Requested move 9 April 2023
[edit]- 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 Eystein I of Norway. (closed by non-admin page mover) -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 21:36, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Eystein I → Eystein Magnusson – The page was moved to the present title from Eystein I of Norway in October, with the mover citing WP:SOVEREIGNS, despite there being nothing in SOVEREIGNS supporting that move. A move to my proposed title would be consistent with other contemporary Scandinavian monarchs. Further, Eystein Magnusson is the WP:COMMONNAME in academic usage [1].

- Eystein Magnusson is the COMMONNAME for the subject, see the source I provided. It's also consistent with other contemporary monarchs. Estar8806 (talk) 23:09, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support move to Eystein Magnusson or Eystein I of Norway. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 11:59, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Restore the title "Eystein I of Norway". Walrasiad (talk) 15:37, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Walrasiad Eystein Magnusson is the WP:COMMONNAME, beating Eystein I. Eystein I of Norway doesn't even register. Estar8806 (talk) 02:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- The criteria I am interested in is WP:SOVEREIGNS, where the norm of a numerical king is given as "Name # of Kingdom". "Eystein Magnusson" is not a household name, except perhaps within Norway. In English-language lists of kings of Norway written for general audiences (rather than for Norwegians or specialists), I find him commonly given as "Eystein I". Which is unsurprising as "Magnusson" is a generic surname, not a title nor a nickname (like "Hadrada"). Per the SOVEREIGNS criterion cited, adding "of Norway" makes the title clear. The alternative (again through SOVEREIGNS) would be "Eystein Magnusson, King of Norway", which is needlessly long. "Eystein I of Norway" is simpler, clear and accurate enough. Walrasiad (talk) 03:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Normally I would agree with you, however the second point of SOVEREIGNS is if there is an overwhelmingly common name to use it. I don't know how you commonly find "Eystein I" (even without the "of Norway") when Eystein Magnusson is more common. You can even see the external link provided in the article [2] which refers to him as Eystein Magnusson. Estar8806 (talk) 21:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Except its not. Even your own gdata don't show it. They're about evenly matched, so its a toss-up. Since the "Magnusson" is found more often in specialized books rather than general references, I'll weigh the latter quite more strongly. Walrasiad (talk) 02:10, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Eystein I of Norway → Eystein Magnusson – Google Ngrams shows Eystein Magnusson is the WP:COMMONNAME. Векочел (talk) 02:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. The Ngram evidence is weak: between 1970–2005 there are more mentions of "Eystein I". However, I wonder if the Ngrams are corrupted by the snippets like
Eystein: "I have heard that..."
, which you see in the Books Search. Eystein Magnusson would be wp:consistent with his brother Olav Magnusson. To make a call, it would be good to have more evidence. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 07:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC) - Oppose. Eystein Magnusson would be inconsistent with Eystein II of Norway. Given the weak Ngram evidence, best to leave it as is. Srnec (talk) 21:14, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- On second thought, based on Google Search results, it seems like "Eystein I" is the more popular name than "Eystein Magnusson". Does anyone know how to withdraw a nomination? I wish to have it closed and renominate it alongside Eystein II for the sake of avoiding more RFCs than needed. Векочел (talk) 21:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

– These two Norwegian rulers appear to be the only monarchs named Eystein, so there is no need to disambiguate. Векочел (talk) 22:31, 17 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. cyberdog958Talk 05:47, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
