Shortcuts

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

  • To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason: 
    {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
  • If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
Note that "Saifai" is unnecessary disambiguation here. 162 etc. (talk) 17:06, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is just like 2 related pages of same society/management, i.e. Bir Bahadur Singh Sports College, Gorakhpur & Guru Gobind Singh Sports College, Lucknow.
If you take any action, please take it on Bir Bahadur Singh Sports College, Gorakhpur & Guru Gobind Singh Sports College, Lucknow too.
Thanks. 14.139.183.119 (talk) 19:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@SheriffIsInTown  On hold for a couple of days, pending response from the admin who had protected the page. @Gimmetrow can you shed some light on the current protection for this page as you had protected the page in March 2009 with indefinite move-protection at the admin level? – robertsky (talk) 04:18, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That being said, a search for both terms indicates that he is referred to by either names in an equal manner and Google Trends favours the longer search term even if it is ever so slightly. – robertsky (talk) 04:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will suggest having a discussion about this as the both name appears to be commonly used (example: Mohamed, Mohammed). Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 05:11, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Robertsky I was specifically talking about Google Books searches, where you mostly find high-quality scholarly sources. The longer version is rarely used in books. While news and web sources might use both versions equally, the shorter version is clearly more common in book sources. Additionally, most Pakistani TV news channels refer to him using the shorter version. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 10:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The assertion that book sources more often use the short name doesn't seem to be borne out by an ngram search: [1]. Moving to Contested, as this definitely needs a discussion, and I'm leaning oppose at present on common name grounds.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:36, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Paradygmaty See WP:OFFICIALNAME. Wikipedia articles are titles based on what the subject is commonly called, not its official name. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 12:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AmorPatiturMoras "Devin Taylor" still appears to be the common name. Even sources as recent as 2021 still use the ring name. C F A 💬 16:55, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
