Uncontroversial technical requests
- Her Escape (film) (currently a redirect to Her Escape) → Her Escape (move · discuss) – Her Escape used to be occupied by a non-notable EP which I've first moved to Her Escape (EP) and then redirected to the artist's discography. That leaves the film as the only article with this title. Lennart97 (talk) 21:25, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- User:Lil-unique1/Sandbox/Bang (Nicole Scherzinger song) is invalid. Must create User:Lil-unique1/Sandbox/Bang (Nicole Scherzinger song) before requesting that it be moved to Bang (Nicole Scherzinger song).– have been working on this page in my userspace and believe it is now ready for the mainspace. However, as there is already a page at the target name (which is a direct), this is not a move I can perform myself ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 20:41, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Kalol (Vidhan Sabha constituency) (currently a redirect to Kalol) → Kalol, Gandhinagar (Vidhan Sabha constituency) (currently a redirect instead to Kalol, Gandhinagar Assembly constituency) (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – to distinguish it from another constituency in Panchamahal district of the same name MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

- Tanzim al- Qaida fi Bilad al-Rafidayn is invalid. Must create Tanzim al- Qaida fi Bilad al-Rafidayn before requesting that it be moved to Al-Qaeda in Iraq.– restore redirect to it's original title, presumably Kiro Bassem moved this around by accident, this one has history that needs to be preserved at the correct location, and obviously the talk page needs to be moved back as well to keep the history tidy 51.79.156.12 (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
