June 12, 2024[edit]

Respect and Freedom Party → Tisza Party – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME. This is a case similar to Fidesz, where the acronym is far more used than the complete name. According to Google Trends Tisza is much more popular than the complete name. Moreover, most of the sources use "Tisza Party" or similar: Euronews, Politico, The Guardian, Reuters, BBC, EUobserver. In addition to this, the party itself uses the acronym in its logo and website (magyartisza.hu). Basque mapping (talk) 14:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rallying → Rally (motorsport) – (Discuss) – "Rallying" remains vague, as it can apply in literally every other type of sport "rally" is a term as well as the stock market. It is not an adequate disambiguation. Britannica calls it "rally" [1] so that's what I went with here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Twosret → Tausret – (Discuss) – While looking through sources on this person, it seems as though "Tausret" is actually the most common way of spelling her name. For example, in Google Scholar, "Twosret" gets 155 results,[2] while "Tausret" gets 568.[3] In contrast, of the other possible spellings, "Tawosret" gets 324 results,[4] and "Tausert" gets 396 results.[5] It seems as though "Twosret" is actually the least common way of spelling her name in reliable sources. As "Tausret" appears to be the most common, I am requesting we rename this page to that. Grnrchst (talk) 10:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
June 10th Movement → June Tenth Movement – (Discuss) – There doesn't appear to be a clear WP:COMMONNAME for this event to me. Neither spelling show up on Ngrams, and both have hardly any Google results in English. But I'd make a minor consistency argument: this event is strongly related to the March First Movement, and that page was just moved from "March 1st". Also, this book I'm reading uses "June Tenth" 104.232.119.107 (talk) 08:59, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
European political party → Political party at European level – (Discuss) – More precise; uses the official term; avoids erroneous implied scope of all of Europe's political parties at every geographic level. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 08:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Funding of European political parties → Funding of political parties at European level – (Discuss) – The current title erroneously implies that all political parties in Europe are included. "political parties at European level" is the proper name. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 07:57, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mary Fletcher → Mary Fletcher – (Discuss) – Not the primary topic but will be good when the Mary Fletcher (preacher) is dabbed along the philanthropist at Mary Fletcher. The dab ambiguator Mary Fletcher (disambiguation) page becomes a redirect. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 07:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Railway stations served by c2c → Template:C2c Stations – (Discuss) – Requesting a move to this title to be in line with the naming convention of other railway station templates of TOCs serving Greater London. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 07:26, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dina (disambiguation) → Dina – (Discuss) – Dina is just a redirect to Dina (disambiguation). No incoming links Special:WhatLinksHere/Dina showing some special meanings. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 07:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
List of surviving Boeing B-29 Superfortresses → List of preserved Boeing B-29 Superfortresses – (Discuss) – I would like to make a proposal of this being renamed to List of preserved Boeing B-29 Superfortresses since there could be some B-29s that were preserved but were scrapped during preservation.

Rafah → Rafah, Palestine – (Discuss) – There is a city Rafah in Palestine, but also across the border there is another (kinda) city Rafah in Egypt. Although Rafah, Palestine is more notable currently, both are important cities. Josethewikier (talk) 05:15, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Rafah (disambiguation) → Rafah
Nuseirat refugee camp massacre → Killing of civilians during Nuseirat raid and rescue – (Discuss) – The word "massacre" is listed as a non-neutral term at WP:POVNAMING and should not be used unless it's a WP:COMMONNAME, which it isn't in this case. "Killing of civilians" is perfectly neutral (see WP:KILLINGS) and covers the idea of "massacre" but in a neutral way. Two anticipated objections: *While there is currently a discussion to merge this article, I don't see any consensus there. If consensus does develop to merge/delete this article, then an admin is perfectly capable of closing this RM and redirecting this article. But until then, this article must still follow WP:NPOV. *While Israeli and Palestinian officials dispute how many civilians were killed, the fact that at least some civilians (including children) were killed during the raid is a established fact that RS state in their own voice: **"At the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby town of Deir al-Balah, the dead and wounded arrived in waves — men, women and children." Associate Press **"Many Palestinians, including children, were killed and injured in the area where the operation took place, with images and footage showing a large numbers of casualties." BBC News **"Video in the aftermath of the raid showed charred bodies scattered across streets in Nuseirat, while Palestinians could be seen gathering the remains of those killed. Bloodied children could also be seen arriving at a local hospital". NBC News Finally, the move target should be "Killing of civilians during X", where X is the name decided for 2024 Nuseirat rescue operation article per WP:CONSISTENT. Currently there seems to be a lot of support for moving that article to "Nuseirat raid and rescue". VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 04:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
International reactions to the Israel–Hamas war → Reactions to the Israel–Hamas war – (Discuss) – the word "international" here seems slightly redundant and meaningless. Josethewikier (talk) 04:39, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Vice-President of Malawi → Vice President of Malawi – (Discuss) – that is the official name as per Malawi's government's website at https://www.malawi.gov.mw/index.php/parliament/cabinets# Josethewikier (talk) 04:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Friendly Persuasion (song) → Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love) – (Discuss) – "(Thee I Love)" (in parentheses) is part of this song's official title as confirmed by the Academy Award database. Various English Wikipedia main title headers delineating songs use parenthetical lyric lines — Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do), Dreams (Will Come Alive), Feel the Love (Oomachasaooma), Feels Good (Don't Worry Bout a Thing), Fly (Through the Starry Night), I Do (Wanna Get Close to You), No More (Baby I'ma Do Right), Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be), Quiero Bailar (All Through the Night), Splash 1 (Now I'm Home) — to name but ten. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:17, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

June 11, 2024[edit]

