- (Discuss) – Ben Platt (actor) → Ben Platt – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Currently, the page "Ben Platt" is a disambig that lists three pages: one for this article about the actor, one stub article for a retired cricketer, and one for a businessman who died in 1960. Per the Pageviews Analysis, the articles for the cricketer and businessman average between 1 and 8 views per day, respectively, while the article for the actor averages over 6,300 (and has far exceeded the traffic for the other two articles for as far back as the pageview records go).

- (Discuss) – Private Life → Private Life (song) – Private life (lowercase "l") is an extremely common term and it does not appear that the 40-year-old song (with the uppercase "L") would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of either private life (which redirects to private sphere) or Private Life. Since the disambiguation page entries (with the exception of the redirect to private sphere) use uppercase "L", the dab page main title header could remain with the uppercase "L" or consensus could skew towards using Private life as the dab page header, with its top entry pointing towards Private sphere. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always → Never Rarely Sometimes Always – The title of the film is Never Rarely Sometimes Always - without commas. Google search pulls from high traffic sites like wikipedia and we'd like for people to note see an incorrect title. See official site for source [1] Kirstin01 (talk) 23:13, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Iraqi invasion of Iran (1980) → Iraqi invasion of Iran – Already redirects there. Unreal7 (talk) 21:41, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2020 Baghdad International Airport airstrike → Death of Qasem Soleimani – Though reliable sources typically refer to this as the "killing of" or "assassination of" Qasem Soleimani, editors in previous move requests have objected to these as loaded terms conflicting with Wikipedia's NPOV policy on titles, so I am proposing the neutral "Death of Qasem Soleimani". The current title makes it sound like this was an attack on the airport itself, which it was not. Though others were killed in the attack, Soleimani's death was singled out by the vast majority of reliable sources as being the most consequential. His name is the most recognizable and the most natural. This new title is precise, concise, and consistent with the naming of articles about the deaths of other important figures. It meets Wikipedia's criteria for good titles. It is neutral and non-judgemental. Editors preferring the stronger "killing of" or "assassination of" may consider that, while "Death of Qasem Soleimani" is not their first choice, it is a better choice than the current title.

- (Discuss) – January 4 Tokyo Dome Show → Wrestle Kingdom – WP:COMMONNAME, seems to have been the name that has stuck. ViperSnake151 Talk 20:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Razin (disambiguation) → Razin – . The Cossack is known as Stenka Razin, not just Razin, for example Special:WhatLinksHere/Razin. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 20:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – KYMA-DT (1988–2020) → ? – If you are not familiar with broadcasting article title guidelines, please read this thoroughly before commenting. In 2019, Northwest Broadcasting, which owned television stations KYMA-DT and KSWT in Yuma, Arizona, was acquired. In order to comply with certain ownership regulations, the buyer was required to divest or surrender the license of one of the stations, which have been co-owned since 2014 under a waiver. It has chosen to shut down the KYMA-DT license, but prior to doing so, on January 13, 2020, it switched their callsigns, such that the current KSWT article needed to be moved to KYMA-DT. This change now shows in the FCC call sign database and is not in doubt. It is worth noting that a TV viewer in Yuma will notice little change, as all of the programming on the former KYMA-DT has been moved to the old KSWT/current KYMA-DT multiplex. The question that remains—and where I need consensus—is where to put the article about KYMA-DT from 1988 to 2020. The license that is being surrendered has been given the KSWT call sign, but I have a personal rule against "Viking funerals", in which a call sign is paired with a license that will expire or be surrendered in its final days, because they break WP:COMMONNAME. The final call sign on a license in this situation is thus not one a reader will expect and not an appropriate article title. I briefly put the article at KYMA-DT (former license), in order to move KSWT to KYMA-DT, and want to determine an appropriate disambiguator. Mvcg66b3r put it at KYMA-DT (1988–2020), which is probably the best available option given the precedent set by my defunct station work last year. I am establishing this RM mostly to gain consensus from others. The current article title is probably the one that will stand, but I want to have it nailed down.

