The result of the move request was: moved as requested per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 01:38, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Koo Dae-sung → Dae-Sung Koo – Should be moved per WP:COMMONNAME. During Koo's career in the Anglosphere, he was exclusively known as "Dae-Sung Koo." Yes, I understand how Korean naming conventions work but those conventions are very rarely applied to Korean sportspeople in the western world and were certainly not applied to Koo. Baseball-Reference, Fangraphs, The Baseball Cube, Baseball Almanac, SABR and Baseball America all call him "Dae-Sung Koo." A Google Images search shows that he was exclusively called "Dae-Sung Koo" on his American and Australian baseball cards. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 22:50, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support move, per precedent. Korean baseball players who appeared in Major League Baseball should be listed given-name first. ONR (talk) 23:18, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
