Appearance
If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. 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.

Administrator needed
- I.M (rapper) (currently a redirect to I.M) → I.M (move · discuss) – Per Talk:I.M (rapper)#Requested move 14 June 2022. However, the target contained an earlier version of the rapper's article, so a history merge is needed. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 04:47, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Object, this was a speedy non-admin close which didn't allow full time for discussion and WP:TITLE wasn't discussed. Reopen. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:18, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- @In ictu oculi: this discussion ran for 7 days, it was opened on the 14th and closed on the 21st this was not speedy in anyway. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 15:51, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm neutral on the outcome, but how was it a speedy close? Started 14 June 2022 and ended 21 June, so 7 days. Pinging the closer: Mellohi!. If it can't be resolved easily the escalation would be to take it to WP:MR, step 1 of which is discuss on the closer's talk page. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- I also believe that it wasn't a speedy close (since it ran for the full 7 days). And I see that WP:TITLE was called upon in the RM; the nom implicitly called for concision (by removing the disambiguator) and the supporters cited SMALLDETAILS (which is again part of WP:TITLE) to show that the proposed concise title wasn't ambiguous. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

- Billy North (currently a redirect to Bill North) → Bill North (move · discuss) – Per Talk:Billy North#Requested move 13 June 2022. History merge is needed to fix a cut-and-paste move from 2006. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 20:07, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Sam Youssef is invalid. Must create Sam Youssef before requesting that it be moved to Hossam Youssef.– Namespace is currently occupied by a redirect to someone with a different name altogether, redirect may have been made to cover possible misspellings but it is now required for a full article on a person with this actual name. A loose necktie (talk) 00:23, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose: Based on the cited sources, the current article title is the topic's WP:COMMONNAME. Proposer has not even asserted otherwise. — BarrelProof (talk) 09:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment This is now at AFD, so probably best to just decline this move request, or at least wait to see if it survives AFD. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:49, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Dakshina Kannada → Dakshina Kannada district (currently a redirect back to Dakshina Kannada) (move · discuss) – standard naming of districts in India. Eg: Bangalore Urban district, Bellary district, Kodagu district Dhruv edits (talk) 20:52, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- This one may need a discussion, given previous RMs at Talk:Dakshina Kannada#Requested move 4 May 2020 and Talk:List of districts in India#RM discussion. DanCherek (talk) 21:26, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Looking at Talk:List of districts in India#RM discussion it seems ok to move to me. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:46, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. The previous RM at Talk:List of districts in India#RM discussion had no consensus to move this, so it isn't uncontroversial. Also, I Oppose it we the qualifier is unnecessary and this is the WP:CONCISE title. — Amakuru (talk) 11:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Seems I didn't read it properly originally. I agree with Amakuru mostly, but given Category:Districts of Karnataka there is potential for this to be moved for WP:CONSISTENT. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:54, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
