Contested technical requests
- Help (Papa Roach song) → Help (song) (currently a redirect instead to Help) (move · discuss) – No other song article by that title per WP:SONGDAB / Disambiguated from "Help!" (song) per WP:DIFFPUNCT JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 02:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- This was under "Requests to revert undiscussed moves", but I see no previous undiscussed move. This also looks ambiguous with Help (Beatles song). — BarrelProof (talk) 03:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- In theory, the Beatles song is differentiated under WP:SMALLDETAILS since it includes an exclamation point in its title. However, SMALLDETAILS questions have historically been contentious, so I think this move would need to go through the full RM process. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 13:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- This was under "Requests to revert undiscussed moves", but I see no previous undiscussed move. This also looks ambiguous with Help (Beatles song). — BarrelProof (talk) 03:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Paola e Chiara (currently a redirect to Paola & Chiara) → Paola & Chiara (move · discuss) – Incorrect title — Preceding unsigned comment added by JackkBrown (talk • contribs)
- @JackkBrown: While the Google search results are close, the current title does have a bit of an edge on the proposed title. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 16:08, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Gaza War (2008–2009) → 2008-2009 Gaza War (currently a redirect back to Gaza War (2008–2009)) (move · discuss) – Going through RM, even though this is minor, because of the contentious subject matter. Request move to match the year + location + event format of other articles in this series, such as 2014 Gaza War, 2023 Gaza–Israel clashes, among others. Longhornsg (talk) 15:40, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Longhornsg: I think you mistakenly made a WP:RMTR request. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 16:11, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Sick (2022 film) → Sick (film) (currently a redirect instead to Sick) (move · discuss) – No other film article by this title per WP:NCFILMDAB JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 14:11, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- @JohnCWiesenthal: A discussion was held and the decision did not result in a move. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 14:18, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
