- Asian Team Squash Championships → Asian Squash Team Championships (currently a redirect back to Asian Team Squash Championships) (move · discuss) – The correct order as per official tournament name OCDD (talk)
- Clark Kent (Superman & Lois) → Clark Kent (Arrowverse) (currently a redirect instead to List of Supergirl characters) (move · discuss) – This article is about the whole of the Arrowverse. Yeah, Superman and Lois is the main parts but not the whole thing. EEfamilytrees (talk)

[edit]- Concorde Bridge (Montreal) (currently a redirect to Pont de la Concorde (Montreal)) → Concorde Bridge (currently a redirect instead to Pont de la Concorde) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguation. (Note that this article's title was changed from French to English after 16.5 years due to a seemingly-unfounded accusation of vandalism.) J947 ‡ edits 02:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've left a message on the previous mover's Talk page. I'd like to figure out that weird edit summary accusation before performing this move. Toadspike [Talk] 10:18, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've reverted the recent page move, back to Pont de la Concorde (Montreal)... as far as I can tell from sources such as [1][2][3] it is reasonably common to use the French title in English works. At the very least this merits a discussion. Also, as an aside, I wouldn't support the move suggested here anyway. "Concorde Bridge" can just as easily refer to the bridge in Paris as the one in Montreal, even in English. — Amakuru (talk) 10:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Howver, Paris is French, but Montreal is bilingual English and French, so the affinity falls towards Montreal and not Paris. And Montreal English exists, even if the Provincial Government of Quebec has outlawed its use in official contexts, such as the bridge name. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 04:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- None of this is relevant to WP:COMMONNAME. Furthermore, "Concorde Bridge" is clearly ambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 17:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

- Catherine Black (actress) → Catherine Black (actor-director) (move · discuss) – actor-director more accurately describes Catherine Black's work history and profession, additionally, the term actress is gendered and divisive, and the term actor should be used instead. Catblack909 (talk) 16:51, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Not uncontroversial or technical. Proposals regarding actress/actor require full discussions for the record on talk pages. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

- Elizabeth Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch (1954–2023) → Elizabeth Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch (currently a redirect back to Elizabeth Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch (1954–2023)) (move · discuss) – It's better to disambiguate these articles by their different last names – the 20th-century duchess has a triple-barrelled last name. —KaliforniykaHi! 19:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Elizabeth Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch (1743–1827) → Elizabeth Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch (move · discuss) – It's better to disambiguate these articles by their different last names – the 18th-century duchess only had the last name Scott, as it was before the family acquired these other surnames. —KaliforniykaHi! 19:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kaliforniyka, I'm contesting this request because of a primary topic grab. They are not clearly uncontroversial for us movers, and typically involve shifting more than one page around. You will need to start a full RM, which can be done with the "discuss" button in your request. Sennecaster (Chat) 06:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
