Move to Ísak Snær Þorvaldsson

I made the bold move to move the article to Ísak Snær Þorvaldsson today which has now been reverted by @GiantSnowman. I don't have any problem with the move being reverted on the grounds it was undiscussed, it was a bold move after all, but I do have to disagree with the point that "this is English language wikipedia, not Icelandic, so we use English sources" as we do indeed use non-english speaking sources on the English language Misplaced Pages per WP:NONENG. That said, my opinion is that his full name is his WP:COMMONNAME and my reasoning for that is that every significant source in the articles references him as Ísak Snær Þorvaldsson, and he is generally referenced as such in the major Icelandic publications, including Fótbolti.net, Vísir.is, Morgunblaðið, RÚV or Fréttablaðið. While he might not be references with his middle name in English sources, none of them is significant, and thus should not trump the vastly more non-english significant sources.

I think you misunderstood me - because we are the English-language Misplaced Pages we use what English-language sources call him. See WP:CRITERIA ("Such a title usually conveys what the subject is actually called in English"). GiantSnowman 18:33, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
