Recent rename

Correct me if I am wrong, but the previous name, "The Doctor (The Infinity Doctors universe)" was in line with Tardis:Disambiguating other realities. Amorkuz 22:12, October 30, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, from my understanding of the policy this page shouldn't have been moved.
It's part of an overall problem where some users are using the speedy rename tag in cases where the rename isn't obvious to the admins that will be performing the move. This page had a speedy rename tag, and User:Doug86 moved it. (I've been trying to clean up the speedy renames, and specifically avoided this one because I didn't know if it deserved the speedy tag or not.)
I think that we might want to consider requiring users to give a reason for the speedy renames on the talk pages so admins who aren't familiar with the articles in question have enough information to decide if the article deserves a speedy rename tag, a rename tag, or no tag.
