the headline is in Indonesian Confrontation, it also uses Konfrontasi as a descriptor for conflict both in scare quotes and without *The Guardian - "bellicose policy of Konfrontasi". The word confrontation does not appear. *Australian War Memorial - At that time Australia was involved in a conflict generally known by its Indonesian title, Konfrontasi or 'Confrontation" *Konfrontasi : the Indonesia-Malaysia dispute, 1963-1966 / J. A. C. Mackie. *Modern Asian Studies , Volume 57 , Issue 3 , May 2023 , pp. 1004 - 1026 Konfrontasi alone, already refers to the the 1960s tensions involving Indonesia and Malaysia. Like the "Iraq War" refers to the 2003–2011 war. The Hundred Years' War refers to that specific 14th-15th century conflict between France and England. Not 14th-15th century Anglo-French conflict.

- Richard Williamson → Richard Williamson (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – Clear example of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by usage. The bishop routinely gets over 90% of the combined pageviews of all the individuals listed on the current "Richard Williamson" disambiguation page. Furthermore, the bishop's article has much more references (126) than the other "Richard Williamson" articles combined (37 total citations), demonstrating higher media usage and coverage in reliable sources. Wikinav also shows that 100% of the DAB page's outgoing views are to the bishop's article, indicating that readers typing "Richard Williamson" in the search bar are unanimously looking for the bishop.

- White liquor → White liquor (Kraft process) – (Discuss) – Colloquially, at least, "white liquor" refers to clear distilled liquor -- not only moonshine, and definitely not anything involved in the paper-making process. At the very least, this should be a DAB, but IMO it would make more sense to move this article to White liquor (Kraft process) or White liquor (papermaking) and replace it with an article about spirits.

- Robert Leroy Cochran → Roy Cochran (politician) – (Discuss) – per WP:COMMONNAME. Governor Cochran was known as "Roy Cochran," not "Robert Leroy Cochran," "Robert Cochran," or "Robert L. Cochran." A Newspapers.com search for "Robert Leroy Cochran" from 1912 to 1963 (when he first entered public life to his death) shows just 618 results, while "Roy Cochran" shows 54,732 results. That search is definitely too expansive, and undoubtedly includes some false positives, so narrowing it a bit: from 1934 to 1941 (when he ran for Governor to when he left office) shows 19,573 results for "Roy Cochran" and 7,734 results for "Governor Roy Cochran"; 637 results for "Robert Cochran"; and 158 results for "Robert L. Cochran." Thus, as WP:COMMONNAME requires, "Roy Cochran" is
the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources)
. I have proposed the other changes to accommodate this change and to better disambiguate, and I created the disambiguation page further to this proposed move. There will be some cleanup needed after the moves to ensure that links to the current Roy Cochran continue to travel to that page, which I am happy to do if this move is viewed as agreeable. Moreover, if the athlete Roy Cochran is seen as the primary topic, then the disambiguation page shouldn't be moved.

- Rajasthani people → Rajasthani peoples – (Discuss) – I'm the user who moved Rajasthani people to Rajasthani peoples a bit ago. I recently found that this move was reverted in a discussion I was not notified about. While "Rajasthani peoples" plural is not consistent with titles of other articles about singular ethnic groups, it is consistent with articles and categories discussing broader groupings of multiple ethnic groups, i.e. Turkic peoples, Bodo–Kachari peoples, Algonquian peoples, etc, and it was on this basis that I had made the move. This was not discussed in the aforementioned discussion. I will note that the eponymous category is also now being discussed, which is why I've finally gotten around to filing this RM now.

Avoid having templates whose names differ only in case, spacing, or punctuation. - Stefano Rosso → Stefano Rosso (singer-songwriter) – (Discuss) – We also have an article on Stefano Rosso (businessman); there is no primary topic. ~2026-48256-30 (talk) 22:42, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

- Spanish Constitutional Court Ruling on the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia → STC 31/2010 of 28 June – (Discuss) – WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE, a more proper WP:COMMONNAME, and also per MOS:LEGAL (particularly Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Legal#Article titles;
"Articles on cases that are primarily notable for the legal precedent they set, or are primarily discussed within legal scholarship, should be titled according to the legal citation convention for the jurisdiction that handled the case"
). The current title is problematic in that it is not precise enough (there were multiple rulings by the Spanish Constitutional Court Ruling (in 2010) on the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia; for example, SSTC 46/2010, 47/2010, 48/2010, 49/2010, 137/2010 or 138/2010), it is not concise, and it is not really a "common name" but more a generic sentence to refer to the subject. General use in Wikipedia is to title articles on court cases by having the party names separated by "v" or "v.", but legal citation conventions in Spain are very different: court cases are identified by an official combination that includes the ruling identificator ("S" for rulings with a judgement and a verdict), the judicial body ("TC" for the Constitutional Court), the sentence number with the year ([Number]/[Year]), and the date. The ruling that is the subject of this article pertains to the STC 31/2010 of 28 June, which aside of being more precise, also happens to be way more concise than the current title.

- Artificial life → Artificial life (computer science) – (Discuss) – The article's title is too broad to match its subject. This article is about a particular field of study in which life is simulated on computers. It can also refer to Artificial general intelligence, synthetic biology, or life simulation games.

The article is very clearly mirrored after the main tornado that struck Fort Worth. I get that the synopsis goes in depth for the entire outbreak, and I admit this is a confusing case but considering its obvious structure, I think it should be moved.

- The JaneDear girls → The JaneDear Girls – (Discuss) – This is the proper name of a duo. Per MOS:TM, it should be styled with WP:TITLECAPS.

As noted above, independent reliable sources that are cited in the article, including Billboard, do not appear to consistently use the current styling. — BarrelProof (talk) 21:41, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

I would do this as a technical request because Shah Alam Line has more than one revision, but I know article title capitalisation is a contentious topic; I've had experience with that before. Officially, it is capitalised, but secondary sources sometimes capitalise "Line" from what I see: The Star "Line", Railway Gazette "Line" and "line", New Straits Times "line", The Edge Malaysia "line".

- Kitten (film) → Kitty (1968 film) – (Discuss) – It is not something that can possibly have an "official English title". "Кошечка" is a diminutive of "female cat" and not a "kitten" (that would be "Котёнок"), the correct translation would be "Kitty". WP:NCFF says: "Use the title more commonly recognized by English readers", and according to Google Trends, "Kitty" is a bit more used. IMDb uses "Kitten", that's why I request a "potentially controversial move". ~2026-48177-05 (talk) 05:45, 5 September 2026 (UTC)
