Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Γ-lactone (currently a redirect to Γ-Lactone) → Γ-Lactone (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – Per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(chemistry)#Prefixes_in_titles, the first letter after the Greek prefix in chemical names should be capitalized.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- JPMorgan Chase → JPMorganChase (currently a redirect back to JPMorgan Chase) (move · discuss) – Company name changed from “JPMorgan Chase & Co.” to “JPMorganChase;” former short name for company now all one word, no space between “JPMorgan” and “Chase” Artystyk386 (talk) 07:07, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Company website at [1] still says "© 2024 JPMorgan Chase & Co." This is definitely not uncontroversial. — Amakuru (talk) 18:06, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- The request is to remove the extra space between “JPMorgan” and “Chase.” Legal name will remain JPMorgan Chase & Co., but the request is to remove the extra space from their brand name, which is what the title is currently set to. Artystyk386 (talk) 21:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Company website at [1] still says "© 2024 JPMorgan Chase & Co." This is definitely not uncontroversial. — Amakuru (talk) 18:06, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- National Board of Examinations (currently a redirect to National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences) → National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (move · discuss) – See correct name. 2409:4073:2008:774F:71B5:F6CC:916F:F48D (talk) 16:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- This does not appear to be the WP:COMMONNAME in WP:RS. See this Times of India article which refers to it as just the "National Board of Examinations (NBE)." Consider starting a WP:RM for this. C F A 💬 17:16, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I will do that. But at least create a redirect. It's the correct name.--2409:4073:2008:774F:3860:B5BF:7F3A:AFD2 (talk) 07:11, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- Objecting as programming on streaming platforms is considered television for disambiguator purposes. See the titles of The Crown (TV series), The Family Man (Indian TV series), and many others. The proposed titles do not conform to topic standards. The inclusion of OTT in the title is sufficient to distinguish from the non-OTT versions. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Sammi Brie, Fair enough. Then the below listed articles don't follow the naming conventions and recently implemented RfC on TV season article titles. Let me know your thoughts on the same.
- Bigg Boss OTT Kannada season 1 → Bigg Boss OTT (Kannada TV series) season 1
- Bigg Boss Ultimate season 1 → Bigg Boss Ultimate (Tamil TV series) season 1
- Bigg Boss Non-Stop season 1 → Bigg Boss Non-Stop (Telugu TV series) season 1
- Support the first one, not the other two, whose titles are sufficient disambiguation. There is no Bigg Boss Ultimate in any other language. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- I moved the OTT season 1 article given the lack of opposition here. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 01:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

- Tasmanian Ports Corporation (currently a redirect to TasPorts) → TasPorts (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, has traded as TasPorts since its inception. Hobelauce (talk) 03:56, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Hobelauce, some sources say TasPorts and others say the full name, so the common name is disputed. ToadetteEdit! 11:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Government of Wales Act → Wales Act (move · discuss) – WP:TITLECON, the Wales Act 2014, the Wales Act 2017 have both been passed, so the name norm has changed away from "Government of Wales Act" - currently "Wales Act" redirects to the 1978 law regarding the failed referendum, but this would be referred to on this new "Wales Act" page in the same way the failed 1978 referendum is referred to in the Scotland Act DotCoder (talk) 13:20, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DotCoder: This could potentially be controversial because there are still two acts referred to as "Government of Wales Act" which would not necessarily fit under a "Wales Act" DAB. Maybe there should be two separate DAB pages — one for "Government of Wales Acts" and one for "Wales Acts." Regardless, this is too complicated for WP:RMT, so consider starting a WP:RM.

- Kamui (1964 manga) → The Legend of Kamui (currently a redirect back to Kamui (1964 manga)) (move · discuss) – The original title of the manga is Kamui Den, but since the manga recently received an English license in North America under the title The Legend of Kamui, the official English title is better. M.A.LasTroniN910t@lk 17:34, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- @M.A.LasTroniN910: The English title is not necessarily better. In this case, sources use both titles (no obvious WP:COMMONNAME) so please start a WP:RM. C F A 💬 17:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