Italian mafia operations in Atlantic City → Organized crime in Atlantic City – (Discuss) – The organized crime committed in Atlantic City has not always been perpetrated solely by Italians, and other ethnic crime groups are indeed mentioned in the article. I believe the proposed title provides a clearer description of the contents of the article. Shaolin Punk (talk) 21:44, 4 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Killarnee (talk) 23:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Slowpoke → Slowpoke (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – No obvious competition for primary topic. Everything else is either a WP:PTM, different per WP:SMALLDETAILS, or has no article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:27, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Slowpoke (Pokémon) → Slowpoke
Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Standards → Wikipedia:Naming conventions (human names) – (Discuss) – This page on a WikiProject has been cited for over a decade as the standard for how to name and disambiguate article titles pertaining to human names. I believe it is finally time to put this page under the "Wikipedia:Naming conventions (...)" umbrella to make it appear as the way we do things around here ... as we seem to have been for ... a good while. Steel1943 (talk) 21:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Urfa sanjak → Urfa Sanjak – (Discuss) – Consistent with other articles on Ottoman sanjaks. See articles within Category:Sanjaks of the Ottoman Empire. Scholarship uses both lowercase and uppercase letters and actually appears to favor uppercase more. Aintabli (talk) 20:23, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Skytruth → SkyTruth – (Discuss) – SkyTruth's actual name is spelled with a capitalized T, similar to WordPress. The page title was updated in 2017 to reflect the actual name, but appears to have been switched back. Attempted to move the page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SkyTruth&redirect=no, but was not permitted. Could you please assist? J armstrong (talk) 19:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Snooker world rankings 1976/1977 → 1976–77 Snooker world rankings – (Discuss) – Historical timeline of relevant discussions: * 2020, January – Move discussion which resulted in snooker season articles being moved from "Snooker season 1970/1971" format to "1970–71 snooker season" format * 2020, January – Move discussion proposing to move the rankings from "Snooker world rankings YYYY/YYYY" to "Snooker world rankings YYYY–YY". It failed due to a lack of consensus and confusion over the best target. * 2022, May – Snooker WikiProject discussion about ranking lists naming conventions * 2022, June – Move discussion which resulted in 4 pages being moved from "Snooker world rankings YYYY/YYYY" to "YYYY–YY snooker world rankings" based on WP:SILENT. Seems to have been confusion about whether to implement this across all pages since not all pages were tagged. Sports seasons are almost always styled with an en-dash on Wikipedia and this would align the season and ranking articles, which really should have been following the same format for years since they're related to one another. Also for consistency with the most recent six ranking articles (see Category:Snooker world rankings). Hey man im josh (talk) 19:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Judicial disqualification → Recusal – (Discuss) – Most common term for this concept, most accurate term for this concept since the article and the idea is not limited to justices, and 4/4 editors on talk page so far agree Superb Owl (talk) 22:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). --Ahecht (talk) 17:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NewLabour Party (New Zealand) → NewLabour Party – (Discuss) – This was requested ~7 years ago and no consensus was reached. I think it's been enough time to request a new move. WP:SMALLDETAILS was practically created for this type of situation: The general approach is that whatever readers might type in the search box, they are guided as swiftly as possible to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for, by such disambiguation techniques as hatnotes and/or disambiguation pages. When such navigation aids are in place, small details are often sufficient to distinguish topics, e.g. MAVEN vs. Maven; Airplane! vs. Airplane; Sea-Monkeys vs. SeaMonkey; The Wörld Is Yours vs. other topics listed at The World Is Yours. The lack of a space between 'New' and 'Labour' seems more than sufficient enough to distinguish this page from other similar titles. Loytra (talk) 15:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

The Three Ages of Man and Death → The Ages and Death – (Discuss) – The article seems to call it "the three ages of woman and death".

Al-Sardi school attack → Al-Sardi school airstrike – (Discuss) – For starters, the attack itself was an airstrike, so it would be a more precise name. Secondly, there seems to be a lot of sources not saying “attack”, but rather “strike” as in airstrike. #Associated Press — “Israeli strike” #BBC — “Israeli strike on UN school” #The Guardian — “Israeli strike on UN school” #ABC News — “Israeli strike on UNRWA school” #CBS News — “Israel says deadly strike on Gaza school” #CNN — “Israel strike on UN school” #The Washington Post — “Israel used U.S. munition in deadly strike on U.N. school” #UN News — “Israeli airstrike on UNRWA school in Gaza” #Reuters — “Israeli strike on UN school” #Australian Broadcasting Corporation — “Israeli strike kills” #Fox News — “IDF says terrorists hiding in UN school killed in strike”…”The predawn strike hit the al-Sardi School run by UNRWA” Even clear-bias sides note “strike”: #Al Jazeera (pro-Hamas) — “Israeli airstrikes on UN-run school” #Times of Israel (pro-Israel) — “IDF strikes UN school in central Gaza” So, I propose and support a renaming of this article to “Al-Sardi school airstrike” to more closely match RS and common naming/description of the event.

Se-tenant (philately) → Se-tenant – (Discuss) – I am not at all sure that "se-tenant" has the mentioned second meaning; I sospect the creator browsed the internets and got confused with the term "pro se tenant". In any case, per WP:MOSDAB, philately is the primary meaning, and the second one (if any) should be introduced via a hatnote. - Altenmann >talk 06:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC) - Altenmann >talk 06:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Horizon: An American Saga → Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 – (Discuss) – As discussed ad nauseum in various sections of this article, the Horizon: An American Saga film series is four distinct movies. As-is the current article is confusing to the average reader at best, and very messy as well. Costner has described the film series as four movies in each of his interviews. There are numerous examples of this with Atlanta News First and Fox 5 Atlanta here as just two examples. As discussed by other editors, the current article needs to be for the first installment while other individual pages can/should be created for its sequels. There is a film series draft currently being worked on, which has been worked on as far back as 2022. DisneyMetalhead (talk) 02:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Brighton hotel bombing → Brighton bomb – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Sources overwhelmingly use the name ‘the Brighton bomb’ to deal with this event.

Typhoon Melor (2009) → Typhoon Melor and October 2009 North American storm complex – (Discuss) – Long title, but I believe both events should be in the same article, as neither story can be told without the other. Melor is notable enough for its own article - it caused $1.5 billion in damage and struck Japan as a typhoon. That same storm fueled a powerful pineapple express that affected North America. So much of the met history is shared between the two events, not to mention, Melor's article discusses the North American impacts.

