[edit]- United Nations Military Observer Group in Kashmir → United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (currently a redirect back to United Nations Military Observer Group in Kashmir) (move · discuss) – To reflect the official name and full scope of the mission. Redirect was already exist on official name so created article on alternative name Ainty Painty (talk) 03:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- It seems to me like this should just be merged into UN mediation of the Kashmir dispute. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 19:31, 20 August 2024 (UTC)- I don’t think so. Since my request is uncontroversial and this is not the appropriate place for a merger proposal, and considering that the article is notable enough to be retained, as evidenced by similar articles see Category:United Nations Military Observers, I will continue to work on expanding and improving the newly started article to meet the required standards. Additionally the two articles cover different topics: one is about UN mediation of disputes, while the other is about an active military observer group.

- @Ainty Painty I brought it up because the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan article used to exist, but there was an unanswered talk page proposal by Kautilya3 at Talk:UN_mediation_of_the_Kashmir_dispute#Page_title to move it to UN mediation of the Kashmir dispute, where it has remained stable for 7 years. That's why United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan redirected to the "UN mediation" page until your recent change. Given the silent consensus, splitting off the Observer Group and usurping the previous title of the UN mediation page is not uncontroversial. --Ahecht (TALK

- Saint Joseph Cathedral (Nueva Ecija) → San Jose Cathedral (Nueva Ecija) (currently a redirect back to Saint Joseph Cathedral (Nueva Ecija)) (move · discuss) – Common naming custom of article names of Spanish-language Philippine cities where cathedrals or churches are located Crear2000 (talk) 00:42, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Crear2000: All of the English sources in the article (both official and independent) use St. Joseph Cathedral or variations on that. Is there some discussion you can point to that Philippine cathedrals should be named "[City] Cathedral" regardless of their WP:COMMONNAME in English sources?

- @Crear2000 This is not uncontroversial. Sanglahi86 had requested the move to the current name last week, and was backed up by reliable sources (including the dedication plaque on the cathedral itself). --Ahecht (TALK
