| 2>
Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:
Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page#Moving a file page.
Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion.
Moves from user space – (new/unconfirmed users only) add {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article.
Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

| Requesting technical moves | |
| 2>
Consider the following points before listing pages here:
If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial or technical in nature (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If you cannot move the page yourself, then request it below.
If any of the following situations applies to the requested move, it should be treated as controversial:
There is an existing article at the target title
There has been any past debate about the best title for the page
Someone could reasonably disagree with the move
If the page has recently been moved without discussion, then you may revert the move (although this is not required, and may not always be possible) and initiate a discussion of the move on the talk page of the article. (See also: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.)
If the only obstacle to a technical move is a navigation aid (e.g., a redirect or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history), you may add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|page to be moved here|reason for move}}
This will list the page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection.
Otherwise, list new technical requests at the bottom of the sub-section "Technical requests" immediately below, using the following code:
{{subst:RMassist|old page name|requested name|reason for move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.
If you object to a proposal listed in Technical requests, please move it to the Contested technical requests section below.
If your technical request is contested by another editor, remove the request from the "Contested technical requests" section and follow the instructions at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves, below.

| Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves | |
| 2>
Do not put more than one move request on the same article talk page, as this is not supported by the bot that handles updates to this page. (For requesting multiple moves, see below.)
This process is only necessary if there is any reason to believe a requested move would be contested. For technical move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see Technical requests above.

| Requesting a single page move | |
| 3>
(If your proposal involves moving more than one page—for example, if you will need to move one page, such as a disambiguation page, to move another page to that title—please use the process for "Requesting multiple page moves" below.)
To request a single page move, create a new section at the bottom of the Talk page of the article you want moved. Format it like this:
== Requested move ==
{{subst:requested move|NewName}} Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. ~~~~
The name of the section does not necessarily need to be "Requested move", though it is suggested. "NewName" is what you want the new name of the page to be. If there was a previous discussion use == Requested move xxxx == where xxxx can be the year if that is appropriate, or "2" for a second discussion.
As an alternative, you can click the "New Section" tab on the talk page and insert {{subst:RMtalk|Proposed new name|Reason for move.}} Leave the Subject/headline blank, as the template automatically creates the heading "Requested move", along with a location for survey and discussion. Also note that the template must be substituted. The template will automatically include your signature.
Note: Nominators should not add a separate support !vote, as the nomination itself qualifies as a !vote. Nominators may, of course, make comments and otherwise participate in the discussion.

| Requesting multiple page moves | |
| 3>
On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here:
==Requested move==
{{subst:move-multi
| current1 = Current title of page 1, with the talk page hosting this discussion
| new1 = New title for page 1
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| current3 = Current title for page 3
| new3 = New title for page 3
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. Do not sign this.
}}
For example, if you were proposing a move for the article Wikipedia and other articles, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia and current1 would be Wikipedia. Note that the discussion for all the affected articles is held on the talk page of the first article - current1. It is not necessary to sign a request using this template with ~~~~ as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers. The template currently supports up to 30 listings.
After you make your move request on the talk page of one of the articles, per above, RM bot will automatically place a notice on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.
The template {{movenotice}} can be used on the current page (not the talk page) to draw attention to the proposed move and the discussion on the appropriate talk page.
Note: Nominators should not add a separate support !vote, as the nomination itself qualifies as a !vote. Nominators may, of course, make comments and otherwise participate in the discussion.

| Current discussions | |
| 2>
This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically when the discussion is closed.
To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page.
This list is also available in a page-link-first format.

(Discuss) – General Nutrition Centers
→ GNC
– Relisted. Favonian (talk) 21:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC) Per WP:COMMONNAME, "GNC" is the most commonly used name in reference to the store — even the logo says just GNC, the website is gnc.com, and a search for "General nutrition center[s]" gets far fewer hits. The retail chain seems to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this abbreviation, as it gets more hits than the other elements abbreviated GNC. However, two of the other things currently listed on the GNC page are at PROD, so whether or not we need a GNC (disambiguation) page for them will depend on how the prod turns out.

(Discuss) – Never Been Kissed → Never Been Kissed (film) – I don't know which one is more primary: the Barrymore film or the Glee episode. Nevertheless, after publication of the Glee episode, either this film may no longer be a primary topic as it was before, or there are now two primary topics. — George Ho (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Christian Ritter (composer) → Christian Ritter – The 17th century Baroque composer, a member of the North German school, is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as per the criterion of long-term significance; in fact the German footballer does not have an entry on German WP. The footballer's page is a very short stub. It needs to be moved over the redirect Christian Ritter (footballer). Aegoceras (talk) 17:55, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Hope Adams Newman → Hope Adams – I am requested that this page be moved back immediately!! It had no reason to be moved as Hope only used Newman as her married name. It was only moved yesterday, so can it just be moved back? There was absolutely no reason to move it and the person who did move it does not understand WP:COMMONNAME.

(Discuss) – Vanderbilt–Ole Miss football rivalry → Ole Miss–Vanderbilt football rivalry – Every other college football rivalry listed in Category:College football rivalries in the United States that lists the teams' names in the page title does so alphabetically. This page's name should modified to reflect that standard, as well. -Jhortman (talk) 16:15, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Zürich Hauptbahnhof → Zurich Central Station – The other train stations in Category:Hauptbahnhof are titled as "Central Station." The word "hauptbahnhof" is not found in the major English-language dictionaries.[1], [2], [3],[4]. According to WP:UE: “If there is no established English-language treatment for a name, translate it if this can be done without loss of accuracy and with greater understanding for the English-speaking reader.” Removing the diacritic here allows this title to correspond to the city article, which is at Zurich. The Google book hits for "Zurich Hauptbahnhof" are almost exclusively in travel literature. "When a guidebook or roadmap written in English shows an autobahn between München and Nürnberg, it is attesting to local usage, because that is what the signs on the autobahn will say; Munich and Nuremberg are still the English names."

