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.
Dudi Amsalem → David Amsalem (politician) – Page should be at the standard first/last name, not a nickname - nicknames, per
WP:NICKNAME, should not be used unless they appear in "overwhelming majority of independent reliable sources", which does not appear to be the case here. He is David in many local news outlets
[1],
[2], and definitely in international news
[3],
[4], and David on the
Knesset and
other government sites. This page was moved to the standard first/last format but then moved back based on natural disambiguation, per
WP:NCDAB, but it is far from obvious that
WP:NCDAB is intended to be used to move biographical pages away from their obvious natural base names to nicknames given the reservations in
WP:NICKNAME.

"Widely known" isn't the requirement for a biography to be listed under a nickname or contraction; the requirement is that the name be "overwhelmingly" prevalent.