Justice Hall → Justice Hall (novel) – (Discuss) – This is one of those rare cases, I think, where a specific work is obscure enough that the name-and-title combination of numerous historical figures known as "Justice Hall" would overtake it in terms of historical importance. Move this title so that Justice Hall (disambiguation) can be moved here. BD2412 T 16:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Justice Hall (disambiguation) → Justice Hall
Internment → Concentration camp – (Discuss) – This page has a euphemistic and policy-violating title. I arrived here after being redirected from "concentration camp", and that should be the title for a number of very clear reasons. First, internment" is not a synonym for "concentration camp"; that would be "internment camp", so we do not even have the full euphemism here, but an incomplete euphemism: "internment" alone is in not a synonym for "concentration camp"; just a term for the condition of being interred, anywhere. As a standalone word, this cannot title a page about camps; it would only be appropriate for a broad concept article about the conditions of being interred, but that would overlap with imprisonment ... so "internment" has no place here, per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Next, onto the fundamental issue of euphemism. This is readily demonstrated in sources. Concentration camps have had a great many different euphemisms attached to them throughout history, none of them tolerable or encyclopedic. It is worth noting that Wikipedia has lapsed relative to Britannica, which has not erred or minced its words. The presence of Britannica relative to the absence of Wikipedia on this topic is immediately noticeable upon a browser search. Meanwhile, in source such as this, "internment camps" and "internment" are terms that are specifically singled out as forming part of a system of euphemistic terms used in place of "concentration camps", with others being "assembly center" and "relocation center". MOS:EUPHEMISM must be applied, and this disreputable stain on the project addressed. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fallout (disambiguation) → Fallout – (Discuss) – the Fallout redirect is to be deleted to make way for the move. – I am here after finding this disambiguation page on top of Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Popular pages for April '24 with ~2.8 million views, which is a bit too much to ignore. Page history shows this was moved based on Special:WhatLinksHere/Fallout (which is an indication of editor behavior, not necessarily reader behavior, and WP:RF), and anonymous users tried to move it twice now (but a long time ago). https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Nuclear_fallout for April shows the by far the most popular outgoing clickstreams from there are to the hatnotes, outpacing the next identifiable clickstream by orders of magnitude. Honestly the main reason I'm even raising a discussion here instead of just moving this is that nobody seemed to complain since 2010. This seems to imply that either navigation was fine, or that the threshold for modifying it was too high. Page view statistics for the popular topics indicate the latest spike is because of the recent reader interest in the TV series. This latest thing also being based on the franchise in turn contributes to the notion that the long-term significance of the franchise isn't ignorable compared to that of nuclear fallout. --Joy (talk) 20:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

December 2021 Midwest derecho and tornado outbreak → Tornado outbreak and derecho of December 15–16, 2021 – (Discuss) – Standardize and align per other such articles with a tornado outbreak and derecho combo, such as Tornado outbreak and derecho of April 1–3, 2024 and Derecho and tornado outbreak of April 4–5, 2011. I originally moved it to this boldly, but then @United States Man: reverted it with no explanation. This shouldn’t even be an issue yet here we are because apparently BOLD isn’t a thing anymore I guess. Additionally this title fits far better because it distinguishes the title from the previous outbreak just a few days prior. The current title has no date range which some can confuse some with the other outbreak. MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 02:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Protestant Church in Germany → Evangelical Church in Germany – (Discuss) – Both terms (in English) are used by the EKD itself, but Evangelical is the more common, more accurate term. Etymologically, evangelical/evangelische refers to the gospel (εὐαγγέλιον), while Protestant refers to the Protestation at Speyer. It is not true that "Evangelical" is the former name (see EKD en homepage), and it is also untrue that the term "Evangelical" strictly or primarily refers to the Evangelical/Mainline divide among American denominations. The onus must be on those preferring "Protestant" to demonstrate such a shift in meaning, and I do not feel that prior discussion participants have succeeded. If we are worried that the reader would make this false association, it could easily be cleared up in the body of the article. Survey of use: Ngram, World Council of Churches, Britannica. The lead could read, for example: "the Evangelical Church in Germany, (also called the Protestant Church in Germany)" Dirkwillems (talk) 17:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits!

Mokai Tramway → Taupo Totara Timber Company Railway – (Discuss) – The proposed title makes this article easier to find. Many readers will have heard of the "TTT", the tourist town of Taupo, or Lake Taupo. Few people will be familiar with the sawmilling village of Mokai, which today has only a few houses and a marae. The name also distinguishes the main Putaruru to Mokai line from the bush tramways radiating from Mokai. Many of these tramways were accessible only to selected TTT Railway rolling stock. In contrast, all TTT locomotives including the Mallet and the four-wheeled locos were able to run through to Mokai, where the company had its main mechanical workshop. The proposed new title also distinguishes the TTT Railway from the Kinleith Branch, which covered only part of the route and was built on formation that was largely new. (The original TTT formation north of Tokoroa is still visible in some places). I have a large collection of source material on the railway and the company and I hope to add more info and true primary citations as time permits. I will also propose that a separate page be set up covering the TTT company itself Kbwc56 (talk) 00:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits!

