I think this should be reverted to Johnson as that is his last name, not Johnsson. NHL.com has erroneously listed him as Johnsson and he never actually corrected them. Leafs website as well as all the Swedish media list him as Johnson, same as TSN and Sportsnet. Norum 05:56, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Norum: Upon looking further into the issue, his brother is also listed as Johnson with a single S. I think there should be a mention in the lede that sometimes it is spelt with two S though but I don't have a problem with changing it. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 05:58, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
On Swedish wikipedia he is also listed as Johnson. And yes, his father and brother are listed as Johnson as well. I am going to delete my second entry as I posted it by accident. Norum 06:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
The only way I know how to change a page title is through the BLP noticeboard but I think we should leave this here at least until this time tomorrow EST just in case anyone opposes (although I don't think this is a highly watched page). HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 06:04, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think we both have the ability to move this page but I don't want to mess anything up by accident. My first try at moving a page didn't go so well. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 06:08, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I agree, we should give it some time. You're right, this page is not really highly watched page as he isn't a top player just yet. Norum 06:12, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
It's been 2 years since this comment and Andreas has yet to have told the NHL, TSN or Sportsnet to "change" his name... I don't think that his last name is Johnson with one S. Hell, it's on the back of his jersey! You'd think he would've spoken up. Nolanisntfunny (talk) 14:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)NolanisntfunnyReply
Never correcting it is considered to be accepting of it, we go by what the majority of sources indicate per WP:COMMONNAME even if that contradicts what legal name is. -DJSasso (talk) 11:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
