Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place. If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself. If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

• Fall River Marksmen (currently a redirect to Fall River F.C. (1922–1931)) → Fall River F.C. (currently a redirect instead to Fall River F.C. (1932)) (move · discuss) – There is a previously moved article called Fall River F.C. that has been moved to Fall River F.C. (1932). So the redirect is currently occupied preventing Fall River Marksmen moving there. -- Libro0 (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi, would you please be able to show evidence that the club from the 1920's should be at the base title, while the one from the 1930's should have a disambiguator? As opposed to, for example, a dabpage at the base title? Dr. Vogel (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm not sure I can provide evidence to that effect. I can provide countless references to what the team's official name is. The other team played a season in 1932 and was significantly less notable. I can provide citations in their respective articles. It would help me to organize these articles which need more attention. The 1920's team was quite notable and had the name much longer. This information is shown in these articles. Titling articles with nicknames should be avoided because I have renamed an article that had a totally erroneous nickname while other teams have had several nicknames over different periods.

• (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay → (Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay (currently a redirect back to (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay) (move · discuss) – Per MOS:TITLECAPS, "on" should be in lowercase. Moscow Connection (talk) 20:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Matt Kennard (actor) → Matt Kennard (move · discuss) – The move. There was no reason to move this page. It should be discussed first. Renat 19:13, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• 44 Minutes → 44 Minutes (song) (move · discuss) – The article seems to have been blanked with no formal deletion process in 2014 after restoration from a deletion in 2009. There are more articles that contain "44 Minutes" in the title, like 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out, another piece of media. BurgeoningContracting (talk) 04:55, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This one does not appear to be necessary. There is only one other article in WP with "44 Minutes" in the title, and that is the TV film which has the much longer title "44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out". Therefore the Megadeth song is the only article that is literally called "44 Minutes" and there is no need for disambiguation. "See also..." hatnotes at the top of each of the two articles should suffice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:44, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the film has a longer name, but subtitles are often omitted from topic names (see MOS:SUBTITLE). Without the subtitle, the name is identical. Do we have any evidence that people using "44 Minutes" by itself are primarily looking for the song rather than the film? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that the film's official title is the entire thing with no subtitle involved, which was probably intended to tell audiences that it was about a real-life event that was recently in the news. But I have no dispute with other interpretations. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:47, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With the DVD box just "44 Minutes" and 131 views vs 4 for the song, the song would be such a weak case for WP:PT that restoring (song) is easier to do than go to RM. But if it must go to RM, then support. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:53, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have no view either way on this, but given the discussion here it possibly warrants a WP:RM. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Fun & Serious Game Festival → Titanium Awards (currently a redirect back to Fun & Serious Game Festival) (move · discuss) – Primary topic; new page title redirects to current, preventing a manual move. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  This sounds more like an article subject scope change that a primary topic title claim. Steel1943 (talk) 18:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• List of programs broadcast by Boomerang in the UK (currently a redirect to List of programmes broadcast by Boomerang (British and Irish TV channel)) → List of programmes broadcast by Boomerang (British and Irish TV channel) (move · discuss) – Do I even need to say it? 100.7.44.80 (talk) 16:12, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  While I support the localized spelling change the station is based in the UK we don't include every country it serves in the title. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 04:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Then why does Boomerang (British and Irish TV channel) have Ireland included in its title? 100.7.44.80 (talk) 15:57, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not saying it's right or not, but looking at Template:Children's television & radio in UK & Ireland there are a few like that. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:54, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  For what it's worth, I just ran the regex query intitle:/List of.*channel\)/, which only returns titles that include "List of" and have "channel)" somewhere after "List of", and the only title the query returned was List of Food Network (Canadian TV channel) personalities ... meaning there seems to be very little precedence for titling articles as proposed by the requester. But, I mean, there is something like it that exists. Steel1943 (talk) 00:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  This request is correct per WP:NCTV#List articles since the article is Boomerang (British and Irish TV channel) and not for example Boomerang (TV network). So even if you would like the above style, it would then be List of programs broadcast by Boomerang (British and Irish TV channel) in the UK which I assume no one wants. Gonnym (talk) 10:20, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  This probably needs an WP:RM. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:17, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
