- West Huntspill (village) (currently a redirect to West Huntspill) → West Huntspill (move · discuss) – No need for DAB per WP:UKPLACE and WP:PRECISION, basename just redirects to village in the parish. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:54, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- 2008–2009 Singur farmers' protest (currently a redirect to Tata Nano Singur controversy) → Tata Nano Singur controversy (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME Tayi Arajakate Talk 03:17, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

- King's Bishop's Gambit is invalid. Must create King's Bishop's Gambit before requesting that it be moved to Bishop's Gambit.– The standard name for this chess opening is "Bishop's Gambit", not "King's Bishop's Gambit". Bishop's Gambit is a variation of the King's Gambit, and currently there is a redirect for Bishop's Gambit which points to the appropriate subsection on that page. Need to move King's Bishop's Gambit to Bishop's Gambit over the redirect. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 05:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Lemon Grove Incident → Roberto Alvarez v. Board of Trustees of the Lemon Grove School District (currently a redirect back to Lemon Grove Incident) (move · discuss) – This is the correct legal case name, the current title is title of movie Zezinez (talk) 02:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

- Amway River Bank Run → River Bank Run (currently a redirect back to Amway River Bank Run) (move · discuss) – Title sponsor does not need to be in the title per Wikipedia:Official names. Redirect with history blocking move. SFB 21:36, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose seems to be the genuine common name here. When I search just "River Bank Run" most results are for the current article title. (t · c) buidhe 14:09, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Roxas,_Capiz (currently a redirect to Roxas City) → Roxas City (move · discuss) – in the name should not be included province name Capiz. the official name is Roxas City. Having colloquial names causes confusion. Please don't use colloquial names Peter Hanusiak (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose this is the usual means of disambiguating a human settlement name. (t · c) buidhe 14:10, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