Khanqah → Sufi lodge – (Discuss) – Per WP:USEENGLISH and for a more inclusive title that reduces confusion. Recapping what was discussed in the thread above:
Until now, this article has been the main overview article for Sufi religious institutions/venues. There are various terms used in Arabic/Persian/Turkish/etc for this type of institution, with the choice varying roughly by region. This is explained in the article already ("Etymology" section) and also conveniently in the equivalent entry of the Encyclopedia of Islam, Three ([9]): ::
Khānaqāh (or khānqāh) is a Persian word for the place where Muslim mystics gather. It was, and still is, used mainly in Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, western China, and the Indian subcontinent. Other terms were more common elsewhere, such as zāwiya in Arab lands, Africa, and Indonesia, and tekke in Turkey and the Balkans. All these terms are often interchangeable. Usually translated as “Ṣūfī lodge” (rather than “convent”) in English, the khānaqāh is a room or an establishment where Ṣūfīs assemble around a spiritual master to perform rituals (often by night or in darkness) and to share meals, to communicate with one another, and to follow spiritual teachings.
While the term "khanqah" is one of the most common terms for this type of place, it is not used in all regions, and in some regions the different terms may also have slightly different meanings. This has led to confusion on more than one occasion over this article's scope, over which title editors should link in other articles, etc. Changing to an English term, which is more generic, would avoid this problem and make the title a little more neutral, in addition to being easier for unfamiliar English readers. As the source above indicates, "Sufi lodge" is the favored English term. An ngram of the most common English variants seems to confirm this. The various non-English terms should redirect here (as most already do) or, where appropriate, can be turned into subtopic articles for more specific types of Sufi institutions or for specific regions (e.g. like Zawiya (institution), Dargah).

Ddakji → Ttakji – (Discuss) – "Ttakji" abides by Revised Romanization of Korean ("RR"). I dislike "ddakji" because it's not a valid spelling in neither of the two major romanization systems: RR and McCune–Reischauer ("MR"). I'd argue there is no WP:COMMONNAME. Neither spellings show up in Ngrams. "Ddakji" is ever slightly more popular in news articles than the more correct "ttakji" in some simple Google searches, but it's like 48 vs 9 articles from mostly low quality pop culture sources; hardly a consensus I'd argue. By contrast, the Encyclopedia of Korean Folk Culture [10], uses "ttakji", and so does Korea.net [11]. I'm admittedly a little bothered by the power that Wikipedia has on language, and that if we keep this "incorrect" spelling on Wikipedia it'll make it even more popular. Romanization of Korean is already beset with inconsistent spellings and I dislike the thought of making the problem worse. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 01:51, 3 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Small form factor (desktop and motherboard) → Small form factor – (Discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguator. Small form factor redirects here. There had been an attempt to make a disambiguation page there, but that was a totally non-MOS:DAB-compliant page, and there is no meaningful ambiguity (permalink). The term "small form factor" can be colloquially used to refer to sizes of other types of hardware (for example, SD cards, but that is incorrect because their form factors are "full", "mini", and "micro", there is no "smallSD") but that is sporadic. The phrase appears in the name of a particular format: Small Form-factor Pluggable. Of course, there existing a page "Small Form-factor Pluggable" does not indicate that the page "Small form factor" needs to be disambiguated as the two titles are not co-ambiguous. —Alalch E. 11:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

I agree that there are some English-language sources that spell it Zürich, but they are either those that consistently prefer localised spelling (Düsseldorf, Łódź, or Hồ Chí Minh City; BBC and Britannica often fall here), or those that follow Wikipedia.

However, it is only used 14 times (and at least one of those is not a real transclusion which would need fixing); we can always bypass the redirects in those 13 pages.

Isaac Charles Parker → Isaac C. Parker – (Discuss) – These articles were both moved to their current location back in August 2020, from "Isaac Parker" (which has since become a dab page) and "Isaac T. Parker" respectively (the latter move probably for consistency), by the same user (Hhfjbaker, hereby notified). In many of the articles linking to these two Isaac Parkers, the links are piped like [[Isaac Charles Parker|Isaac Parker]] and [[Isaac Thomas Parker|Isaac Parker]] respectively, which leads me to believe that both men went by just "Isaac Parker". Now, per WP:MIDDLENAME ("Adding given names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (if that format of the name is not commonly used to refer to the person) is not advised."), we're not supposed to use middle names/initials to disambiguate unless the middle name(s)/initial(s) is part of the WP:COMMONNAME. So, what is their WP:COMMONNAME? Given the piping pattern above, I'm inclined to believe that it's "Isaac Parker" for both men. I'm open to the idea that former (the "Hanging Judge") is the WP:PRIMARY, but I'll go for disambiguators for both articles for now. Note: Older sources often refer to people using their full name, but that was their way of disambiguating people. Should we follow that, or should we treat each on a case-by-case basis?

Yoruba (disambiguation) → Yoruba – (Discuss) – Two years and four months ago, an editor boldly moved the disambiguation page 'Yoruba' to 'Yoruba (disambiguation)' and then retargeted that page to 'Yoruba people' shortly after, without explaining their reason behind that page move or adding an edit summary afterwards, 10 and a half months later, another now indefinitely blocked sockpuppet editor retargeted the redirect page 'Yoruba' from 'Yoruba people' to 'Yoruba (disambiguation)', and 14 hours later, another user reverted that edit and then explained to them that it was an undiscussed change of WP:PT, and then suggested to them that they open an WP:RFD instead, so that's why I've made a move request here instead. Anyway, the reason I'm requesting for this disambiguation page to be moved back to its previous title is per WP:DISAMBIG, WP:NCLANG and WP:NCET; because there are also other topics with the name 'Yoruba' in their titles besides 'Yoruba people', such as 'Yoruba language', 'Yoruba alphabet', 'Yoruba architecture', 'Yoruba art', 'Yoruba calendar', 'Yoruba country', 'Yoruba cuisine', 'Yoruba culture', 'Yoruba demon', 'Yoruba literature', 'Yoruba music', 'Yoruba name', 'Yoruba national football team', 'Yoruba numerals', 'Yoruba people', 'Yoruba people in the Atlantic slave trade', 'Yoruba religion', 'Yoruba tribal marks', 'Yoruba women's clothing', 'Yorubaland', 'Yoruba (spider)', 'Yoruba Academy', 'Yoruba Americans', 'Yoruba Andabo', 'Yoruba Canadians', 'Yoruba Football Federation', 'Yoruba Girl Dancing', 'Yoruba Name Project', 'Yoruba Pinto', 'Yoruba Revolutionary Wars', 'Yoruba Richen', 'Yoruba Sign Language', and 'Yoruba Tennis Club', and to revert that previous unexplained bold move.

