move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Comment They were overwhelmingly known as Liz and Liz II during their careers, which is reflected by both contemporary and retrospective newspaper articles and the names on their jerseys (
1,
2,
3,
4,
5...). However, their full names would be preferable titles in my opinion since they are more natural and specific (there might be some female footballers known as Liz, for example). So, if anything, I would oppose, but for very different reasons.

I personally don't agree with that as there are not (afaik) any current footballers, female or otherwise that go momononymously as Liz other than these. If there were, i'd be more than happy to recommend them being named as
Liz (Spanish footballer) and
Liz II (Spanish footballer). It doesn't make sense for these pages to stay at their current titles if that's not what they are know as.--

@
GiantSnowman: Beyond the raw numbers, I see something more important; an ongoing discussion that may benefit from a few more people joining in. The nomination is quite valid, such that one of the opposers actually agreed with the rationale, but then went to oppose for another reason (A reason which I am not able to judge its merit now, but want other people do that after relist). The rest of the 2 opposition comments, apart from being essentially one, are weak in substance (there's no policy that prohibits using nickname as article title; in fact we have a
guideline that says opposite of that) and were both challenged with no response. So the numbers may look 3-0 for a closer who closes by numbers; but for anyone assessing the 'actual discussion' would definitely see what I just explained. That said, my relisting does not foreclose closing this discussion at any time from now; once RM discussion passed the initial seven days, it's eligible for close by an uninvolved editor at anytime irrespective of relisting status. –

Comment, i want to note, every external link and internal reference list them as Liz and Liz II, including contemporary news articles from the 1950s, and their own eulogies decades later.--

No, they are alternative names the same way
Kaká is. Gazza was generally also known as Gascoigne, and didn't use Gazza on his shirt. Liz isn't a shortened form of either of these 2 brothers names, and was worn on the back of their jerseys. It's also how they are generally referred to in references and external links.--
