Uncontroversial technical requests
- The Creeps (Camille Jones song) (currently a redirect to The Creeps (song)) → The Creeps (song) (move · discuss) – Only one song called "The Creeps". Other songs are "The Creep (song)" and "The Creeps (Get on the Dancefloor)". JE98 (talk) 22:05, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Arrondissements of Paris → Districts of Paris (currently a redirect back to Arrondissements of Paris) (move · discuss) – 'Districts' is the most acceptable English translation for 'Arrondissement'. There are few redirects to manage after, as the pages linking to the new namespace are speaking of districts (administrative subdivisions) anyway. TP ✎ ✓ 21:10, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
