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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. The consensus is that the proposed is not the most common name. Redirect created, though. Jenks24 (talk) 10:56, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Antun Sorkočević → Antonio Sorgo – This person was a Ragusan diplomat, and a writer. His official name was Antonio (di) Sorgo. He worked in France, where he was assimilated, and known as Antoine Sorgo. "Antun Sorkočević" is a Croatian neologism, unsuitable. Zoupan 21:24, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. "Antun Sorkočević" generates 10,600 google hits, while "Antonio Sorgo" generates 216 hits. Since a lot of the first and second page hits on the second name are derived from an "Antonio Sorgo Ensemble", I find it unlikely that that is the more commonly used name in reliable sources. As for Sorkočević being a Croatian neologism, Croatian has been spoken in the Republic of Ragusa far before Sorkočević was born, so it would be good to prove your assertion.

Google Books searches for "Antun Sorkočević" 1775, "Antonio Sorgo" 1775 and "Antoine Sorgo" 1775 indicate you didn't do basic homework before proposing this move? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 17:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
