Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move per request. No evidence whatever provided but searches indicate he is more commonly known without middle name.---Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:46, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Johannes Leonardus Maas → Johannes Maas — WP:COMMONNAME — Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 14:30, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

the correct page title is Johannes Maas

Google results for:

"Johannes Maas" -wiki +cyclist - about 99
"Johannes Maas" -wiki +olympic - about 163
"Johannes Leonardus Maas" -wiki +cyclist - 7
"johannes Leonardus maas" -wiki +olympic - 9

Clearly, the middle name is not as common, and thus should not be included in the title. Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 00:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CLEARLY? The Olympic Committee uses the name Jan Maas, which is his nickname. I am not sure if you read my comments about the move. The only clear reference for Johannes Maas in Google is the WP article. The bulk of the references on Google are about the Johannes Maas who heads an organization in Asia. That article was deleted either by you or someone else without a page on Wikipedia. รัก-ไทย (talk) 04:00, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't demonstrated a single reliable source that uses his middle name. Here's an example of a reliable source: Sports Illustrated. Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 04:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
