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 reviewafter discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Gemma Collis-McCann → Gemma Collis – The subject officially competes and is recognized solely under her maiden name, Gemma Collis. Her hyphenated married name is obsolete in contemporary athletic tracking. Her most recent career milestones, selection cycles, and podium finishes are explicitly branded under "Gemma Collis" by all national and international sports governing bodies. Moving the page to "Gemma Collis" satisfies Wikipedia's Common Name policy (WP:COMMONNAME).
Evidence from primary and secondary sports authorities:

Support - To add further weight to this move under WP:COMMONNAME, major independent secondary media overwhelmingly uses "Gemma Collis". For example, BBC Sport explicitly uses the non-hyphenated name in her video profile: "Wheelchair fencer Collis' journey to world number one". Furthermore, BBC Radio 5 Live interviews her using her common name, as heard here: Paralympian Gemma Collis on her love for Cool Runnings. This secondary media usage, combined with the official IPC and Team Bath profiles already mentioned, clearly demonstrates that her common and professional name is Gemma Collis. ~2026-33332-75 (talk) 10:27, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
