– Vítor Oliveira's (Marseille) WP:COMMONNAME has recently become Vitinha. Sources now refer to him as Vitinha, it's what it says on the back of his shirt, etc, although that wasn't the case before. Now it is the case, so my first point is that moving him to Vitinha is correct because of COMMONNAME. For the other Vitinha (PSG), who is more well known, it's well established that he goes by Vitinha. However, keeping the article name at the current name is bad, because it creates ambiguity with the other Vitinha, who is also born in 2000. People are highly likely to know both players under the name Vitinha, especially those unfamiliar with Portuguese football, so moving to a month distinction is the way to go. This is of course assuming that Vitinha is the established COMMONNAME for Vítor Oliveira, which I believe it to be. Paul Vaurie (talk) 03:15, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The proof that sources refer to Oliveira as Vitinha can be found by doing this: go to Google and search up 'Vítor Oliveira Marseille' (with or without the diacritic doesn't matter) and then look in the "news" section of Google. The results are not at all recent. However, if you type 'Vitinha Marseille' and look at the "news" section, it's all stuff about his recent goals with OM. Shows how French and English sources are referring to him as Vitinha as his COMMONNAME. Paul Vaurie (talk) 03:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
