The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: WITHDRAWN. Ortizesp (talk) 15:35, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

– Standardizing to WP:COMMONNAME as per external links and references. For footballers matching up to convention. Ortizesp (talk) 19:16, 30 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose for the basketball player and footballers per WP:NATURAL. Looking at the baskerball player, all their other language wiki articles are at Francisco Sérgio García, and not Fransérgio too. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:39, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

- WP:NATURAL says not to use obscure or made up names, for the footballers they generally use their WP:COMMONNAME. For most of these, their full legal name is only obscurely used and not in common conversation. Also, their full legal names don't disambiguate, or make it easier to find the page.@Lugnuts:--Ortizesp (talk) 18:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support move of Francisco Javier López García → Francisco López (footballer, born 1950) but oppose the rest per Lugnuts. @Ortizesp: I have advised you previously not to group so many RMs together and this is a prime example of why. GiantSnowman 12:21, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
- These are all sportspersons named "Francisco Garcia", and all examples of WP:COMMONNAME not being used.@GiantSnowman:--Ortizesp (talk) 18:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Comment: Neither support nor oppose nomination the way it is delivered for comment. The nomination is an example of a loaded question and, while not exactly akin to the proverbial "Have you stopped beating your wife?", it is acutely along those lines. These are 7 totally different articles (as opposed to, for example, 7 in a series of similar articles) bearing no connection among themselves other than convenience for nominating them, and should be split into as close to 7 separate nominations as possible.

Oppose move of Francisco Sérgio García. Not enough evidence. No mention of "Fransérgio" at his Olympic.org or FIBA.com profiles.—Bagumba (talk) 12:38, 3 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
