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].

• Restore the title Eystein I of Norway. Srnec (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

  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)
