Uncontroversial technical requests
- President of the Kurdistan Region (currently a redirect to President of Kurdistan Region) → President of Iraqi Kurdistan (currently a redirect instead to President of Kurdistan Region) (move · discuss) – It should be moved for the sake of consistency with already moved Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan. Sundostund (talk) 04:13, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Irish Catholic (currently a redirect to Irish Catholics) → Irish Catholics (move · discuss) – More common usage and for continuity with other group articles. See Irish Americans, Ulster Protestants, etc. -- Hrodvarsson (talk) 23:21, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- Orkkapurathu (currently a redirect to Orkkappurathu) → Orkkappurathu (move · discuss) – There's an additional "p" as shown in film. Title at 00:17. Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 16:52, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- 2017 Fort Lauderdale airport shooting (currently a redirect to Fort Lauderdale airport shooting) → Fort Lauderdale airport shooting (move · discuss) – Unique event, so there is no need for the disambiguation, per WP:PRECISE and WP:CONCISE. The disambiguation misleadingly suggests that there have been more shootings at that airport. Surtsicna (talk) 11:43, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- Raymond Chan Chi-chuen → Chan Chi-chuen (currently a redirect back to Raymond Chan Chi-chuen) (move · discuss) – (1) His official name is Chan Chi-chuen without the English name as shown in [1]. (2) We seldom use the "English name + Chinese family name + Chinese given name" format but usually either go with "English name + Chinese family name" such as Donald Tsang or simply "Chinese family name + Chinese given name" such as Leung Chun-ying or Hui Chi-fung. Lmmnhn (talk) 10:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- Xavier Dorfmann (currently a redirect to Xavier Dorfman) → Xavier Dorfman (move · discuss) – he apparently writes his name with only one “n” and there are other independent sources with this variant (see talk page on article) GrahamHardy (talk) 09:28, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
