The result of the move request was: no consensus. Strictly speaking this low-participation RM is unopposed, but given the previous discussions on this issue I can't simply assume that consensus exists. Several relists and WikiProject notifications haven't gotten us anywhere, so "no consensus" is my only real option. Going forward, it might be wise to start an RfC to discuss this issue more generally, as suggested below. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 21:59, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
– The general practice for the Saudi royals (see Category:House of Saud) is to use the surname. This is true for maybe 90% of cases. Perhaps an exception can be made for a few such as Mohammed bin Salman and certainly for the kings, but most of the time and for the articles listed above, WP:COMMONNAME seems to include the surname.
