- Star Life (Latin American TV channel) → Star Life (Latin America) (currently a redirect back to Star Life (Latin American TV channel)) (move · discuss) – There's no other notable use of the "Star Life" brand in Latin America apart from the TV channel. Intrisit (talk) 14:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Seoul Capital Area → Seoul Metropolitan Area (currently a redirect back to Seoul Capital Area) (move · discuss) – Official name as per the National Atlas of Korea III 2021 by the National Geography Information Institute, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

edit- Disney Junior (Southeast Asian TV channel) → Disney Junior (Southeast Asia) (currently a redirect back to Disney Junior (Southeast Asian TV channel)) (move · discuss) – "Disney Junior/Jr." is a TV channel by definition. The "TV channel" DAB is unnecessary. Intrisit (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- There's Disney Jr. (programming block), which is not a TV channel, so the current disambiguation tag is correct. See WP:NCBC. 162 etc. (talk) 19:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- The programming block is for the original American Disney Channel only! If there are other programming blocks with this name, none are as notable as this, hence/thus has its own article! This is for Southeast Asia, which may or may not have a programming block with this name, but like I stated, it'll be non-notable compared to this one. Intrisit (talk) 12:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- Three (3) RMs (1, 2 & 3) have been (already) done for similar but different titles. If 162 etc. answers my question, de-list as withdrawn and I'll start an RfC on it like Gonnym stated in those RMs. Intrisit (talk) 12:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Three RMs that should've been relisted for further participation or closed as "no consensus" once the arguably WP:Canvassed participant was discounted don't exactly strongly support a broad renaming of all related articles. RachelTensions (talk) 15:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- After School (EP) → After School (Melanie Martinez EP) (currently a redirect back to After School (EP)) (move · discuss) – There are other older EPs with the same title as Melanie Martinez's "After School," such as Whiteberry's debut EP "After School." I believe Melanie's page doesn't deserve to be called just "After School (EP)" as she was not the first one at all to call one of her EPs that specific term. Here is the most viable source I could find to prove that there WAS an EP made before hers called "After School." I also think it is important to bring attention to this as some of the songs on Whiteberry's EP would go on to be remade by the band later, thus making it an important part of the band's history, aside from being their very first release YoukaiJSGB (talk) 14:11, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- @YoukaiJSGB See WP:ALBUMDAB. C F A 15:09, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- The Whiteberry EP does not currently have an article. WP:ALBUMDAB: "Unless more than one article about albums of the same name exist, there is no need to disambiguate any further."Unless the Whiteberry EP gains an article then the Melanie Martinez EP is fine in its current location.

- Slab-grave culture → Slab Grave culture (currently a redirect back to Slab-grave culture) (move · discuss) – correcting title to be in line with accepted scientific naming conventions for archaeological cultures and for the dominant term in relevant literature Laerodar (talk) 23:31, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Laerodar: please click "discuss" above to start a discussion. This article has been moved in other direction in 2022, so it is not uncontroversial and requires a full discussion. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- Disney XD (Polish TV channel) → Disney XD (Poland) (currently a redirect back to Disney XD (Polish TV channel)) (move · discuss) – Removal of the "TV channel" DABber per the RM Talk:Disney XD (United Kingdom and Ireland). Intrisit (talk) 14:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- The Travelling Companion → The Traveling Companion (currently a redirect back to The Travelling Companion) (move · discuss) – Simple spelling error. The story is linked to from Hans Christian Andersen's page but appears missing even though that page exists just under a different name Mathspy (talk) 15:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- This looks like a WP:ENGVAR issue to me, not a spelling error. Hans Christian Andersen uses British English, so presumably all his associated articles should follow suit for consistency's sake ("Travelling") unless there are reliable sources to reinforce moving it to "Traveling", which would be the American spelling. RachelTensions (talk) 16:05, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I am aware Hans wrote in Danish not in British English, it looks like the original translation was done by a British translator though (source) so I am willing to accept that as the spelling of the English translation and remove that request in case that's how translation are handled on Wikipedia Mathspy (talk) 16:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, by "Hans Christian Andersen uses British English" I meant the article Hans Christian Andersen is written in British English, not the author himself. RachelTensions (talk) 16:56, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
