- Hullavington Airfield (currently a redirect to RAF Hullavington) → RAF Hullavington (move · discuss) – Although the site is now known as Hullavington Airfield, for the vast majority of it's existence it was known as RAF Hullavington.

- Seleucus VII Philometer (currently a redirect to Seleucus VII Philometor) → Seleucus VII Philometor (move · discuss) – Philometor is the correct name, as the article itself states. But Seleucus VII Philometor is set up as a redirect page, and it doesn't allow me to do the rename. Flordeneu (talk) 18:11, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Doctor Who: Legacy (video game) (currently a redirect to Doctor Who: Legacy) → Doctor Who: Legacy (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguation. Target redirects to a section on the parent article that refers the article in question. Lordtobi (✉) 18:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Luiz Otávio → Luiz Otávio (footballer, born 1992) (move · discuss) – we already have the article Luiz Otávio (footballer, born 1988). Also a disambiguation page needs to be created. RRD (talk) 16:49, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Kim Ok-bin (currently a redirect to Kim Ok-vin) → Kim Ok-vin (move · discuss) – Correct romanization of subject's name. Subject's own instagram indicates her name as such. Cannes film festival website and this news article also confirm that her name is spelled as "vin", not "bin". 179.158.184.231 (talk) 22:27, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
