March 2024

 * Progressive Party (United States, 1912–1920): nominated at RM; New name: Bull Moose Party 01:24, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Easily the WP:COMMONNAME. Ancient mumbling ignorant of that policy does not contested consensus make.
 * Comparison of US and Chinese Military Armed Forces: nominated at AfD 00:04, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Seems wholly synthetic and redundant as far as lists go.
 * Talk:East Asian Gothic typeface: nominated at RM; New name: Gothic typeface 18:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The only worry may be conflation with the items listed at Gothic script, but I think this is a safe WP:NATURAL decision.
 * Chinese language and varieties in the United States: nominated at RM; New name: Chinese languages in the United States 09:59, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I understand why both "language" and "varieties" are offered in the title, but it's redundant and imperfect any way you slice it: I see "languages" as the best compromise between "language", "varieties", etc.

April 2024

 * Template talk:Transliteration: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Translit 18:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The extra eration really contributes to a readability issue when there are lists, tables, or any preponderance of this template in an article—I get that is undesirably ambiguous, but frankly: the shorter the better. I would even prefer  if other people will let me get away with it.No one in the 2022 move discussion mentioned an explicit issue with, so hopefully folks would be okay with it now.
 * Category:Independant Native American countries: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 22:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Or plausibly, just a rename to correct the spelling error. Redundant at best with other categories, the notion of a "country" as we understand it seems dangerously nebulous and unattested in several member articles here.
 * Talk:Sheng nu: nominated at RM; New name: Sheng nü 03:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per the reasoning of several previous moves, the predominant Hanyu Pinyin romanization system treats nü and nu as different syllables, and I do not feel WP:COMMONNAME can be enough of a reason to keep the confusing, unsystematic name in this case.

May 2024

 * 君: nominated at RfD; Target: Japanese honorifics (notified); notified 23:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This character functions as a pronoun and honorific in Literary Chinese, whence the Japanese sense. I do not just want to redirect it to a Chinese article, but I don't think a disambiguation page is warranted either.
 * Ancient United States: nominated at RfD; Target: Pre-Columbian era (notified); notified 08:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: It's a bad redirect, folks.
 * Category:Chinese retired emperors: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Chinese emperors who abdicated; notified 06:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: More clear, consistent with related categories.
 * Template:Electronic writing: nominated at TfD; notified 11:56, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Pretty unacceptable in its current state in its purpose within Template:List of writing systems.
 * Talk:Sino-Xenic pronunciations: nominated at RM; New name: Sino-Xenic pronunciations 14:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This article would seem mighty shallow if it were merely about phonology, surely it's also about the morphemes in the context of the sinographosphere?
 * Talk:One half: nominated at RM; New name: One-half 13:18, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per MOS:FRAC: Spelled-out fractions are hyphenatedLike, it looks a bit weird to me, but I'm sure it will look normal as an article title if I keep staring at it.

June 2024

 * ICanHazPDF: nominated at AfD; notified 15:16, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A hashtag used 4 times in 2015 with two fluff pieces written about it fails GNG.
 * Ming (typefaces): nominated at RM; New name: Ming typefaces 02:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per WP:NATURAL.
 * Indo-European ablaut: nominated at RM; New name: Ablaut 20:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: It's the natural WP:COMMONNAME in English, being adequately specific and more concise.
 * Category:Languages with ISO 639-3 code: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 10:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Largely redundant, as all major languages and most languages with millions of speakers have one. If we do decide this is a useful category, 'rename to Category:Languages with ISO 639-3 codes.
 * Talk:Macau: nominated at RM; New name: Macao 14:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per the preliminary discussions above, it seems there's actually a solid case on WP:COMMONNAME (+ WP:OFFICIAL) grounds for this rename. Let's see where it goes.
 * Category:Pioneers of Israel: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 03:14, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This seems like it could plausibly renamed, refocused, or deleted. Obviously it's a coherent group, but is it an encyclopedic one as it stands?

July 2024

 * Sporgery: nominated at AfD; notified 22:06, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Wholly non-notable, and seemingly not a clearly independent concept. I think this article only exists for the very incidental Scientology connection.
 * Unequal treaty: nominated at RM; New name: Unequal treaties 17:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Usually referred to in the plural, per WP:NCPLURAL
 * Unequal treaty: nominated at RM; New name: Unequal treaties 18:01, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Usually referred to in the plural as a collection, per WP:NCPLURAL.
 * Unequal treaty: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Unequal treaties 18:03, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Usually referred to in the plural as a collection, per WP:NCPLURAL.
 * Unequal treaty: nominated at RM; New name: Unequal treaties 18:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Usually referred to in the plural as a collection, per WP:NCPLURAL.
 * Wu shu (historical text): nominated at RM; New name: Book of Wu 19:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Seems in line with each of our other dynastic history articles.
