Christian "Chrigel" Maurer → ? – Having "" in the name is not standard. If Chrigel is his WP:COMMONNAME, then article should be at Chrigel Maurer, else it should probably be at Christian Maurer, or maybe one of his nicknames if those are the common name. This seems similar to how we moved Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards to Eddie the Eagle a few years ago. The current name is not encyclopedic, but I don't have enough subject knowledge to work out the proper common name. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:44, 30 June 2023 (UTC)


 * It seems that both Chrigel Maurer and Christian Maurer are commonly used to refer to him. Apparently Chrigel is a common form of "Christian" in the region where he grew up. His own web page calls him Chrigel Maurer, so I would be fine with moving to that name. Crum375 (talk) 09:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, typing "chrigel vs christian maurer" into Google gives a lot of insight into the issue. Crum375 (talk) 09:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Having reviewed WP policies and guidelines, I see that Babe Ruth is a good example. That case is somewhat similar, and based on it we should use the name Chrigel Maurer, with the opening text being (as now, no change):
 * "Christian "Chrigel" Maurer (born 1982), also known as..."


 * So I can move the page to that name as soon as we close this discussion. Thanks, Crum375 (talk) 09:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Move to Chrigel Maurer. Appears to be his common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:43, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
