• Kawan → Kawan Gabriel da SilvaKawan Gabriel da Silva
• Kawan (disambiguation) → Kawan

– No clear primary topic for term “Kawan”, Google Trends shows that (for the past 5 years), the term has been linked to various things. In the United States, it’s a brand of parathas. In the United Kingdom, it’s Uncle Roger‘s restaurant. Within Brazil itself, there seems to be many people with that given name. Therefore, Kawan should be a disambiguation page, and this page should have a more specific title.

Support per nom. Also the word itself could mean many things. – Ivan530 (Talk) 04:20, 23 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Also there is already multiple article with Kawan in it’s title. Batu Kawan an island in Malaysia, Kawan Bergeloet a book in Indonesian. And for people there are already a lot in wikipedia, for example Kawan Prather an American record executive , Kawan Pereira a Brazilian diver, and many more. So either we make “Kawan” as disambiguation, or have it as redirect to the island. – Ivan530 (Talk) 22:06, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Just created Kawan (disambiguation) few moments ago. – Ivan530 (Talk) 22:31, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – what other ‘Kawan’ terms are there which means this article requires disambiguation? GiantSnowman 14:22, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  @GiantSnowman We have the restaurant at Nigel Ng#Kawan by Uncle Roger. TansoShoshen (talk) 15:10, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  So then WP:HATNOTE there. GiantSnowman 15:30, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Is there any evidence that this person is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? TansoShoshen (talk) 19:22, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  They appear to be the only topic… GiantSnowman 19:53, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  You expect us to hatnote all Kawan (disambiguation) related topics? TansoShoshen (talk) 02:12, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  FYI, the disambiguation page is just created recently by me after reading GiantSnowman comment. So they might be not aware of it yet. – Ivan530 (Talk) 02:18, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, it was created after this discussion started and I was not notified/aware – so how about AGF and an apology from @TansoShoshen:? GiantSnowman 17:53, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I don’t know how I missed the above message, I do apologize to @GiantSnowman, I will be updating this proposed move accordingly. TansoShoshen (talk) 16:57, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you. GiantSnowman 17:20, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Support – no PRIMARYTOPIC. GiantSnowman 17:21, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Support move to Kawan (footballer, born 2002) per COMMONNAME and NCSP.–Ortizesp (talk) 16:47, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:04, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Kawan (footballer, born 2002) per WP:COMMONNAME. We also have Lucas Kawan. — Necrothesp (talk) 11:04, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Support either Kawan Gabriel da Silva as NATURALDIS or Kawan (footballer, born 2002) as (footballer) alone would be incomplete given Lucas Kawan. Preference for the full name per NATURAL. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 13:56, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Consensus to move, but other proposals have been brought up. Thoughts? Jeffrey34555 (talk) 16:28, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I think this article should be moved to Kawan Gabriel da Silva rather than Kawan (footballer, born 2002). After quick search in google news, most news source use his full name or shortened to “Kawan Gabriel”. Unless someone else can provide more reliable sources where he is just refered as “Kawan”. – Ivan530 (Talk) 04:37, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: One more try for either the original or the alternative title. 1isall (talk | contribs) 16:56, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
