Uncontroversial technical requests
- Conyer's Green, Suffolk (currently a redirect to Conyer's Green) → Conyer's Green (move · discuss) – No need for DAB per WP:UKPLACE and WP:PRECISION, base name already redirects here and there don't appear to be any others. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:02, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Good Job (Alicia Keys song) (currently a redirect to Good Job (song)) → Good Job (song) (move · discuss) – unnecessary disambiguation Richhoncho (talk) 18:04, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Draft:List of professional wrestling attendance records in the Canada is invalid. Must create Draft:List of professional wrestling attendance records in the Canada before requesting that it be moved to Draft:List of professional wrestling attendance records in Canada.– Fixing typo 173.162.220.17 (talk) 16:27, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Chop Suey! (song) (currently a redirect to Chop Suey!) → Chop Suey! (move · discuss) – There is no other thing that is called exactly "Chop Suey!", and it is very unlikely that someone will search "Chop Suey!" with an exclamation point to look for the food. I believe that "Chop Suey!" should become a redirect from unnecessary disambiguation. "Chop Suey!" already redirects to the page for the song anyway. JJPMaster (talk) 12:45, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Toilet (room) → Toilet room (currently a redirect back to Toilet (room)) (move · discuss) – Toilets are not types of rooms. They are bathroom equipments used for disposal of human urines and feces. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Draft:T'Challa (Marvel Cinematic Universe) (currently a redirect to T'Challa (Marvel Cinematic Universe)) → T'Challa (Marvel Cinematic Universe) (move · discuss) – Target page is currently a redirect. The draft has been incubated for some time and appears ready to be published into the mainspace with sufficient citations and real-world significance, even as a fictional character from a movie. --WuTang94 (talk) 02:01, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- @WuTang94: I think in order to do this, the original draft will need to be submitted for review, and then any page move issues can be dealt with if the draft is accepted to mainspace.
If you can't submit it yourself, I can do it for you if in order.I have submitted it for review anyway - I'll try and review it myself in due course if noone else picks it up. Kadzi (talk) 09:53, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- 2016 Nagorno-Karabakh skirmishes (currently a redirect to 2016 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict) → 2016 Nagorno-Karabakh clashes (currently a redirect instead to 2016 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict) (move · discuss) – The article has seen a whole bunch of different undiscussed moves starting from 30 september. Please return it to the previous stable title. Staberinde (talk) 10:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Madonna and Child with Saints → Madonna and Child with Saints (Agostino Carracci) (move · discuss) – Reason for earlier move ("disambiguator not needed") is false: there are (and were at the time of the move) eleven other articles using this precise title, no clear primary topic, and a disambiguation page is needed. The only reason I can't make this move myself is a single category-adding edit by the editor who made the move. —ShelfSkewed Talk 16:01, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
