Billy Mckay → Billy McKay – Submitting this request on behalf of PellèLong (talk · contribs). User believes the correct capitilasition for the surname is McKay rather than Mckay JMHamo (talk) 17:16, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Wigan Athletic says Mckay. The BBC source for his transfer says Mckay. His former club say Mckay - and that the "McKay" is a common mistake. All three of these comfortably outweigh the one Irish FA source that said user has based their claim off. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 17:25, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per sources here and here. Giant Snowman 17:30, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Fotheringham (Scottish footballer)

Mark McKay Fotheringham - is it an extra surname or middle name? Even so why has nobody requested Mckay? It would be wise to revert to McKay, seeing as it's the correct spelling and otherwise you appear somewhat stupid in the eyes of visitors! Well, that and the fact that you pointlessly added a new surname category "Mckay" which doesn't exist as no other person falls under that category across the whole of Wikipedia except Billy. Whether someone wants to spell their name incorrectly shouldn't have anything to do with what he goes by on here. Also Fotheringham may be a Scotsman with Irish ancestry.

JUST TO CLARIFY!

I remove the whole code for the surname page McKay and replaced it with a link to the page -- GB fan 13:16, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you think it should be moved to a different name you need to follow the instructions at WP:RM and start a new move discussion. -- GB fan 13:19, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are Wikipedia going to do away with the consensus thing any time soon, because it didn't exactly work out for F.C. Internazionale Milano, one user stupidly said that the club shouldn't be recognised by its full name because this is the English language wiki (English of course being a West Germanic language). Funnily enough a German user said it was a mouthful to say ... as if some German clubs don't have long names ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.82.68 (talk) 13:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't expect consensus to go away any time soon. -- GB fan 13:32, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