(Discuss) – Eugénie Bouchard → Eugenie Bouchard – Her first name doesn't have an accent on the "e". She said that in an interview with Tom Tebbutt (reference : http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=335765&page=5). JGab12 (talk) 22:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Mona Simpson (novelist) → Mona Simpson – The author is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the name "Mona Simpson". Mona Simpson (novelist) was viewed 36966 times in January 2012, compared to only 6286 for Mona Simpson (The Simpsons), the only other article of the title. The novelist has gotten many more page views than the Simpsons character (who is named for her) as far back as I checked. In addition, "Mona Simpson"+writer gets me 3,640 hits on Google Books and over 400 on Google News archives, compared to only 47 and 30, respectively, for "Mona Simpson"+"The Simpsons"; many of those are actually sources on the writer, mentioning that the Simpsons character is named for her. Also, for what it's worth, almost every incoming link to the Mona Simpson disambig page intends the writer.[5] The article on the Simpsons character can easily be disambiguated with a hat note.Cúchullain t/c 21:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Asheron's Call 2 → Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings – Relisted. Favonian (talk) 20:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC) There is no reason as to why this title should be shortened, as it should be denoted by its proper title, as well as the fact that it isn't an especially long title that could compromise the integrity of its encyclopedic form.

(Discuss) – Guyver (OVA) → The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor – I'm suggesting we title the page after what is actually used in the images (VHS/DVD). This title shares a similarity yet a distinction to the subsequent anime series (Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor). There have been multiple OVAs of Guyver. Guyver: Out of Control was the first one and should be disambiguated. Using 'OVA' in singular most likely refers to OoC. The topic of this article is actually a 12-episode SERIES of OVAs. If not moving it to the title, I think we should at least retitle this Guyver (OVA series) to disambiguate it from the previous OVA, which was a 1-shot and not a series.

(Discuss) – Coventry University Department of Media and Communication → Coventry University Department of Media – The name of the department has officially changed from the Department of Media and Communications to the Department of Media as of 1st January 2012 - here is the website link to the new department http://www.coventry.ac.uk/media.

(Discuss) – Mark Hammond (politician) → Mark Hammond (American politician) – This page should be a disambiguation which could also refer to Mark Hammond (Australian politician). This would follow proper format and not bias us towards America. Y12J (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Florida vs. Georgia Football Classic → Florida–Georgia football rivalry – This article's current title (decided here) was selected as the "official" name, but there's a major problem: it's almost never used. There are only around 8 total hits in the Google News archives for "Florida vs. Georgia Football Classic"[6] The City of Jacksonville itself doesn't always use it, and it's not really even treated as official.[7] The former title of "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" isn't usable either, for the reasons stated in the last request. By far the most common way of referring to the game in sources is "Florida-Georgia" or a related variant such as "Georgia-Florida", "Florida vs. Georgia", "Florida-Georgia rivaly", "Florida-Georgia game", etc. "Florida-Georgia"+football returns over 5,000 hits on Google Books, and over 11,000 in the Google News archives.[8], with many more for the individual variants. As such I propose that a descriptive title like "Florida–Georgia football rivalry" is more in line with how the game is referred to in the sources, recognizable to readers, precise, and consistent with the general practice for similar articles in Category:College football rivalries in the United States, in accordance with WP:NAMINGCRITERIA.Cúchullain t/c 16:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Sunlight → Solar radiation – Move Sunlight to solar radiation (which currently redirects back to Sunlight because as the dictionary says, the term sunlight refers specifically to the electromagnetic radiation (ER) which is visible to the human eye. We also speak of "invisible" sunlight such as the warming rays of infrared and the tanning rays of ultraviolet (UV). But wavelengths of solar radiation longer than infrared (or shorter than UV) aren't usually called "sunlight", even by scientists, are they? Sunlight should be about solar radiation which we can see by, which warms us, or which tans us (yes, and gives us skin cancer). Solar radiation should be the general article on all wavelengths of ER the sun emits. Very likely the best arrangement would be to have a section on "Sunlight" in the Solar radiation article. We can use WP:Summary style and link this small section to the larger Sunlight article. Uncle Ed (talk) 16:09, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Acceptance and commitment therapy → Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – There are now several acceptance-based or mindfulness-based therapies in applied psychology - as the article mentions, these include not only ACT, but "Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy." Even a cursory web search reveals many such references to "acceptance-based therapies," "an acceptance-based approach," etc. E.g. Acceptance-based treatment for persons with complex, long standing chronic pain: a preliminary analysis of treatment outcome in comparison to a waiting phase, Acceptance Therapy & Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ec. Thus, adopting within Wikipedia the widespread usage outside Wikipedia of proper names for these different therapies - e.g. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - will aid in distinguishing a particular therapy from the more general topic, when it may occur, of acceptance-based therapies, as well as from ad hoc mentions of a single new approach that is described as "acceptance-based" or an "acceptance therapy" but has not yet been codified further.

(Discuss) – President’s Cup → President's Cup (SOMETHING) – Per WP:PUNCT, we should use the straight (or typewriter) apostrophe ( ' ), as opposed to the curly (or typographic) apostrophe ( ’ ). But if I rename these articles, the new titles are going to require a disambiguating word or phrase in parentheses (since we have a President's Cup (disambiguation) page), and I'm unsure what it should be. Any ideas? Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
