Uncontroversial technical requests
- La sonnambula (Balanchine) (currently a redirect to La Sonnambula (Balanchine)) → La Sonnambula (Balanchine) (move · discuss) – Correct title per New York City Ballet and George Balanchine Trust. Corachow (talk) 18:05, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Art silk (currently a redirect to Artificial silk) → Artificial silk (move · discuss) – Better description of article subject; I can't seem to move it myself. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 13:06, 16 April 2022 (UTC)--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 13:06, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Gyros (food) (currently a redirect to Gyros) → Gyros (move · discuss) – Per RM discussion outcome В²C ☎ 07:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- I've seen the RM, which had a non-admin closure, and personally I'm not sure that there is indeed consensus for this move, rather than having a dab page at Gyros. But please feel free to make this move if you disagree. Dr. Vogel (talk) 12:24, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Draft:Tracey Medeiros (currently a redirect to Tracey Medeiros) → Tracey Medeiros (move · discuss) – Biography to replace redirect Thriley (talk) 06:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Shouldn't this be coming through WP:AFC? ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:50, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- @TheAafi: AfC is a subset of draftspace. Drafts can always be published directly to mainspace. However, @Thriley, are you sure you want to publish this in its current state? At the moment it only barely satisfies WP:CCS. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 11:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- I think publishing it now is fine. In my opinion she is a notable author from the sources I have seen. I'll be adding more to solidify the article. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 19:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

- Scottish Women's Football League First Division Cup (currently a redirect to Scottish Women's Football League Cup) → Scottish Women's Football League Cup (move · discuss) – Hi - the Scottish Women's Football association has reverted to the "League Cup" name (the Cup's earlier name), since 2020. See the current season on its website, "Scottish Women's Football League Cup: 2022 Season". The "SWFL First Division" was discontinued in 2019 (effectively replaced by the "SWF Championship"). Further details are already contained in the relevant articles. Thank you! Demokra (talk) 00:43, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Abdullah ibn Saba' (currently a redirect to Abd Allah ibn Saba') → Abd Allah ibn Saba (currently a redirect instead to Abd Allah ibn Saba') (move · discuss) – This is the correct and WP:COMMONNAME spelling for this figure. Also, his contemporaries have the spelling Abd Allah rather than Abdullah e.g. Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami, Abd Allah ibn Ubayy etc. Reliable sources rarely ever use the Persian-Urdu 'Abdullah' on historical Arab figures, the Arabic spelling should be used.

- well, Google search gives more hits for the current name in this case. ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:46, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Galgotias University Campus One (currently a redirect to Galgotias College) → Galgotias College of Engineering & Technology (currently a redirect instead to Galgotias College) (move · discuss) – it is not part of Galgotias University Curaj 4 (talk) 10:05, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Multiyear ranking of most viewed pages (currently a redirect to Wikipedia:Popular pages) → Wikipedia:Popular pages (move · discuss) – The new title was once the title of a page not maintained anymore. I think that this page should be moved to a shorter title. Interstellarity (talk) 13:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- We Are (album mini) is invalid. Must create We Are (album mini) before requesting that it be moved to We Are (EP).– Incorrect disambiguation. There is no such thing as (album mini), only mini album but we don't use such disambiguation as they're disambiguated as (EP), neither is (mini album) or (album mini) mentioned as part of WP:ALBUMDAB. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Park Seo Ham is invalid. Must create Park Seo Ham before requesting that it be moved to Park Seo-ham.– Korean naming convention as per WP:NCKOREAN. Accireioj (talk) 15:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Draft:Angela Seo (currently a redirect to Angela Seo) → Angela Seo (move · discuss) – "Angela Seo" draft is finished and is a candidate for article status, cannot move myself due to redirect. JSIAmKidding (talk) 17:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
