Talk:Ben White (footballer)

WP:COMMONNAME Ben vs. Benjamin
May we get a WP:COMMONNAME check on this page move? My instincts say 'Ben' but I'd rather get other opinions first. Courtesy pings off the top of my head: Thanks. Benjamin112 &#9742;  22:51, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * the player has confirmed he is 'Benjamin', not 'Ben', so the article should be Benjamin White (footballer) imho. GiantSnowman 06:50, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Benjamin White (footballer) → Ben White (footballer) – As per WP:COMMONNAME, Benjamin White should be called Ben White. An overwhelming majority of sources refer to him as Ben White, and for that reason, the Wikipedia article should be known as such. Other examples include Maximilian Meyer and Charles Austin, who are known as Max and Charlie respectively. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:39, 15 October 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.
