Can the Tomson please be removed from this? It is Kirsty Howat not Thomson-Howat? 81.145.194.98 (talk) 08:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Kirsty Howat-Thomson → Kirsty Howat – Unsure where the 'Thomson' comes from or why it is included in the page title. Even if it is her legal name - and I don't know if it is - it isn't mentioned in the article text or any of the cited sources, and she is only listed as Howat by Rangers, the SFA, Soccerway, etc., and on her own social media.

 * Support I have found sources that say her surname is Howat-Thomson, but not a majority. Page should be moved but this surname should be mentioned in a footnote. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support with the same reservation as @Snowmanonahoe. I think we can close the discussion here per WP:SNOW; what happens to "Thomson" in the article could be further discussed, but the move itself appears completely uncontroversial. Since the editor making the original request is an IP editor, it might have been more appropriate to use a technical move request, which doesn't come with the recommended 7-day discussion period. I really don't see how anyone could reasonably object to this move, so I will give it a little more time and then implement the request. Actualcpscm (talk) 10:55, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. Since I expressed support for the request, I'm an involved editor and shouldn't close it. Good morning to me. Actualcpscm (talk) 12:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per COMMONNAME.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:33, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. GiantSnowman 11:49, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support and Comment per COMMONNAME I support. I notice the proposer says Soccerway lists her only as Howat, but it actually shows both names in the full name section. Wikipedia convention for footballers would be to have the article name as the common name (only howitt), but the full name shown in the fullname parameter in the infobox and in the name opening of the article (with the thomson) RedPatch (talk) 22:56, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Good point - I missed the full name on Soccerway, I was only going by the page name. I would therefore agree with what you suggest. Jellyman (talk) 05:50, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
