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 Melissa Gonzalez (hurdler) (without the accent) per Roman Spinner. No such user (talk) 09:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Melissa González (athlete) → Melissa González (hurdler) – per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions (sportspeople)#Athletics (track and field); "To avoid the conflict between general sportspeople and the sport of athletics (track and field), it's best to disambiguate by event category rather than use a generic "(athlete)" suffix. The "(athlete)" handle may denote sportspeople in general" Joeykai (talk) 05:26, 27 August 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

Oppose Melissa González (athlete) → Melissa González (hurdler), but would support Melissa González (athlete) → Melissa Gonzalez (hurdler). Subject is a U.S.-born American citizen whose surname is not accented in any English-language media entries nor in any English-language sports databases. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 08:49, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support in principle. Not sure about the accent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 8 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
