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.
Weak oppose: Although it is apparently possible to find sources that omit "Alves", among the sources cited in the article, five of them have "Alves" in their titles, and only two of them use "Max" alone. Both of the ones that don't contain "Alves" are not written in English (see
WP:USENGLISH). Since using a mononym (especially a common given name) is unusual, we wouldn't do that unless sources used that form consistently. Using a first name as a nickname is pretty common but also generally informal, and Wikipedia should generally have a formal tone. Removing "Alves" also makes the title ambiguous. "Max Alves" is more concise and less complicated and easier to remember than "Max (footballer, born 2001)". —

Oppose - both 'Max' and 'Max Alves' appear to be used, and using the surname is probably more useful, and common in English language media, see
this and
this and even Portuguese language media like
this.
