Jacob Mwiimbu → Jack Mwiimbu – This minister is commonly known as Jack Mwiimbu here in Zambia and the first thing someone will search for is Jack and not Jacob. Therefore request is made that this is moved to the main space for Jack Mwiimbu. Submitted for review. Revention24 (talk) 11:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - You are right when you say that he is known as "Jack Mwiimbu". That is his WP:COMMONNAME.

Agree Its less confusing cause I almost created one for Jack. --Icem4k (talk) 05:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Icem4k, @GeographicAccountant, @Ortizesp, @Revention24, I agree with the move too to Jack Mwiimbu, however, most government online gazzete pages use the full name as Jacob Jack Mwiimbu to avoid such confusion, for example here: (https://www.parliament.gov.zm/node/368), here, here, etc., and except here.

@Tumbuka Arch You are right, but the situation on the ground is different. If you conduct a local survey, you will find that many people know him best as Jack. I believe the infobox and the beginning of the article should include his full name to reduce confusion, similar to how we handle individuals with stage names.

@Revention24 Understandable :) Tumbuka Arch (talk) 13:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
