Requested move 21 April 2024

Charles Sagoe Jr. Charles Sagoe Jr – British subject, so British spelling. His parent club ( Arsenal) and his loan club ( Swansea City) also list him this way.

  • Oppose - not convinced by the argument made, is 'Jr' a British spelling opposed to 'Jr.'??? Giant Snowman 19:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose no actual evidence that Jr is a "British spelling" rather than Jr. And nothing in MOS:JR to say this either, so either Jr or Jr. is perfectly fine, but we don't need to change it. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 08:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply
In fact, Cambridge dictionary actually says that Jnr. is the "British version", not Jr: [1]. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 08:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I assume they're referring to MOS:POINTS:

Contractions that do not contain an apostrophe almost always take a period in North American English, but not in British English when the contraction ends with the same letter as the full term: Doctor can be abbreviated Dr. in American and Canadian English, but is Dr in British English.

  • Oppose since Jr. is shortened for Junior - even though many different websites, along with the two listed in the nom, list this name towards your proposed location of this article. Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 20:28, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose per above. Idiosincrático ( talk) 02:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Support per MOS:POINTS, which is clear on the subject. Graham ( talk) 01:15, 30 April 2024 (UTC) reply