ICC Men's T20 World Cup → T20 World Cup – (Discuss) – This is not the first time this move has been requested. However, unfortunately, people give contrasting opinions for the same thing on different pages. The "ICC" does not need to be on tournament pages, and a mens/womens contrast is not needed. Please see the following - * These are clearly the WP:COMMONNAMES. Given Wikipedia doesn't have ICC or Men's on Cricket World Cup article, don't think it's necessary on other articles as well. * According to International cricket in 2024 (and other seasons as well); it says women's tournaments but, doesn't say men's tournaments. Furthermore, women cricket formats are WTest, WODI and WT20I but men's cricket formats are just Test, ODI and T20I not MTest, MODI and MT20I. We don't need the gender differentiations in men's events as they are the main events and should only have a hatnote about it. While, women's events should have the term "women's" given the historical significance of men's events. * According to WP:OFFICIALNAME and as I mentioned - WP:COMMONNAME, We don't use the official names here; we use common names which might differ from the names published by ICC.

Sverker I of Sweden → Sverker the Elder – (Discuss) – The territorial designation should be removed per WP:CONCISE and WP:NCROY. There is no risk of confusion since the name is unique to Swedish kings. The possible pairs of titles are then either Sverker I and Sverker II, or Sverker the Elder and Sverker the Younger. I am suggesting to use Elder/Younger forms here for aesthetic reasons, but I am also fine with Sverker I and Sverker II, as they seem to be equally common in literature.