- (Discuss) – Kamchatka Peninsula → Kamchatka – This article is already the primary topic of "Kamchatka" so why not simplify the title? Roastedturkey (talk) 19:12, 3 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:47, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Nonagon → Enneagon – The name with the Greek prefix seems to be the more "proper" name, for consistency with the pages Enneagonal prism and Enneahedron. I have reverted all of Jiho Ha's moves because the comments from 2004 at the top of Talk:Nonagonal number show that the moves are controversial, and need discussion. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Producers Guild of America Awards 2019 → 31st Producers Guild of America Awards – Consistency with other similar major awards like 92nd Academy Awards, 77th Golden Globe Awards, 72nd Directors Guild of America Awards, and 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards. Also, having a year in the article title causes unnecessary confusion about whether it refers to the year in film or when the ceremony is held- for example, the upcoming ceremony is called the "2019" awards on Wikipedia, while they're called the "2020" awards on the official Producers Guild website. Note: prior to 2001, the awards were called the PGA Golden Laurel Awards, which is retained in the move request. -- Wikipedical (talk) 17:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Plurality-at-large voting → Multiple non-transferable vote – At-large is (a) only a subset of the topic and (b) U.S.-specific terminology. There are MNTV elections using multiple electoral districts. The 2018 Guernsey electoral system referendum listed five choices of voting system, all of which all were MNTV, but two of which were fully at-large, one partly at-large and two not at-large. jnestorius(talk) 14:38, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Vaikuntha Chaturmurti → Caturmūrti – Per Doris Srinivasan: "The name Vaikuntha, according to the textual evidence, should be reserved for those four-faces Vishnu images where the god, either alone or with his consort, rides on Garuda. When Garuda is absent, as for example in the Kashmiri type to be discussed below, the designation Caturmūrti (four-faced image) is appropriate" in Srinivasan, Doris (1979). "Early Vaiṣṇava Imagery: Caturvyūha and Variant Forms". Archives of Asian Art. 32: 43. ISSN 0066-6637.

- (Discuss) – Prom Night (franchise) → Prom Night (film series) – This is a series of films, there is no other media to make it really be considered a franchise. ★Trekker (talk) 12:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Hexer (TV series) → The Hexer – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and perhaps WP:Common sense. The "film" is just a mash-up of clips from the TV series, rather like the Battlestar Galacitica movie that was made up of scenes from the first season of that [original] TV series. Honestly, just merging the film into the TV series article, at The Hexer, as a section would also be an appropriate possibility. While before the current The Witcher TV series on Netflix, the film might maybe have had a primary-topic claim, in that various English-language movie sites mentioned the film more often than non-Polish sites talked about the full TV series, today there's more material out there about the original TV series, including in-depth comparisons of The Hexer versus Netflix's The Witcher, and they generally agree the film isn't worth watching or covering in any detail, since it's just a poor edit of the original series. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:20, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Bethlehem Steel F.C. (1907–30) → Bethlehem Steel F.C. (1907–1930) –
This is a partial revert of a WP:RM/TR, the original article title was Bethlehem Steel F.C. (1907–30).(edit 12:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC) revert done in RM/TR) Despite Bethlehem Steel F.C. has renamed to Philadelphia Union II, there is no prove "Bethlehem Steel F.C.

- (Discuss) – Kepler space telescope → Kepler Space Telescope – Per Wikipedia's guidelines on consistent article titles, harmonising with articles such as Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, Origins Space Telescope, Sentinel Space Telescope, ect. In last year's discussion, the argument against the capitalisation of "space telescope" was that it was only capitalised in title case. This is not true however, as the capitalised name appears in the prose of some of NASA's articles,[2][3][4][5][6] and numerous third party articles such as those from astronomy and science-oriented publications,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] along with other miscellaneous reliable sources.[14][15][16][17][18][19]

- (Discuss) – Marcel Hansen (murderer) → Marcel Hansen (criminal) – This individual has committed more universally-recognized crimes than just murder, so it would be better if this article received a broader identifier. ToThAc (talk) 20:41, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ana Pastor Julián → Ana Pastor (politician) – Under WP:MAIDEN, second surnames should only be used when the person is better known with it. This is not the case here: both of these people are commonly known as "Ana Pastor" only, with their second surnames being of little use in reliable sources and, thus, unhelpful to serve as proper disambiguators. This is supported by WP:NCPDAB when it calls for using "the usual way of distinguishing two people of the same name", which in this case is not the second surname but their occupations: Ana Pastor Julián being prominently known as a long-time cabinet minister, member of the People's Party and speaker of the Congress of Deputiess between 2016 and 2019, and Ana Pastor García being one of Spain's most widely-known journalists, having worked on TVE, CNN and laSexta.

