Fergal Devitt → Prince Devitt – Devitt has won many championships and tournaments as Prince Devitt than Fergal Devitt. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:40, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:40, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ICW

It has just been announced that due to Mick Foley's WWE obligations h can no longer appear at ICW's flagship show, Fear and Loathing 9. WWE instead are sending Devitt in his place as a "special enforcer" 24/20/2016

Apollo 55 Section

The Apollo 55 section is quite lengthy which is okay I guess, but it could be broken down into subsections. The second paragraph specifically could be broken down into smaller paragraphs or subsections. Something I noticed quickly while browsing the article. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 15:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I cut the section into some shorter paragraphs. I don't think there's need to cut it into subsections; the current Pegasus Kid-CTU-Apollo 55-Bullet Club sections make sense, since they were clearly the four major stages of his NJPW career. リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (talk) 15:56, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NXT Championship #1 Contender tournament in accolades

The NXT belt is negligible, in the grand scheme of things, so I don't see how winning a tournament to become #1 contender (not even champion) is notable. We've seen tournaments over the years for the #1 contender spot to bigger titles than the NXT belt, as well as tournaments FOR titles bigger than the NXT belt (e.g. Survivor Series 1998), and the victors of those haven't had the tournament win shoved into their respective accolades sections. Yeah, we all want Balor to be something, but let's wait until he actually does something before loading up his accolades section. DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou (talk) 17:35, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Take it to WT:PW, you may get more answers there. リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (LOLTNA) 19:41, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Devitt to be changed to Finn Bálor

GrapeFrogYT (talk) 12:01, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 12:30, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Finn Balor

Hi, i think this page shouod now be changed to Finn Balor as the current champion under that name he is now more known as. Lukejordan02 (talk) 21:57, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone object if not i will move it? Lukejordan02 (talk) 19:46, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article name seems to bounced back and forth since this discussion was raised. Finn Bálor would seem to be fine under WP:STAGENAME, assuming this has become the best-known name by virtue of joining WWE/NXT vs. the presumably lesser-profile NJPW. However, some more input and consensus is needed to avoid starting up another page move war. Dl2000 (talk) 23:26, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 22 February 2016

This edit request to Prince Devitt has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change Prince Devitt main title to Finn Bálor since that's the name he is currently known and recognized by.

Prince Devitt → Finn Bálor – Has become very well known and established himself as Finn Bálor, he is the longest reigning NXT Champion and one of the biggest Superstars in the WWE. SethAdam99 (talk) 05:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support I requested the move so...No comment. SethAdam99 (talk) 01:13, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support his time as Bálor has been the most widely known part of his career. That is, more people know him as Bálor by this time than by his prior ring names. Therefore, WP:COMMONNAME applies. oknazevad (talk) 03:03, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Finn has been the focal point of NXT's brand, and I really doubt he's dropping the name or leaving the company any time soon. Balor is here to stay. Feedback 17:38, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Bálor is part of NXT since 2014. Main eventer, Longest NXT Champion, Dusty Rhodes memorial... common name. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:23, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support I too could be swayed by a good TOOSOON argument given his prominence in NJPW compared to WWE (so far), but with a main roster debut on the horizon now may be the time to move this.LM2000 (talk) 05:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support I was surprised to find that it wasn't already been moved. Unless he leaves WWE very soon (which seems unlikely) he's definitely going to be better known as Finn Bálor.*Treker (talk) 12:54, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support He is now well-established under this name. JJARichardson (talk) 17:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Due to make his main roster debut soon, so the mainstream recognition of the Balor name will increase. Rusted AutoParts 22:29, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