Fraser Island → K'gari – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NAMECHANGES. While this is a contentious topic and it has been just under a year since the most recent move request, I believe it is time to finally make this change. Since the island was officially renamed to K'gari in June 2023 the new name has been overwhelmingly used in sources that talk about the island. I have manually assessed each result in a google news search for both names since the change took place (there have been a lot of dingo attacks...). Of the 353 results, 317 primarily use the name K'gari, and a further 30 either use a dual name or use K'gari equally with Fraser Island. Only 6 sources used Fraser Island on its own, indicating a clear preference for the new name in news sources posted after the name has been changed. Crucially, the preference for the new name is strong across all sources, and in international examples - it's not just one or two outlets frequently posting and skewing the results. Many of the articles do mention that Fraser Island is the former name, but this is typically a passing reference in an article that otherwise demonstrates a preference for K'gari. I also manually assessed google scholar results for this year, and after filtering out a lot of false positives, duplicates, and sources which only had the names used as part of the references (mostly Google getting caught out by authors named K. Gari) I was left with 42 articles. Interestingly, an equal number used K'gari as used Fraser Island (15 each), with 7 either using a dual name or using the names an equal amount. However, the majority of articles were passing references which used the island as a navigational point (eg. "the coast north of K'gari") or as one of several locations (eg. "Specimens were found in the Blue Mountains, the Whitsundays, and Fraser Island"). Articles which focused primarily on the island itself tended to use K'gari, with the total count of references for each name across the academic sources coming in with K'gari at 230 vs. Fraser Island at 69 - again, indicating a stronger usage of the new name. WP:NAMECHANGES states that If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match. The above unambiguously demonstrates that sources written after the change routinely use the new name, and make a strong case that the WP:COMMONNAME of the island is now K'gari - which we should reflect. The most recent move closure saw that usage had shifted and there were grounds to move as of July 2023, but that scholar sources still used Fraser Island predominantly. This has now shifted, with usage even stronger in favour of K'gari. I would also note (as I have seen it come up in previous moves) that the sources used in this are reliable, English sources - WP:USEENGLISH states that we should use the name used in English sources, not that the name needs to be English in origin. As such, the proposed title is still compliant with that. Turnagra (talk) 04:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022 Armenia–Azerbaijan clashes → September 2022 Azerbaijani attack on Armenia – (Discuss) – I have not seen a single reliable source saying that Armenia attacked Azerbaijan. But multiple reliable sources say the opposite. Various sources describe the events as an “invasion”, “offensive”, “attack”, or “assault.” There is consensus that Azerbaijan was the one who initiated the hostilities. Some talk about “Azerbaijan’s Invasion of Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Offensive on Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Attack on Armenia”, but they all agree on one thing: Azerbaijan was the initiator of the clash, and it was Azerbaijan who attacked. Therefore, the title “Attack of Azerbaijan on Armenia” perfectly reflects the vast majority of reliable sources and is the least ambiguous. I will provide the overwhelming evidence below: * Human Rights Watch: :“The killings took place during fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces that broke out in mid-September, when Azerbaijan made incursions into Armenia...” * Genocide Watch: :“Azerbaijani military attacks on Armenian territory show Azerbaijani disregard for Armenian sovereignty.” * Freedom House: :“Freedom House Condemns Azerbaijani Attacks on Armenia” :“The Azerbaijani armed forces must immediately cease their deadly attacks on Armenian territory” * Axel Gehring, Ph.D., political scientist and expert in the field of foreign and security policy and researcher at the Institute for Critical Social Analysis of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Berlin: :“On September 13, regular Azerbaijani troops launched a large-scale attack on Armenian territory. This attack took tensions between the countries to a new level.” * Laurence Broers is a specialist in conflicts in the Transcaucasus, founder of the scientific journal Caucasus Survey: :"Azerbaijan's recent attack seeks to enforce terms in negotiations with Armenia" “ The recent large-scale cross-border attacks inside Armenia by Azerbaijan...” * Maximilian Hess, Research Fellow for Central Asia at the Foreign Policy Institute, in Foreign Policy magazine: :“Azerbaijani forces who marched into Armenia continue to occupy part of its territory, in particular heights around the town of Jermuk.” * David L. Phillips, conflict analyst in The National Interest: :“The United States criticized Azerbaijan's recent attacks on Armenia proper” * European Parliament Resolution: :“Strongly condemns the latest military aggression by Azerbaijan on September 12, 2022 on the sovereign territory of Armenia” :“calls on the Azerbaijani authorities, therefore, to immediately withdraw from all parts of the territory of Armenia “ * Wojciech Gorecki, senior researcher at the Department of Turkey, Caucasus and Central Asia: :“in September 2022 Azerbaijan attacked targets located on Armenian territory.” * The Guardian: : “This week, with attention focused across the Black Sea in Ukraine, fighting on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia killed about 100 troops after Azerbaijan shelled a number of towns in Armenia, with both sides accusing each other of “provocations”.” * Der Spiegel: : “Peace negotiations mediated by the European Union have been at an impasse since Baku also attacked territory in the Republic of Armenia in September 2022.” * TIME: : “...democratic nation that was recently invaded by its authoritarian neighbor” : “...but also Armenia, which has been suffering from Azerbaijan's invasion for almost three weeks now.” * BBC: : “I don’t think anyone doubts that Azerbaijan started this operation on the territory of Armenia. Even Azerbaijani commentators admit this. Armenia is currently weak, has little interest in disrupting the status quo.” * Eurasianet :"Azerbaijan launches large-scale attacks on Armenia" :“Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack on targets in Armenia, an unprecedented expansion of the long-running conflict into Armenian territory.” * Michael Rubin, senior researcher at AIP: :“Last week, Azerbaijan attacked Armenia proper. (Last week Azerbaijan attacked Armenia directly)” * Paul Stronski is a senior fellow in the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Programs, specializing in Russia and the South Caucasus: : “..the fact that Russia is preoccupied, certainly led to what looks like an Azerbaijani offensive at this time” : “And what we even saw just in the last few days is actually attacks inside and shelling inside cities inside Armenia, not just along the border." * Kapil Komireddy, political columnist for The Telegraph: : “But so little about Azerbaijan's attack, which goes beyond the disputed territory of Karabakh and targets Armenia proper.” *Seth Franzman, Middle East analyst for The Jerusalem Post , contributor to Defense News, The National Interest and Digest of Middle East Studies: :“Attacks on Armenia represent dangerous escalation” *Carnegie Europe: :“Nearly 300 soldiers died in a large-scale Azerbaijani incursion into the territory of Armenia on September 13-14.” Vanezi (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Chang Hsueh-liang → Zhang Xueliang – (Discuss) – TL;DR: According to WP:NCZH, pinyin should be preferred unless a "customary transliteration or anglicization is more common". "Chang Hsueh-liang" is significantly less common in modern, reliable sources, so Zhang Xueliang should be used. None of the reasons in given 2020 to move this page to WG outweigh the importance of using the WP:COMMONNAME. Also, it doesn't seem like the 2020 move discussion was properly closed by an admin. * "He never used Zhang Xueliang during his life": It is quite common to call historical figures by a name they never used. Averroes is known by a name he received from Medieval Christians. Shakespeare never signed his own name with the spelling that we use today. And historians rarely stick to the unsystematized spellings of Chinese names used in the 1800s, even though they were the only romanized names their subjects knew. There are many valid reasons that historians would choose to do this (I'm sure you can think of plenty). It's not Wikipedia's job to second-guess this decision, just to reflect the consensus. *"Sun Yat-sen uses a non-Pinyin spelling": Yes, because the majority of historians continue to spell it that way. If English-speaking historians started calling him Sun Zhongshan, then so would Wikipedia. *"He was a citizen of the ROC/never a citizen of the PRC": There's no hard rule that Wikipedia can't use pinyin to romanize ROC names, or that pinyin can only be used for PRC names. We only treat WG as the default romanization of ROC names in the absence of evidence for a different WP:COMMONNAME. For example, many Taiwanese celebrities are better known in English by an English first name and WG last name, and are referred to as such on Wikipedia. Because there is strong evidence that Zhang Xueliang is the WP:COMMONNAME, his national... affiliation(?) is irrelevant. *"Most of his English-language obituaries used his WG name" This would be strong evidence that Chang Hsueh-liang is the WP:COMMONNAME, expect for the fact that Zhang died in 2001, when many newspapers still used WG for all Chinese names. Take the Guardian obit as an example: it's talking about "Chou Enlai" and "the Sian Incident"! Since 2001, almost all major Enlgish-language publications have come around to preferring pinyin for Chinese historical figures, and this is reflected in the articles mentioning Zhang that have appeared since, such as: [36], [37], [38]. Let's review the evidence that Zhang Xueliang is the WP:COMMONNAME: * Google ngrams shows that Zhang has been more common for over two decades, and the gap is widening * There are a number of recent books that deal heavily with Zhang; almost all use pinyin for his name: ** Zhang Xueliang: The General Who Never Fought (2012) ** The Making of China’s War with Japan: Zhou Enlai and Zhang Xueliang (2016) ** War and Geopolitics in Interwar Manchuria: Zhang Zuolin and the Fengtian Clique During the Northern Expedition (2017) ** The only exception I know of is The 1929 Sino-Soviet War: The War Nobody Knew (2021), but that work shuns pinyin entirely. In my opinion, this makes a clear case to move this page to Zhang Xueliang. SilverStar54 (talk) 23:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

