Talk:Roberto Jiménez (footballer, born 1986)

Transfer details
Please fellow users (some most definitely "users"), player was on loan until 5 February 2014, only signed permanently from Atlético Madrid in that day. Thus, that is what the box should reflect, one on-loan Olympiacos spell followed by a permanent Olympiacos spell. Thank you --AL (talk) 19:26, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Requested move 1 June 2019

 * 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: no consensus. Editors are split between using the footballer's common name (Roberto) in parenthetical disambiguation and using his full name as natural disambiguation. There is no consensus on whether the mononym is sufficient to distinguish the footballer from other footballers with the surname Roberto.

Roberto Jiménez Gago → Roberto (footballer, born 1986) – Commonly known as "Roberto". Redirect for Roberto (footballer) exists to another footballer commonly known as "Roberto".

 * Support per nomination. A nomination of Roberto Rodrigo → Roberto (footballer, born 1988) is also being submitted for the one-sentence stub delineating the other footballer. The main title header for a third footballer, Roberto Rodrigo → Roberto (footballer, born 1944), is likewise eligible for renaming. I am therefore revising the redirect Roberto (footballer) so that it no longer points to Roberto Rodrigo, but directly to the Robert name page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:07, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose just don't believe that his surname is totally unknown. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:53, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose - agree that mononym is inappropriate. GiantSnowman 08:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - BBC = Roberto.--Egghead06 (talk) 06:28, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Simply put, he doesn't use both last names, and almost all external links and references use Roberto only.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:28, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Roberto (footballer) now points to the newly created Roberto (disambiguation). bd2412  T 01:59, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. WP:NATURALDIS would be preferred in this case, considering that utilizing the name in the proposed name will almost certainly result in a WP:SURPRISE for English readers. However, I support a redirect being created at the proposed move location pointing towards the article's current title. Steel1943  (talk) 17:52, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

– By reviewing the previous RM, the Spanish footballer per majority of sources used either uses just Roberto or Roberto Jiménez (never uses the Gago surname). It is not common usage for Gago to be used and in English football, other Spanish footballers are known by having two names - the forename and the paternal family name. Since there's already another Roberto Jiménez, dab would be necessary if there is move consensus. And speaking of sources, another page, Matthew Longstaff, is not currently WP:COMMONNAME per BBC and club websites as Oliver McBurnie was moved yesterday.

 * Roberto Jiménez Gago → Roberto Jiménez (footballer, born 1986)
 * Roberto Jiménez → Roberto Jiménez (footballer, born 1983)
 * Matthew Longstaff → Matty Longstaff
 * Support, per nom. Frankly, this should be done to countless similar Spanish footballers. Generally, they go by one last name unless they have an extremely common first name.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:23, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
