  • More than a GameMore Than a Game – (Discuss) – Contra the undiscussed 2014 move citing MOS:CT, all but the first (ha) reliable source in this search uses uppercase. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 22:27, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • September 2022 Armenia–Azerbaijan clashesAttack of Azerbaijan on Armenia – (Discuss) – I have not seen a single reliable source saying that Armenia attacked Azerbaijan. But multiple reliable sources say the opposite. Various sources describe the events as an “invasion”, “offensive”, “attack”, or “assault.” There is consensus that Azerbaijan was the one who initiated the hostilities. Some talk about “Azerbaijan’s Invasion of Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Offensive on Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Attack on Armenia”, but they all agree on one thing: Azerbaijan was the initiator of the clash, and it was Azerbaijan who attacked. Therefore, the title “Attack of Azerbaijan on Armenia” perfectly reflects the vast majority of reliable sources and is the least ambiguous. I will provide the overwhelming evidence below: * Human Rights Watch:  :The killings took place during fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces that broke out in mid-September, when Azerbaijan made incursions into Armenia...” * Genocide Watch:  :“Azerbaijani military attacks on Armenian territory show Azerbaijani disregard for Armenian sovereignty.” * Freedom House:  :“Freedom House Condemns Azerbaijani Attacks on Armenia”  :“The Azerbaijani armed forces must immediately cease their deadly attacks on Armenian territory” * Axel Gehring, Ph.D., political scientist and expert in the field of foreign and security policy and researcher at the Institute for Critical Social Analysis of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Berlin:  :“On September 13, regular Azerbaijani troops launched a large-scale attack on Armenian territory. This attack took tensions between the countries to a new level.” * Laurence Broers is a specialist in conflicts in the Transcaucasus, founder of the scientific journal Caucasus Survey:  :"Azerbaijan's recent attack seeks to enforce terms in negotiations with Armenia" “ The recent large-scale cross-border attacks inside Armenia by Azerbaijan...” * Maximilian Hess, Research Fellow for Central Asia at the Foreign Policy Institute, in Foreign Policy magazine:  :“Azerbaijani forces who marched into Armenia continue to occupy part of its territory, in particular heights around the town of Jermuk.” * David L. Phillips, conflict analyst in The National Interest:  :“The United States criticized Azerbaijan's recent attacks on Armenia proper” * European Parliament Resolution:  :“Strongly condemns the latest military aggression by Azerbaijan on September 12, 2022 on the sovereign territory of Armenia”  :“calls on the Azerbaijani authorities, therefore, to immediately withdraw from all parts of the territory of Armenia “ * Wojciech Gorecki, senior researcher at the Department of Turkey, Caucasus and Central Asia:  :“in September 2022 Azerbaijan attacked targets located on Armenian territory.” * The Guardian:  : “This week, with attention focused across the Black Sea in Ukraine, fighting on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia killed about 100 troops after Azerbaijan shelled a number of towns in Armenia, with both sides accusing each other of “provocations”.” * Der Spiegel:  : “Peace negotiations mediated by the European Union have been at an impasse since Baku also attacked territory in the Republic of Armenia in September 2022.” * TIME:  : “...democratic nation that was recently invaded by its authoritarian neighbor”  : “...but also Armenia, which has been suffering from Azerbaijan's invasion for almost three weeks now.” * BBC:  : “I don’t think anyone doubts that Azerbaijan started this operation on the territory of Armenia. Even Azerbaijani commentators admit this. Armenia is currently weak, has little interest in disrupting the status quo.” * Eurasianet  :"Azerbaijan launches large-scale attacks on Armenia"  :“Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack on targets in Armenia, an unprecedented expansion of the long-running conflict into Armenian territory.” * Michael Rubin, senior researcher at AIP:  :“Last week, Azerbaijan attacked Armenia proper. (Last week Azerbaijan attacked Armenia directly)” * Paul Stronski is a senior fellow in the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Programs, specializing in Russia and the South Caucasus:  : “..the fact that Russia is preoccupied, certainly led to what looks like an Azerbaijani offensive at this time”  : “And what we even saw just in the last few days is actually attacks inside and shelling inside cities inside Armenia, not just along the border." * Kapil Komireddy, political columnist for The Telegraph:  : “But so little about Azerbaijan's attack, which goes beyond the disputed territory of Karabakh and targets