90377 Sedna → Sedna (dwarf planet) – (Discuss) – As per:
1. WP:COMMONNAME – these objects are frequently referred to as dwarf planets and other similar labels in popular communications ([39] [40] [41] [42] [43])
2. WP:CONSISTENT – consistency with other dwarf planet articles (e.g. Pluto and Eris (dwarf planet))
3. – Sedna (dwarf planet), Gonggong (dwarf planet), and Quaoar each exist and already redirect to their respective primary articles
4. – To reflect astronomical consensus (see List of possible dwarf planets#Likeliest dwarf planets). Per consensus, they are all universally referred to as dwarf planets in relevant Wikipedia articles (e.g. Solar System#Trans-Neptunian region, Dwarf planet, and Wikipedia:Featured topics/Dwarf planets). In particular, recent observation establishes these three as self-differentiated planetary objects ([44] [45]). It should be noted that although these dwarf planets are not a part of the "official" IAU roster of dwarf planets, the IAU has been known to align with astronomical consensus in reports (e.g. this report[46] about Quaoar's rings) Finally, I am not listing 90482 Orcus as there was a recent discussion over whether astronomical consensus considered it a dwarf planet. Though it is indeed demonstrably a "consensus" dwarf planet, it likely warrants its own separate move discussion. ArkHyena (talk) 20:27, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sloboda → Sloboda (settlement) – (Discuss) – This word means "freedom" in the original Slavic languages, and while there is a significant usage in Russian and Ukrainian history as well as some usage in modern-day Russian administrative divisions, described at this presumed primary topic, its usage and long-term significance does not actually overshadow the ambiguity over the other uses of the word for the average English reader. In preparation for this move, I went through the list of ~200 incoming links to preemptively disambiguate them. The usage is typically clerical, to explain the strange term, which is most commonly placed in italics. This indicates that the fact that the explanation was directly at "sloboda" was a very easy way to get the etymological explanation. However, that's a possible description of editor behavior, which is not necessarily the reader behavior (WP:RF). It should also be noted that Russian toponymy lists are quite weird from the perspective of a navigation purpose for set indices, with an apparent habit of linking these kinds of terms contrary to what MOS:DABONE would advise. It's not that I'm opposed to having a link somewhere in such a set index to explain the term, but the volume of this skews the statistics. After going through the list, I was left with 19 links (~10%) where I couldn't identify a clear connection to this particular subject. Mostly they seemed to be generic references to the Slavic word for "freedom". This also extended to Russian topics. Some were references to specific places named Sloboda, not the concept. I had also disambiguated numerous others by linking Foobar Svoboda instead of keeping a largely useless partial link (sadly I didn't keep a count of these to be able to note the percentage). A search in Google Books for me does not identify this meaning to be primary - I get more references to people named this way. Likewise for Google Scholar. I don't have reason to believe that this would differ for the average English reader. WikiNav for Sloboda and meta:Research:Wikipedia clickstream archive indicate that the hatnote is consistently one of the most commonly clicked links on the page - even in months where we see a larger readership, it's still among the most commonly clicked links (for example in March '24, with 162 clickstreams to 9 identified destinations, the hatnote was #3 with 17). This is typically indicative of a navigation issue. Another editor reverted the initial preparatory move, thinking this broke links (it did not) and saying this changes a 'long established' status quo - I don't see an actual rationale there. Just because this grew organically as is - doesn't mean it's not subject to evaluation and adjustment. In addition, similar terms like svoboda and swoboda are not short-circuiting here and are indeed disambiguated, so this change would seem to make things more consistent.

Russian Orthodoxy → Slavic Orthodox churches – (Discuss) – I am copying from a previous comment of mine in this very talk page: "As stated in its first sentence, this article deals with "body of several churches within the larger communion of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, whose liturgy is or was traditionally conducted in Church Slavonic language". This grouping of local Churches that use the Church Slavonic is presented as comprising "Russian Orthodoxy". I think this is a misnomer. Please by all means do correct me if I am wrong, but not even one of the sources currently existing in the article use "Russian Orthodoxy" as a term that denotes the Eastern Orthodox Churches that use the Church Slavonic. On the contrary, "Russian Orthodoxy" is a term (unsurprisingly) used to denote the Eastern Orthodox presence in Russia, while, on the other hand, there are quite a few secondary scholarly sources that present the churches using Church Slavonic not as "Russian Orthodoxy", but as "Slavic Orthodox" (and quite reasonably, if I may say so)." I've quoted some cases of scholarly sources discussing the Slavic Orthodox churches in my previous comment, which I am not copying here to save space, but please do consult them above.

Emirate of Sicily → Muslim Sicily – (Discuss) – For two main reasons: * I don't see any evidence that "Emirate of Sicily" is the WP:COMMONNAME here. Ngram suggests that something like "Muslim Sicily" is far more common. The article itself also makes little effort to explain this term and seems to use it only haphazardly. * This article describes the entire period of Arab-Muslim rule in Sicily, and for a large part of that period its status was not an independent emirate, as the article itself indicates. In this context, the title "Emirate of Sicily" is unclear and awkward. "Muslim Sicily" (or equivalent) is simpler, more descriptive, and more neutral with regard to its changing political status. ** Note that we also have an article about the Kalbid dynasty, which should cover the period when the island was indeed de facto independent (after the mid-10th century^[1]) and when it can be more accurately described as an emirate (e.g. per EI2^[2]).

See Google Ngram results. Wu'er Kaixi and Uerkesh Davlet are both used by organisations he is affiliated with, but the former has more mentions in reliable English-language sources.

