March 2024

  1. Progressive Party (United States, 1912–1920): nominated at RM; New name: Bull Moose Party 01:24, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Easily the WP:COMMONNAME. Ancient mumbling ignorant of that policy does not contested consensus make.
  2. Comparison of US and Chinese Military Armed Forces: nominated at AfD 00:04, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Seems wholly synthetic and redundant as far as lists go.
  3. Talk:East Asian Gothic typeface: nominated at RM; New name: Gothic typeface 18:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The only worry may be conflation with the items listed at Gothic script, but I think this is a safe WP:NATURAL decision.
  4. Chinese language and varieties in the United States: nominated at RM; New name: Chinese languages in the United States 09:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I understand why both "language" and "varieties" are offered in the title, but it's redundant and imperfect any way you slice it: I see "languages" as the best compromise between "language", "varieties", etc.

April 2024

  1. Template talk:Transliteration: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Translit 18:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The extra eration really contributes to a readability issue when there are lists, tables, or any preponderance of this template in an article—I get that {{transl}} is undesirably ambiguous, but frankly: the shorter the better. I would even prefer {{tlit}} if other people will let me get away with it.
      No one in the 2022 move discussion mentioned an explicit issue with {{translit}}, so hopefully folks would be okay with it now.
  2. Category:Independant Native American countries: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified AvailableViking (talk · contribs) 22:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Or plausibly, just a rename to correct the spelling error. Redundant at best with other categories, the notion of a "country" as we understand it seems dangerously nebulous and unattested in several member articles here.
  3. Talk:Sheng nu: nominated at RM; New name: Sheng nü 03:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the reasoning of several previous moves, the predominant Hanyu Pinyin romanization system treats nü and nu as different syllables, and I do not feel WP:COMMONNAME can be enough of a reason to keep the confusing, unsystematic name in this case.

May 2024

  1. 君: nominated at RfD; Target: Japanese honorifics (notified); notified Dbachmann (talk · contribs) 23:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This character functions as a pronoun and honorific in Literary Chinese, whence the Japanese sense. I do not just want to redirect it to a Chinese article, but I don't think a disambiguation page is warranted either.
  2. Ancient United States: nominated at RfD; Target: Pre-Columbian era (notified); notified Blaze The Movie Fan (talk · contribs) 08:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: It's a bad redirect, folks.
  3. Category:Chinese retired emperors: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Chinese emperors who abdicated; notified วรุฒ หิ่มสาใจ (talk · contribs) 06:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: More clear, consistent with related categories.
  4. Template:Electronic writing: nominated at TfD; notified Doseiai2 (talk · contribs) 11:56, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
  5. Talk:Sino-Xenic pronunciations: nominated at RM; New name: Sino-Xenic pronunciations 14:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This article would seem mighty shallow if it were merely about phonology, surely it's also about the morphemes in the context of the sinographosphere?
  6. Talk:One half: nominated at RM; New name: One-half 13:18, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per MOS:FRAC: Spelled-out fractions are hyphenated
      Like, it looks a bit weird to me, but I'm sure it will look normal as an article title if I keep staring at it.

June 2024

  1. ICanHazPDF: nominated at AfD; notified Lawsonstu (talk · contribs) 15:16, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: A hashtag used 4 times in 2015 with two fluff pieces written about it fails GNG.
  2. Ming (typefaces): nominated at RM; New name: Ming typefaces 02:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
  3. Indo-European ablaut: nominated at RM; New name: Ablaut 20:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: It's the natural WP:COMMONNAME in English, being adequately specific and more concise.
  4. Category:Languages with ISO 639-3 code: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Gjs238 (talk · contribs) 10:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason': Largely redundant, as all major languages and most languages with millions of speakers have one. If we do decide this is a useful category, rename to Category:Languages with ISO 639-3 codes.
  5. Talk:Macau: nominated at RM; New name: Macao 14:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the preliminary discussions above, it seems there's actually a solid case on WP:COMMONNAME (+ WP:OFFICIAL) grounds for this rename. Let's see where it goes.
  6. Category:Pioneers of Israel: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Dag21902190 (talk · contribs) 03:14, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This seems like it could plausibly renamed, refocused, or deleted. Obviously it's a coherent group, but is it an encyclopedic one as it stands?

July 2024

  1. Sporgery: nominated at AfD; notified Desertphile (talk · contribs) 22:06, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Wholly non-notable, and seemingly not a clearly independent concept. I think this article only exists for the very incidental Scientology connection.
