José Manuel Díaz Novoa → Novoa (footballer) – WP:COMMONNAME is just "Novoa", didn't use full legal name as a footballer. Ortizesp (talk) 14:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Jerm (talk) 17:06, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Oppose - lots of players known by just surname, does not make it common name... GiantSnowman 16:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * In this case it looks like he uses only his maternal surname as a nickname, not his legal name as usual.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:50, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Natural disambiguation is preferred to parenthetical. Dicklyon (talk) 16:30, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Not when it's not someone's common name, it isn't. If he's not commonly known as José Manuel Díaz Novoa then we shouldn't use that as the article title. This is clearly stated at WP:COMMONNAME and emphasised at WP:MIDDLE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:34, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Several of the cited sources refer to him by full name, not as Novoa. Dicklyon (talk) 05:33, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * They may give his full name, but most of them actually make it very clear that his common name is simply Novoa. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:56, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
