Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Om Shakti → Om Sakthi (currently a redirect back to Om Shakti) (move · discuss) – The Tamil script does not formally have a letter for /ʃ/ and ஷ is imported from some other Indic script. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:03, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Blåbärssoppa → Blueberry soup (currently a redirect back to Blåbärssoppa) (move · discuss) – Talk:Blåbärssoppa#How about move of the title? Turaids (talk) 18:22, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: Based on the article content, it would be more logical to rename the whole article to Bilberry soup. The article says that this soup is made from European berries, not the species found in North America. For botanical details, see the Bilberry article. EdJohnston (talk) 22:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Bilberry soup is not a very common name, unfortunately, but any English term would be better for a soup that's eaten not only in Sweden, but also Finland or Iceland. –Turaids (talk) 14:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- The bilberry article clearly states that it is different than the North American blueberry, so the request is unviable. It appears that Blåbärssoppa is the most common name used by people who actually eat the soup, so that should remain as the article title. The text can include variations that may exist in other countries, if relevant. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:20, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Standard for the Andalusian Language → Êttandâ pal andalûh (currently a redirect back to Standard for the Andalusian Language) (move · discuss) – "Standard for the Andalusian Language" is a completely made up name that can only be found in Wikipedia mirrors when doing a Google search. "Êttandâ pal andalûh" is the more well-known name and spelling in Spanish-language sources, which constitute the vast majority of sources discussing this system. In the case that moving from a title in English to one in Spanish wouldn't be considered as uncontroversial, this page should at least be moved to the direct English translation, "Standard for Andalusian", and the made up name be deleted.

- We use English on the English Wikipedia. See WP:UE. 162 etc. (talk) 18:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- 162 etc., did you even read what I said? Super Ψ Dro 17:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Requesting this as uncontroversial is presumptuous at best, and bad faith at worst. Per WP:UE, "If there is no established English-language treatment for a name, translate it". Per your own comment, the sources concerning this subject are in Spanish; therefore we translate, per policy. Not necessarily opposed to Standard for Andalusian, but again, this is not the sort of thing you bring to WP:RMT. 162 etc. (talk) 18:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Tianjin University Georgia Tech Shenzhen Institute → Georgia Tech Shenzhen Institute, Tianjin University (currently a redirect back to Tianjin University Georgia Tech Shenzhen Institute) (move · discuss) – Revert undiscussed moves to its previous title, to follow WP:OFFICIALNAME. Ref: [1] Tim Wu (talk) 17:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- The current title corresponds to its official Chinese name. Cfls (talk) 17:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- The official English name can also be corresponded to its Chinese name 天津大学 佐治亚理工深圳学院. And the translation you invented cannot be proved nor used by anyone, but the official name is recognized by the institute itself, Chinese government and academic journal.

- Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Expressway → Dhaka–Bhanga Expressway (currently a redirect back to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Expressway) (move) – WP:COMMONNAME. Mehedi Abedin 01:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Mehedi Abedin There isn't really an obvious common name. You can start a requested move discussion by clicking the "discuss" link above. C F A 💬 03:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Italian occupation of Adalia → Italian occupation of Antalya (currently a redirect back to Italian occupation of Adalia) (move · discuss) – article now uses the Italian name of the city instead of the English name, as it should be on the English wikipedia noclador (talk) 00:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- The city was overwhelmingly known as Adalia in English at that time (and probably on Turkish too), with Antalya barely in use at all back then.[2] Suggest this at least needs a full RM. — Amakuru (talk) 10:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Macedonia (ancient kingdom) → Kingdom of Macedonia (currently a redirect back to Macedonia (ancient kingdom)) (move · discuss) – There's no reason whatsoever for this page not to be at the common sense, standing redirect and naturally disambiguated common name for the topic, per WP:NCDAB - no previous discussion that I could see explains the current choice of a convoluted parenthetical alternative Iskandar323 (talk) 18:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Iskandar323 There was significant opposition to this move at Talk:Macedonia (ancient kingdom)/Archive 17#Requested move 16 September 2021 --Ahecht (TALK

- Concision → Succinctness (currently a redirect back to Concision) (move · discuss) – Much more widely used per number of Google and Google Books results. ModernDaySlavery (talk) 22:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ModernDaySlavery "Concision" is definitely the common name here. See ngrams for example. C F A 💬 13:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Newark Venture Partners → Nvp captial (move · discuss) – firm went through a rebrand with new name and website- see nvpcap.com Jlsolomon74 (talk) 15:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Jlsolomon74 Can you provide significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article where the "nvp capital" name is used. A Google search for that term mostly turns up results for Norwest Venture Partners. --Ahecht (TALK

- Iranian Revolution → Iranian revolution (currently a redirect back to Iranian Revolution) (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case (WP:AT). Not consistently capped in sources - per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS. See here. Cinderella157 (talk) 09:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Why would you think this would be uncontroversial? Your ngrams show that uppercase is the common styling. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:21, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
