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:..."

  • To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

    {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}

    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
  • If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
The consensus was to keep the primary redirect, not to move the article. 162 etc. (talk) 05:41, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unless and until the French writer has an article on the English Wikipedia, this article title is unambiguous. Adding "Peralta" simply for the sake of disambiguation also violates WP:COMMONNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This should go through AFC in my opinion. I have my doubts of whether it would survive a deletion discussion. EggRoll97 (talk) 23:14, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have never gone through AFC unless a WP:COI. On what grounds would this be deleted. It should be clear that an influencer is different than an Internet celebrity, which is the point. Some internet celebrities are not influencers and some influencers are not internet celebrities. Thus, we need a new article. This is stub/start territory, but not AFD territory.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyTheTiger The place to discuss this would be the talk page for Internet celebrity. I see you tried and got no response, but you didn't use WP:PROPSPLIT, which would help. You could also let various related wikiprojects know about the discussion. -- asilvering (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TonyTheTiger is well past the autoconfirmed threshhold and unlikely to have a CoI here. I fail to see why this would need to go through AfC, as AfC encourages established editors to create articles on their own. --Ahecht (TALK

Three editors have already expressed WP:N concerns, so this should definitely be discussed somewhere, and WP:RMT is not the best place for that. I see OP has opened a thread at Talk:Internet celebrity#Splitting article, but no discussion ensued. 162 etc. (talk) 16:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, but AFC isn't the best place for that either. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:59, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Main issue I see here is that content from Internet celebrity would need to be moved to the new article as well, rather than just a new page. As asilvering put it, proposing through PROPSPLIT would make most sense here, as I don't doubt there is enough content that already exists on IC to move to Inlufencer. Best of luck with it.

  • Nicholas Nelson (Jamaican footballer) → Nicholas Nelson (currently a redirect instead to Nick Nelson) (move · discuss) – Current page for "Nicholas Nelson" is a redirect to a character from the movie and graphic novel Heartstopper. While the character is more popular than the soccer player, it makes sense for the person with the name "Nicholas Nelson" to have the base, non-disambiguated page name with a hat note to the character. Happy to discuss further. Debartolo2917 (talk) 04:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It would make more sense IMO for "Nicholas Nelson" to go to the dab page Nick Nelson listing two other people who could be called Nicholas Nelson. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:05, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll note that all incoming links to Nicholas Nelson appear to be soccer-related. 162 etc. (talk) 05:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Debartolo2917: This request is contested. You can click "discuss" to open an RM. SilverLocust 💬 04:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • SkyDrive (eVTOL) (currently a redirect to SkyDrive (company)) → SkyDrive (move · discuss) – There is only one article titled SkyDrive, so the disambiguator is unnecessary. SkyDrive is currently a dab page, but the only other page it points to is OneDrive, which was formerly named SkyDrive. Once moved, there should be a hatnote at the top of SkyDrive directing readers to OneDrive. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With SkyDrive being the former name of OneDrive until 10 years ago, discussion is needed for usurping the SkyDrive title. GTrang (talk) 04:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SkyDrive (company)? That's the best I can think of. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 00:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