Armenia proper.” *Seth Franzman, Middle East analyst for The Jerusalem Post , contributor to Defense News, The National Interest and Digest of Middle East Studies:  :“Attacks on Armenia represent dangerous escalation” *Carnegie Europe:  :“Nearly 300 soldiers died in a large-scale Azerbaijani incursion into the territory of Armenia on September 13-14.” Vanezi (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • LennaLenna image – (Discuss) – "Lenna" is the primary topic for the term Lenna. However commonly recognized name for "Lenna" is Lenna image. This is also happily WP:NATURAL disambiguation. Schierbecker (talk) 21:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kyle AllenKyle Allen (American football) – (Discuss) – Not primary over Kyle Allen (actor) by usage. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 19:02, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Umm FahadDeath of Umm Fahad – (Discuss) – As per WP:BLP1E, the notable subject here is her death. RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. ToadetteEdit! 18:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ulterior MotivesUlterior Motives (film) – (Discuss) – Unlikely to be the primary topic. 2A00:23C6:8809:A301:E4D0:DB64:6AE8:A175 (talk) 16:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bidar SultanateBarid Shahi dynasty – (Discuss) – Bidar Sultanate is a PoV fabricated named, whereas Barid Shahi dynasty is more common per Ngram [1]. Note the fact that Ngram is not even available for Bidar Sultanate. Imperial[AFCND] 13:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Berar SultanateImad Shahi dynasty – (Discuss) – Berar Sultanate is more likely a fabricated PoV name, even Ngram is not available for Berar Sultanate [2]. Commonname per reliable publishers, and more appropriate to name for a Dynasty. Imperial[AFCND] 13:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ahmadnagar SultanateNizam Shahi dynasty – (Discuss) – Per Ngram viewer [3] Nizam Shahi dynasty is more commonly used. Nizam Shahi dynasty is more popularly used in much major reliable publishers. WP:NPOV is another reason for the proposal. Imperial[AFCND] 13:27, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • WICWIC program – (Discuss) – This had been moved in 2009 with Talk:WIC/Archive 1#Requested move after a rather weak consensus with very few participants. The argument back then revolved around Google Search results, but there was no note of even trying to use pws=0 (meaning we could have just been seeing the proposer's personal search results) nor was there a coherent discussion on why general search results are more relevant than the use and significance of the other meanings of the term. Only one other person participated, and they proposed WIC (nutrition program) as they recognized the ambiguity. As the references to the US government program often come as part of the phrase with the word "program", I suggest we switch to using that. A number of other topics from WIC (disambiguation) seem to have comparable usage and significance, cf. all-time views of all of those items, notably the Dutch West India Company. So it's not at all clear that the nutrition program would overshadow the sum of these; we should restore disambiguation and observe the clickstreams to gauge the actual reader interest (something we also couldn't do in '09).

  • Gastric acidGastric juice – (Discuss) – Gastric acid is one component of gastric juice not an aka. Iztwoz (talk) 09:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jehovah's Witnesses publicationsList of Jehovah's Witnesses publications – (Discuss) – I boldly moved this page to List of Jehovah's Witnesses publications but Jeffro77 objected after I did so. In order to be responsible with my extended rights, I have thus undone my undiscussed move. I think that this page clearly meets the defition of a list article and should therefore meet Wikipedia:Naming conventions (lists) and start with "List of", like List of Watch Tower Society publications. It's possible I'm reaching too far here given this article has more prose. If so, I welcome the input of other editors. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hedwig of HolsteinHelvig of Holstein – (Discuss) – Helvig is more common in English language as indicated by sources collected above in #Sources. However, the number of sources is so small that WP:USENATIVE might be applicable; this would also favor Helvig. The suggested name would also disambiguate this person from another Hedvig of Holstein, the mother of Christian I, who AFAIK is never referred to as 'Helvig' (See sources at Talk:Hedvig of Holstein). Jähmefyysikko (talk) 05:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • UFL Championship GameUFL championship game – (Discuss) – Not usually capped in sources, so per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS we should not treat these as proper names. Dicklyon (talk) 02:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