- (Discuss) – Pablo Iglesias Turrión → Pablo Iglesias – Not only because of WP:COMMONNAME on the specific subject (sources do not tend to refer to him as "Pablo Iglesias Turrión", but as "Pablo Iglesias" only), but also and foremost because of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC: the article's topic is primary for the term both in usage and long-term significance, specially now that the person has become a deputy prime minister of Spain. Further, according to web statistics, this one this one has been already the prime target for visitors out all three listed "Pablo Iglesias" pages in Wikipedia throughout the last five years, and by a great deal. This one should eventually follow the same path as the Pedro Sánchez article did. Impru20talk 19:58, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – The Fragile (Nine Inch Nails album) → The Fragile – I was pretty taken aback to see that this article has such a specific disambiguator, so I had a look at the Fragile dab page to see what other topics have this name. Turns out that, although there are quite a few things named just Fragile (including other albums), the only other thing named THE Fragile that has an article is another album. Between the fact that the Nine Inch Nails album has page views in the thousands while the O'Hooley & Tidow album doesn't even come close, a quick Google search that almost exclusively brought up results related to the NIN album and the other album being by a seemingly much less well-known and culturally significant artist, this album seems like an obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

- (Discuss) – Dropping out → Dropout (education) – Since this article is not primary, it should be moved to be properly disambiguated. My reasoning is as follows: "Dropping out" can also be used to describe other terms, such as "the connection dropping out" or "radiation dropping out". Therefore, it is overly vague and should be redirected to Dropout. Per WP:NOUN and WP:CONSISTENT, it should also be called "dropout". ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:59, 4 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Ninja (video game player) → Ninja (gamer) – ... and so on
The term "video game player" is a bit verbose, especially as used in an article title. The argument could be made that "gamer" is too informal and thus unencyc, however the term has an article already which the verbose term redirects too, and the Wiktionary entry doesn't specify it as informal. Therefore, I think it's due to relabel these people (who don't fit under "streamer" or any other short label) as simply gamers.
And yes, there are lots of other articles with the same parenthesis (actually over 100 of them) which should also logically be renamed, but I didn't want to link every single one. Gaioa (T C L) 12:31, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – United States Tumbling & Trampoline Association → United States Trampoline and Tumbling Association – Although there is some inconsistency on their website, it is clear the USTA prefers the name United States Trampoline and Tumbling Association to United States Tumbling and Trampoline Association. The strongest case for this is the website's terms of use in which the proposed ordering is used 69 times, compared to the current ordering which is not found at all. Furthermore both the name in the website's footer and organization logo list trampoline before tumbling. Secondly, as part of this move request, the MOS instructs that titles should not use ampersands unless legitimately necessary, and although the site also often stylizes their name with an ampersand, it also writes out and on places like their homepage. This would also allow the URL of the page to be more easily readable as the & character would not be replaced with %26. Nolandanley (talk) 07:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Haitham bin Tariq Al Said → Haitham bin Tariq – I may be totally wrong, but per WP:CONSISTENCY it seems that we need to remove the "Al Said" part from the title of these articles as none of the other articles about the rulers of Oman have the dynastic name in their titles. The Arabic article about Qaboos also omits this part. If users decide otherwise, then I'd assume that "Al Said" needs to be added to the main title of all the articles about Omani sultans from this dynasty. Keivan.fTalk 04:10, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Mena (name) → Mena (surname) – I suggest this article be split into two. The "given name" is unreferenced, all the prose textual information is concerning the Jewish and Iberian surname. Only the list of people by this given name concerns the given name. The given name list just needs to be split off to Mena (given name), the majority of the article would then move to Mena (surname), and the current title Mena (name) would end up redirecting to Mena (disambiguation), which would list both the surname and given name pages. The edit history would remain attached to the surname article, since the prose text is only about the surname, thus the significant contributions (not just adding a name on a list) is about the surname. -- 67.70.33.184 (talk) 21:19, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Second: It might make some people confused if we keep using this name considering the company which owns the club that plays on the stadium is known as the Arab Contractors while the club is commonly referred to as Al Mokawloon Al Arab (the transliteration of the company's name). Third: Because many sources uses this name like World Stadiums, Kawowo Sports and other sources. Ben5218 (talk) 19:26, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Threads → Threads (film) – WP:ASTONISH no clear primary topic given that Threads (Sheryl Crow album) got 4,942 views (though that might be recentism) compared with the film's 12,959 views which probably doesn't meet "much more likely than any other" which would probably be more like 10x. Thread (computing) also gets 10,369, Screw thread gets 9,755, Thread (network protocol) gets 2,650 and Thread (yarn) gets 1,752 [[10]]. By long term significance if anything many of the terms titled in the singular would be primary if anything. See similar cases like Cars, Cats, Bones, Bookends, Pixies and Parachutes which no only does the specific meanings not take precedence, the general meanings do. I propose that like Dockers and Cuts we redirect "Threads" to Thread per WP:DABCOMBINE since there are quite a few meanings that would be on both DAB pages if split. While its true that per WP:PLURALPT users can be expected to use the singular more often they are still full matches and anyway it gives the examples of Cars and Bookends redirecting to the singular named article. Also as noted in the Bookends, Suites, Dockers and Peanuts discussions (and probably others) we can't distinguish between "threads" and "Threads" since the 1st letter is always capitalized in titles even though we can with the likes of Common sense and Common Sense. And even if we could we can't tell if its at the start of a sentence since we can see that in the Thread (computing) article the plural term appears over 100x and in some cases it appears as "Threads" (when its at the start of a sentence). WP articles are generally out of context (unlike WT entries) and thus an initial capital could easily be expected anyway. Also note that the category is at Category:Threads (computing) which also shows that its common for things to be plural even though we don't in the article space, see WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. A Google Images search for threads returns most results for Thread (yarn) which is very well known and the plural form appears 14x in the article. Threads (TV series) is another option.

