{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
- If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here.

- Two Fingers (song) (currently a redirect to Two Fingers) → Two Fingers (move · discuss) – The artist "Two Fingers", which was formerly at that page, is an alias for Amon Tobin, which I am in the process of merging into his article. I specified the Amon Tobin alias with a hatnote on the Jake Bugg's song article. JE98 (talk) 17:09, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- Certainly the article can be merged but it should be discussed which is the primary topic for that title. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:13, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Galobtter: Fair enough, although I really don't consider this to be a primary topic issue when this is now the only topic. JE98 (talk) 18:19, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- The topic still exists - a separate page doesn't. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:21, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Galobtter: Okay, I understand what you are saying. In that case, I do find the Jake Bugg song to be more of a primary topic than Tobin's project, considering this song was a top 40 hit in the UK Singles Chart. But I am willing to discuss, I appreciate your challenging opinion. JE98 (talk) 19:12, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
