Name dispute

[edit]

User Lugnuts created this page MIlan Truban based on his source. http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/tr/milan-truban-1.html I friendly informed him that the name of this person is (or may be) Rudolf Truban as used in many sources in states of foreign Yugoslavia, e.g. Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia.

... contemporary newspapers

...

His reaction was "Get lost". I just want correct name to be used, if someone can prove Milan OK, it just needs to be true. Please help. 31.15.147.139 (talk) 16:09, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correction. It was "get lost" after you failed to understand the basics of posting on someone's talkpage. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 16:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Response to third opinion request:
Thank you for requesting a third opinion. The problem seems simple at first glance: Is the common name of the athlete in question Milan Truban or Rudolf Truban? However, the problem is that there is little information on this person on English-language sources (as far as I have researched, and also based on what has been provided in the above discussion). Interestingly enough, when I typed in Google the name "Rudolf Milan Truban", one search result did come up. Perhaps this was the athlete's full name?

A good consensus solution would seem to be to change the title to "Rudolf Milan Truban". Nonetheless, this does not seem to be a case where consensus is necessary. The IP user has provided a substantial amount of evidence that indicates the name "Rudolf Truban" is more common (in a global sense) than the name "Milan Truban". Regardless, I am not one to oppose consensus editing. TL,DR: I recommend that the page be moved to "Rudolf Truban", but would not find it unreasonable for a consensus to be reached for "Rudolf Milan Truban"—the apparent full name of the athlete.

Thanks again for requesting a third opinion. Have a great day!-- MarshalN20 Talk 17:02, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