- (Discuss) – List of H-I and H-II launches → List of H-II and H3 launches – I have been expanding the list of launches of all space launch vehicles and I noticed that this list was created in 2018. Unfortunately despite the naming convention, the H-I and H-II series are almost completely different, and most importantly due to its lower stages' heritage the H-I launches are already listed with the List of Thor and Delta launches tables! While the H-I isn't a complete licensed built version of the Delta (as with the N-I & N-II), it was close enough that McDonnell Douglas once consider bringing this configuration with LH2 2nd stage back to the US in the process of designing what became the Delta II. [6] On the other hand, the H-II is a completely new design. Given the overlap in the H-I launches, I suggest removing them from the current H-I + H-II launch list, and instead pair the H-II series with the H3 rocket under development right now - with the exception of the new first stage engine, the H3 is fairly similar to the H-IIA/B and can be seen as an evolutionary step a la Ariane 5 to Ariane 6.

This new title I am suggesting is more accurate, less ambiguous, and slightly more COMMONNAME.

Since then, the use of the prefix "Killing of ..." has become more common on Wikipedia. Admittedly, the prefix "Death of ..." is more common on Wikipedia but part of the problem is intransigence. We should move towards more accurate and more descriptive titles, especially as in this case when in common parlance this event is referred to as the "2011 killing of Osama bin Laden". Bin Laden did not just die. Someone killed him. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 05:42, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – List of self-identified LGBTQ New Yorkers → List of LGBT people from New York City – There are really three aspects to this. I'm hoping that doesn't muddle the discussion too much. #"Self-identified" is unnecessary since we must follow self-identification project-wide anyway; I see this as parallel to WP:LISTNAME's proscribing words like "notable" in list titles. #Other parts of WP:LISTNAME apply. "List of people from [city]" is explicitly given as an example, rather than the use of demonym. #LGBT and New York City match those articles and similar ones (e.g., Lists of LGBT people, List of people from New York City). Note also: ::*Removal of the Q does not change the scope of the article. ::*While commonly understood in New York City to refer to people from the city, "New Yorker" is still the demonym for the whole state, and we are a global encyclopedia. I would support any change that removes "self-identified" unless I note otherwise. I believe the other changes are also best given our policies but am more flexible on those. --BDD (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed the previous brief discussion because I was checking the talk pages of various redirects, and I missed it. Sorry. Never mind, let's start. As far as I see it, "Statement on Auditing Standards" is a proper noun. It is not some general statement on auditing standards, "I think auditing standards are too lax" or whatnot, it is a specific kind of document required by the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, which as you see is in initial caps. GAAS issues "Statements on Auditing Standards", each of which is a Statement, singular, the two we have articles for are Statement_on_Auditing_Standards_No._55 and Statement on Auditing Standards No. 99: Consideration of Fraud. Whether the plural "Statements" or singular "Statement" should be used is a fine point, but these are particular things that are proper names. Declaration of interest per WP:COI: my wife is a financial auditor, but not under GAAP rules but she never edits Wikipedia and has not asked me to raise this on her behalf. There is no conflict of interest. This is purely WP:NCCAPS as a proper name. 94.21.38.148 (talk) 15:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Statism in Shōwa Japan → Japanese fascism – I am arguing that this article be moved to Japanese fascism based on two points. (1.) Firstly, the current title of the article is wrong, since statism was only one form of Japanese ultranationalism. See this quote from historian Richard Sims: "The divisions within Japanese ultranationalism:The great number and variety of different groups makes analysis of Japanese nationalism extremely difficult. Historians have tended to favour a dualistic division into kokkashugi (pro-Establishment statist nationalism) and kokuminshugi (anti-Establishment people-oriented nationalism), or alternatively, totalitarian (or renovationist) Right and idealist (or Japanist) Right." Therefore, I think we should all be able to agree that Statism in Showa Japan is the wrong title. (2.) While I admit that fascism is difficult to define, and while I admit that many historians do not associate the Japanese extreme right with fascism, many, if not most historians, do call it fascism. For example, historian E. Bruce Reynolds says, "surely Bernd Martin was correct in