Requested move 27 September 2023

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: Moved to Kim Jong-il (long jumper). There is consensus not to move to "Kim Jong Il", however there is on the disambiguator raised here: WP:PRECISE and WP:CONSISTENT. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 16:25, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kim Jong-il (athlete) → Kim Jong Il (athlete) – Same as "Kim Jong Il", back in April 2023. 2001:4451:82D2:2100:A934:A410:C8B8:2F7E (talk) 08:22, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Kim Jong Il was moved, as an exception to WP:NCKO, based on common usage in English-language sources. No evidence of that in the case of the athlete. There is no requirement for consistency, as the OP appears to suggest. 162 etc. (talk) 15:44, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for readability. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for reasons others provided toobigtokale (talk) 01:43, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for clarity. But rename to Kim Jong-il (long jumper). We try to avoid using "athlete" in favour of the specific event. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:20, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for clarity, but would support Kim Jong-il (long jumper) to be more WP:PRECISE and WP:CONSISTENT with other long jumpers such as Mike Powell (long jumper). The Night Watch (talk) 14:37, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
