Name change to mgk

Hasn't used Machine Gun Kelly, only "mgk", for almost a year now. All new music releases and press releases refer as mgk. Page name should be updated to stay accurate.

RM template content wrapped with "nowiki"

Wrapping this with "nowiki" tags prevented it from becoming an actual RM discussion. Why was that done? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:52, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mgk (musician) → Machine Gun Kelly (musician) – This article has changed name without consensus, bringing this here to obtain that. I believe "Machine Gun Kelly" is still his WP:COMMONNAME.[1][2][3][4][5] His official stage name bears no weight. MB 2437 15:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Undiscussed pagemoves can be uncontroversially reverted at WP:RMT. 162 etc. (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment MGK and mgk are already primary redirects to this article, so mgk (musician) is unnecessary disambiguation. 162 etc. (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OP has chosen to present this at WP:RMT instead.[6] 162 etc. (talk) 00:03, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
