Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Dabie bandavirus → SFTS virus (currently a redirect back to Dabie bandavirus) (move · ) – Obsolete scientific name to common name. Velayinosu (talk) 02:59, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Ornithocheiridae → Anhangueridae (move · ) – Merge request for Ornithocheiridae and Anhangueridae received support. However, the former page has essentially all of the resulting content whereas the latter is considered the more appropriate title. Therefore, a name swap is required. Ornithocheiridae should be rooted on the current Anhangueridae page as a redirect to the new Anhangueridae. LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 02:46, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thuluva Vellala → Thuluva Vellalar (currently a redirect back to Thuluva Vellala) (move · ) – "Thuluva Vellalar" is the exclusively documented spelling in all reliable sources. "Vellala" is a demonstrable typo/error. Mr.fakepolicy (talk) 18:21, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Avian coronavirus → Infectious bronchitis virus (currently a redirect back to Avian coronavirus) (move · ) – Obsolete scientific name to common name. Velayinosu (talk) 01:36, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
- Ballaarat steam engine → Ballaarat (locomotive) (currently a redirect back to Ballaarat steam engine) (move · ) – standard disambuation method for Category:Individual locomotives of Australia, e.g. Big Ben (locomotive), Spider (locomotive) Soodenleid (talk) 03:35, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Phillip Atiba Goff → Phillip Atiba Solomon title (move · ) – name change of a living person who has voluntarily and publicly changed their own name, citations already added to the existing page documenting the name change and reasons for it Eannaj (talk) 08:19, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Óliver Laxe → Oliver Laxe (currently a redirect back to Óliver Laxe) (move · ) – undiscussed move. All English lang refs in article use Oliver Station1 (talk) 08:45, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Ornament and Crime (album) → Ornament & Crime (currently a redirect instead to Ornament and Crime) (move · ) – The album was phrased with "and" while it was unreleased, but the final cover art and all mentions from the band and record label use "&", making it the official name. Regarding the existing redirect, essay Ornament and Crime already has a hatnote to the album, so the album would simply need one linking back. Popturtle (talk) 22:44, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose: The difference between "and" versus "&" is insufficient disambiguation. I have no objection to Ornament & Crime (album), but I also see no evidence that the album is notable, so I have proposed it for deletion. The deletion discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ornament and Crime (album). — BarrelProof (talk) 23:34, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Pomona High School (Colorado) → Pomona Junior/Senior High School (currently a redirect back to Pomona High School (Colorado)) (move · ) – Pomona High School and Moore Middle school have merged as of the 2024–25 school year, and so the name of the school has changed. When I tried to move it originally, I moved a redirect instead of the main page. Whoops! Geracruzcolusa (talk) 03:48, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- The rationale seems exclusively based on an "official" name, which is not necessarily relevant to Wikipedia article policies & guidelines. At the bottom of the institution's own website https://pomona.jeffcopublicschools.org/, the name is presented as "Pomona High School". I find no instances there of "Junior/Senior", although it has "Jr/Sr" and "Jr./Sr." (one each). I suspect the common name is still "Pomona High School". — BarrelProof (talk) 16:50, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Phoenix Racing (German racing team) → Scherer Sport PHX (currently a redirect back to Phoenix Racing (German racing team)) (move · ) – name change blocked by existing redirect Falcadore (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Falcadore can you provide any sources or add them to the article? Currently the name change in the article is unreferenced, and it isn’t even in the History. -2pou (talk) 17:19, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Draft:Enola Holmes 3 → Enola Holmes 3 (currently a redirect instead to Enola Holmes 2#Future) (move · ) – Filming began in the UK. KingArti (talk) 17:37, 11 April 2025 (UTC) KingArti (talk) 17:37, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Looking at the draft right now, I could've facilitated a move, but I'm contesting this on the count of only seeing 2 sourcings. If you can add at least 5 more of this, this'll be worth a go! Intrisit (talk) 19:48, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- Chief Adviser (Bangladesh) → Chief Adviser of Bangladesh (currently a redirect back to Chief Adviser (Bangladesh)) (move · ) – More specific. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 14:51, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- The move was eight months ago, so just on the cusp of when we'd really consider the new name fully stable. Might be worth a discussion to iron it out once and for all. — Amakuru (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- University Hospital Heidelberg → Heidelberg University Hospital (currently a redirect back to University Hospital Heidelberg) (move · ) – To maintain consistency among all websites. The official name is Heidelberg University Hospital as used on the website Heidelberg University Hospital's Website for International Patients. The current page title could lead to confusion among patients and employees e.g. which name to be used for publications or affiliations User:UK Heidelberg (talk) 08:12, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- The rationale seems exclusively based on an "official" name, which is not necessarily relevant to Wikipedia article policies & guidelines. What exactly does "all websites" mean? Wikipedia is not a website to promote the brand relations of an institution. The nominator is a new single-purpose account that has no edit history other than submitting this request and making one edit of the article about the institution to change its name to the name the editor prefers (without providing an edit summary). The institution's LinkedIn page is entitled "University Hospital Heidelberg (UKHD)". "UK" is apparently an abbreviation for "university hospital" in German (not, e.g., a reference to the United Kingdom). This site also refers to it as "University Hospital Heidelberg". So does this academic paper. However, I do get the impression that "Heidelberg University Hospital" is more common in web search results (although it primarily leads to the institution's own websites). I wonder if there was a recent rebranding – some sites such as this one contain a mixture of the two names, and the other name was used as a URL domain name such as in https://department.university-hospital-heidelberg.com/department-of-cardiology-angiology-and-pneumology. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:50, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Pedro Gibert (footballer) → Pedro Gibert (currently a redirect instead to Pedro Gilbert) (move · ) – There's no need for the extra disambiguation as there's no other article for a subject titled "Pedro Gibert" on Wikipedia. Barr Theo (talk) 23:29, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm... the title is currently a redirect to Pedro Gilbert, with an l. And while that may just appear to be a misspelling, it appears frequently in sources without the l. In fact, during his life he appeared in English book sources much more often without the l and with it - [1]. So this likely isn't as uncontroversial as it seems. — Amakuru (talk) 07:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps that should be handled with a hatnote on the footballer after the move? At the least, Pedro Gibert should be a dab page since the footballer exists. Station1 (talk) 22:02, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Sid Wood (footballer) → Sid Wood (currently a redirect instead to Sidney Wood) (move · ) – There's no need for the extra disambiguation as there's no other article for a subject titled "Sid Wood" on Wikipedia. Barr Theo (talk) 23:23, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- I undid the retargeting of the redirect before realizing that Sid Wood used to redirect to Sidney Wood (tennis) when that article was at the base page name (move log entry), which is now occupied by a dab. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 00:55, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Chandrapur Municipal Corporation → Chandrapur City Municipal Corporation (currently a redirect back to Chandrapur Municipal Corporation) (move · ) – name correction 103.185.174.188 (talk) 18:28, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Contesting - no evidence that WP:NAMECHANGES satisfied, and sources seem to use the current name. — Amakuru (talk) 09:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Aurangabad Municipal Corporation → Chhatrapati Sambhajingar Municipal Corporation (move · ) – name changed, 1, 2 103.185.174.188 (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Contesting - no evidence that WP:NAMECHANGES satisfied, and sources seem to use the current name. — Amakuru (talk) 09:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation → Ahilyanagar Municipal Corporation (currently a redirect back to Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation) (move · ) – name changed, 1, 2 103.185.174.188 (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

- Bangladesh genocide → Bangladeshi genocide (currently a redirect back to Bangladesh genocide) (move · ) – Proper name. Similar to Armenian genocide, Cambodian genocide etc. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 05:47, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- The proposed name is not the WP:COMMONNAME though, and the current one is also more elegant. — Amakuru (talk) 07:35, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Bear River Massacre → Bear River massacre (currently a redirect back to Bear River Massacre) (move · ) – MOS:AT Arctic Circle System (talk) 05:26, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Consistently capped in sources ([2]) see WP:NCCAPS. Cremastra talk 17:15, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Cremastra: Do they single out this event in particular to have the word "massacre" capitalized, or do they do this for all massacres they cover by name? If it is the former, then I would accept this reasoning. If it is the latter, then it likely just indicates a difference in style guidelines rather than any genuine distinction in the event and its coverage from other massacres. Regardless, if someone wants to move this to controversial technical requests or something, feel free to go ahead with that. Arctic Circle System (talk) 20:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Pantheon → Pantheon (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Pantheon) (move · ) – Pantheon should redirect to the article (WP:PRIMARYTOPIC). AimanAbir18plus (talk) 10:22, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Pantheon (religion) → Pantheon (move · ) – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 10:22, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- @AimanAbir18plus These two requests would be controvertial, as there is discussion on the talk page where an editor thought Pantheon, Rome ought to be the primary topic. Bensci54 (talk) 12:18, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Without really digging into it, I am under the assumption that the building in Rome would be primary as well. -2pou (talk) 00:58, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
