Choi Yeon-sung → Iloveoov – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Last move rationale was speculative, at best, and the support vote "more encyclopedic" is not a policy.

Support per nom. StarCraft journalism almost exclusively refers to players by their screennames, and League journalism does 95% of the time. See [1] for a sample article that mentions the real name once and then proceeds to refer to the person as iloveoov in the title and in running text. At least for BoxeR he had a career elsewhere under his normal name, although I'd argue that should be moved back to the screenname as well. As far as "more encyclopedic": see the many, many actors who are uncontroversially at their "stage names" - we don't have Francis Sinatra, Stefani Germanotta, etc., we use the names they are known and self-present to the public as, so WP:ABOUTSELF applies too, not merely WP:COMMONNAME.

Support as a WP:COMMONNAME: In English (as opposed to in Korean, which is a different story) he is generally known and referred to by his ID iloveoov rather than his real name. Adumbrativus (talk) 06:21, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