labeling prewar Japan 'a folkish imperial state' and itsemperor-centered ideology a form of 'Japanese-style fascism.'" Historian Christopher WA Szpilman says, "fascists were in charge in prewar Japan, even if they themselves spurned this label. After all, it is not the labels that are important, but the ideological content." If there is no consensus to rename this article to Japanese fascism, my second choice is Ultranationalism in prewar Japan. Hko2333 (talk) 08:19, 29 December 2019 (UTC)—Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Marriage Story (2019 film) → Marriage Story – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Yes, this film is quite new, but I don't think it's a stretch to say it's already received more acclaim and coverage than the 1992 movie has ever gotten. No sense waiting for Oscar season to move the page... Nohomersryan (talk) 08:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 16:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – New Aberdeen Stadium → Kingsford Stadium – Kingsford Stadium is its name, as shown for example by its own website www.kingsfordstadium.co.uk and various other local sources. I don't think it has ever been called New Aberdeen Stadium. Was that a name made up by Wikipedia? 188.30.156.58 (talk) 10:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 15:40, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ge Ping (voice actor) → Ge Ping – the voice actor, being an internet meme, is way more famous than the athlete. Roy17 (talk) 23:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – New Sydney Football Stadium → Sydney Football Stadium (2021) – Per my previous rationale for moving the page away from "New Sydney Football Stadium", the use of "new" is discouraged from use in these circumstances as it is a relative time reference. This new proposal differs as instead I'm proposing it to be moved to "Sydney Football Stadium (2021)" per the suggestion of GiantSnowman in the previous discussion, which other users had no discernible opposition to. Pinging Cerebral726, Dekimasu, Moa999, and Sydfacor as participants in the previous discussion. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 23:15, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kalinin → Kalinin (disambiguation) – Per above discussion from over two-and-a-half years ago. The names proposed in that discussion [except for Kirov and Molotov] have been moved since then. The argument is basically the same — as with all the other names listed above — every single entry at the Kalinin disambiguation page [except for Kalinin (surname)] refers to Mikhail Kalinin, but his name [same as with Kirov and Molotov at the time of the original nomination] does not even appear at the dab page and is listed in the middle of the pack at Kalinin (surname), thus making the key fact (that every entry at the dab page is named solely after him) unknown and entirely marginalized to English Wikipedia users not versed in Soviet history. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Causeway Street Elevated → Causeway Street elevated – "Elevated" is a generic descriptor, not part of a proper name, as you can see by the fact that sources often use lowercase. Dicklyon (talk) 05:43, 25 December 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 16:45, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Melody (Japanese singer) → Melody (American singer) – She was born and raised in the US, and did not move to Japan until she was 19. We don't consider Jessica Jung and Tiffany Young South Korean singers or Wang Leehom Chinese just because they work in Asia and sing in Asian languages. 2607:FCC8:9F86:F900:14CD:79EB:95C5:75A8 (talk) 21:49, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Template:NBA roster statistics full → Template:Basketball roster statistics full/header – Template can be used for generic purpose, but the template name is league-specific. Please overwrite the existing Template:Basketball roster statistics full/header to keep User:Ayomaju's edit history since the new page was solely based on this template. — McVahl Talk 02:07, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Socialist Party – Broad Front of Ecuador → Ecuadorian Socialist Party – This is the party's current official name. Charles Essie (talk) 16:23, 6 December 2019 (UTC)—Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 07:38, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Hebei Elite F.C. → Hebei Aoli Jingying F.C. – - As the picture in an article Official Weibo Account posted by the club on its official Weibo account shows, which is the Chinese version of twitter, the club's official English name recognized by the club is Hebei Aoli Jingying. A picture taken by a weibo user after Hebei Aoli Jingying match shows that the club's English name which was printed on the banner inside the stadium is Hebei Aoli Jingying. [19] Thus, I request that move the page to Hebei Aoli Jingying, which is the official English name of the club instead of Hebei Olé Elite stated by Sagan Storo as the official name in the edit summary.