Judge Judy → ? – (Discuss) – "Judge Judy" primarily refers to the host of the court show herself, Judy Sheindlin, per articles such as The New York Times here, Fox Business, and Fortune. The court show she hosted should be disambiguated and "Judge Judy" should redirect to Judy Sheindlin. cookie monster 755 02:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dragon Pool Temple → Yonghwasa – (Discuss) – Doesn't appear to be the WP:COMMONNAME, and doesn't abide by WP:NCKO's guidance on temples. Google "dragon pool temple" and "jeju" in quotes using direct matching; no results. The new name I'm proposing is just the transliteration of the Korean name. This name is anecdotally used on this page [49] in the Encyclopedia of Korean Local Culture. I can't access the book being referenced, but even if it does use this name, I'm skeptical that that single book can dictate the common name. Probably safer to default to WP:NCKO. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 01:58, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parachromis managuensis → Jaguar cichlid – (Discuss) – So, the last time a name change for this article has been discussed was back in 2007 (see "article title" up above). This article used to be named "Managuense cichlid," but was later changed to the Latin name and current title, Parachromis managuensis, on the basis that it was the least ambiguous epithet for the species. Which is true. Latin names are almost always less ambiguous than vernacular names, but they're almost never as concise or recognizable - for the same reason we have articles named Great white shark and Largemouth bass rather than Carcharodon carcharias and Micropterus salmoides, I'm going to propose that this article be renamed to Jaguar cichlid. For the WP:CRITERIA of recognizability and naturalness, I present the Google Search results for the names listed in the article's lede (in order from most hits to least): * "jaguar cichlid": ~93,700 results * "parachromis managuensis": ~40,900 results * "jaguar guapote": ~9,680 results * "managuense cichlid": ~8,720 results * "guapote tigre": ~8,640 results * "aztec cichlid": ~4,090 results * "managua cichlid": ~1,470 results * "spotted guapote": ~812 results "Jaguar cichlid" is more than twice as prevalent on the web as the Latin name. It's nearly a full order of magnitude more prevalent than the next most popular vernacular name, "jaguar guapote" - and if that's where we draw the line, then names like "managuense cichlid" and "guapote tigre" aren't even in the running. This is supported by Google Trends, which shows that on average, "jaguar cichlid" is searched for 47 times more than "parachromis managuensis" and "managuense cichlid" worldwide. We should name the article accordingly. Simple as. Kodiak Blackjack (talk) • (contribs) 00:06, 13 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 11:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Hit-Girl & Kick-Ass → Kick-Ass (comic book) – (Discuss) – Series is most commonly known as "Kick-Ass". Even the original "Hit-Girl" miniseries was collected under a "Kick-Ass" title. Mark Millar's official web site mentions "Kick-Ass", but not "Hit-Girl". 2002:620D:3AF:0:F89C:267A:F5A2:2C10 (talk) 22:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mind control (disambiguation) → Mind control – (Discuss) – Mind control does not necessarily refer to brainwashing, which is specifically referring to a concept of semi-permanent mental manipulation. It can also fall under the banner of hypnosis, a temporary form of mind control, whether in reality or using fictional powers to do so and Manipulation (psychology), secretly messing with someone's mind. It can even include Brain–computer interface, controlling a computer with one's mind. Therefore, there is no clear primary topic for this term and it should not be a primary redirect. (As an addendum; the target page has history, so if the move goes through, it should probably be moved to something that still redirects to brainwashing) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:06, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sexual and gender-based violence in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel → Sexual violence in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel – (Discuss) – Gender-based violence is defined as "any type of harm that is perpetrated against a person or group of people because of their factual or perceived sex, gender, sexual orientation and/or gender identity".^[3] It is not currently clear that this article deals with any such violence other than that of a sexual nature, and even then, the lede states that male Israelis were also subjected to sexual violence (which if true suggests that it was not gender-based). A previous discussion on this topic has also shown that many people do not understand what the term "gender-based violence" actually means, so whether including it in the title is usefully descriptive is quite questionable.

Right of way → ? – (Discuss) – Do not think this is the primary topic for this term. I expected to be taken to a page about the traffic term. The disambiguation page should be the PT, or maybe there needs to be a dab concept article, to clarify all these related but different terms. Natg 19 (talk) 16:37, 14 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Genocide of Indigenous peoples → Genocide of indigenous peoples – (Discuss) – "Indigenous" is only a proper name when adopted as conventional for a particular ethnic group, and when applied to the specific groups who have done so. As a general, global adjective it is not and cannot be a proper name (any more than the opposite, "colonial"), so should not be capitalized. See in particular the lead paragraph of MOS:CAPS: WP does not capitalize that which is not capitalized consistently across nearly all independent reliable sources, and "indigenous peoples" is not so capitalized (indeed, it is overwhelmingly lowercase [50][51], except in highly retrictive contexts that refer to specific populations who have adopted the term self-referentially as a name in English). This same situation is true of all such terms such as "native" and "aboriginal". "Aboriginal" is capitalized in reference to autochthonous Australians, and "Native" is capitalized in "Native Americans" in reference to the autochthonous peoples of what is now the US and sometimes (in mostly US usage) all of the Americas. But "native" is not capitalized (by the preponderance of modern reliable sources) in reference to Australians, nor "aboriginal" in reference to Americans, and neither is capitalized in "the native (aboriginal) peoples and languages of Siberia and Central Asia before the Soviet Union", etc. PS: There may be other over-capitalized articles of this sort, but perhaps take them one at a time, since some might pertain more narrowly to groups that have taken on "Indigenous" as a self-referential name/label. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC); revised 06:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Israel–Hamas war → Gaza War (2023–present) – (Discuss) – The previous discussion has concluded that WP:COMMONNAME does not stand as other names are also in common use. In such case, WP:COMMONNAME states that When there is no single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources, editors should reach a consensus as to which title is best by considering these criteria directly. I believe the proposed title is better in consistency; previous wars involving Gaza, Gaza War (2008–2009) and 2014 Gaza War, use Gaza War in the title, so this article should also follow suit.

Tel al-Sultan massacre → Rafah tent camp attack – (Discuss) – News sources have called it "attack", "massacre", "strike" and "airstrike". It is not yet clear which is the most WP:COMMONNAME. "Massacre" carries value judgement, and "airstrike" obscures the fact that many of the casualties weren't killed directly by the airstrike, but were burned alive in the resulting fire. "Strike" is very similar to "attack", but "attack" is consistent with other similar events like World Central Kitchen aid convoy attack. I also think "Rafah tent camp" is more recognizable than "Tel al-Sultan" and most sources seem to use "Rafah tent camp" or "Rafah displacement camp".VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 18:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza → ? – (Discuss) – I'm unsure what the new title should be, but I'm sure that this one has an issue. The Israeli attack on Gaza has gone past 2023 into 2024. So, we can't keep the "2023 Israeli attack on Gaza" part. Perhaps we could change it to "Allegations of genocide perpetrated by Israel in the Israel–Hamas war", "Allegations of genocide in Gaza in the Israel–Hamas war", or something different. Note that "2023 Israeli attack on Gaza" just redirects to Israel–Hamas war. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:49, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
