The result of the move request was: No consensus. I will move this to

• Move to Isaiah Swerve Scott instead. The "Swerve" is not a nickname, but part of his ring name like Andrade "Cien" Almas. Hansen Sebastian^Talk 04:35, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support this alternative.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:51, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to
  Andrade Cien Almas. Sekyaw (talk) 22:29, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply

• Comment It does seem like there are two schools of thought on this; omitting the nickname in the title (as in the examples in my nom,
  Superstar Billy Graham.) I still think the former is the preferable style. 162 etc. (talk) 16:44, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply

• Comment Just a quick tought. Despite he usually appears with the Swerve in the sources... I'm sure in a few month we're gonna have another discussion to move the article to the new ringname (probably shane strickland) --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:21, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Second comment, as far as I know, Austin, Graham and Nightmare Danny Davis use the nickname because they are highly popular with the nickname and works as natural disambiguation. Funny fact, JBL article is John Layfield, not John Bradshaw Layfield. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:21, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another fun fact is that

Steve Austin, but there's a strong case to be made for that. 162 etc. (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply

• • Third Comment, would 100% agree with this. Would not agree with him even retaining Isaiah Scott at the moment as he was only in WWE or 2 years. His no-compete is now up and he now clearly is not retaining the Isaiah Scott gimmick (WWE Will own the name), so its now just a matter going forward if he is going to stick with this new "swerve the realist" which is nonsense frankly, or reverts to Shane Strickland. Wrestling Observer today are already referring to him by his indie name and no longer his WWE name. Dimspace (talk) 00:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Nom comment. It's clear that the situation has evolved a little bit since this RM was proposed almost 2 months ago. Chances are, the most likely title will be
  Sw3rve or Swerve (wrestler), but it's too soon to tell. 162 etc. (talk) 18:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

Comment As I said, the situation evolves. Why Sw3rve or Swerve? Despite it's the name he currently uses it's not stablished enough for the commonname, since he used Strikland for a longest period and Isaiah had more exposition. Despite it's the current name, there is no point to change the article to an obscure name. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 08:54, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment He seems to be using the name "Sw3rve The Realest" now, as seen on this poster for an upcoming event [2]. 162 etc. (talk) 21:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Another poster, this time it's "Sw3rve". [3] 162 etc. (talk) 20:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to Isaiah Swerve Scott. ♡RAFAEL♡^(talk) 08:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. He has spent the majority of his career as Shane Strickland and has recently returned for New Japan and Progress under the same ring name as well. APM (talk) 23:59, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
