Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Uncontroversial technical requests
- Chaaram (currently a redirect to Charam) → Charam (move · discuss) – This is the correct spelling, as used in the film's opening credits. Also IMBD lists the film with this spelling Malayala Sahityam (talk) 14:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)]

Contested technical requests
- Fall River Marksmen (currently a redirect to Fall River F.C. (1922–1931)) → Fall River F.C. (currently a redirect instead to Fall River F.C. (1932)) (move · discuss) – There is a previously moved article called Fall River F.C. that has been moved to Fall River F.C. (1932). So the redirect is currently occupied preventing Fall River Marksmen moving there. -- Libro0 (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)]
- Hi, would you please be able to show evidence that the club from the 1920's should be at the base title, while the one from the 1930's should have a disambiguator? As opposed to, for example, a dabpage at the base title? Dr. Vogel (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

- I'm not sure I can provide evidence to that effect. I can provide countless references to what the team's official name is. The other team played a season in 1932 and was significantly less notable. I can provide citations in their respective articles. It would help me to organize these articles which need more attention. The 1920's team was quite notable and had the name much longer. This information is shown in these articles. Titling articles with nicknames should be avoided because I have renamed an article that had a totally erroneous nickname while other teams have had several nicknames over different periods.

- I left it here because I'm on the fence and I wanted to see more opinions. My gut feeling with this one is that a dabpage or even a merge would be better than moving one of the 2 clubs to the base title, but I could be persuaded either way. Dr. Vogel (talk) 13:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- wp:commonname. "economics" is used in virtually all RS, very few use "effect". Only 1 RS in use on the article uses "effect". HC (talk) 20:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)]
- This ngram would suggest that the current title is marginally the common name. So I don't think this is Uncontroversial. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 07:47, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose: This seems to be an WP:ENGVAR matter. Apparently, "enrolment" is the British spelling and "enrollment" is the American spelling. This is discussed explicitly at American and British English spelling differences § Doubled in American English. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:58, 10 March 2023 (UTC)]

- Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana (currently a redirect to Ratmalana Airport) → Ratmalana International Airport (currently a redirect instead to Ratmalana Airport) (move · discuss) – Current title is not the most common one and it's also conflicting with the main international airport in Colombo 2001:878:0:E000:82:E2:A1:33 (talk) 08:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC)]
- Although I agree with you that the title you're proposing makes more sense than the actual name of the airport, that's the name supported by all the sources. And the move you're referring to was done 10 years ago. Dr. Vogel (talk) 20:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- In addition, there was another move last year. This is a ]
