During discussion in a requested move at Talk:Goran Jovanović (footballer), a discovery was made that the birth years of these two players could not be determined. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 23:44, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Requested move 10 July 2022 edit
- 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: not moved. Though I acknowledge that a move is quite widely supported, the RM itself is premature per Ellsworth's point that the birth-year controversy should be resolved first. Please feel free to re-request at any time after this issue has been sorted. Thanks. (non-admin closure) NotReallyMoniak (talk) 14:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- Support - no PRIMARYTOPIC with multiple footballers of this name, and it's standard to use 'footballer' even if a player was later a coach/manager. GiantSnowman 12:16, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose. So far as I can see, the "birth-year controversies" have not been resolved – see #Birth-year controversy above and on the other talk page. Until this birth year can be firmly verified, Wikipedia should not title pages with possibly false information. WP:NCSP, backed by community consensus, is crystal clear on what to do when birth dates cannot be determined, as shown in the November 2021 move request. P.I.

- Comment. Gentle reminder that move requests are NOTAVOTE, so even though there is growing local support for these page moves, closers should strongly consider that sources are all mixed up when it comes to the birth years of this footballer/football coach and of the other footballer by the same name. The community consensus at WP:NCSP should help determine these outcomes. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'r there 22:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
