Kim Dong-soo (gamer) → Garimto – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Esports player is known by his esports gamertag. Articles titles on the subject all refer to him as Garimto and not Kim Dong-soo. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 17:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - in almost every case, when an esports player is introduced in a mainstream reliable source, it is their real name that is used (or often in "Firstname 'Handle' Lastname" style). This should translate to Wikipedia defaulting to use of their real name as primary introduction in the title. COMMONNAME is not sledgehammer that overrides good clear style, and a gamer handle is not really a "name" per se. -- Netoholic @ 01:29, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. StarCraft players are known almost solely by the handles in literature on the topic. This isn't a case of the media being weird; they refer to each other and themselves by the handles too, not the real names. There is no reason not to accord the same deference to gamer handles as Wikipedia already does to author pennames, actor screennames, or other people publicly known by something that isn't their birthname. See Mark Twain, George Eliot, etc. SnowFire (talk) 05:25, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
