Requested move 12 March 2015[edit]

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 review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. Regarding notability, he has taken the field in a fully professional league, which satisfies WP:Notability (sports). EdJohnston (talk) 02:15, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dani Ndi → Dani N'Di – Should the name be written with the apostrophe like other African names (e.g., Thomas N'Kono, N'Diaye or Boniface N'Dong)? There are few sources in English as he is a very young player, but I would like to know your opinion. --Relisted.

Please add sources to his name. Marca and Sporting's official web use Ndi, while Soccerway uses N'Di. Some newspapers also use the "'", so there's no consensus over it.

Maybe a redirect will do the trick for now. MYS 77 ^✉ 16:53, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support as a Cameroonian should follow Cameroon common practice unless strong evidence to the contrary. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:15, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- That works for Francophone Cameroonians but English generally doesn't use the apostrophe (nor usually do Francophones in neighbouring Gabon[1]). — AjaxSmack 23:12, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm still thinking that a redirect would do the trick. MYS 77 ^✉ 04:03, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I've searched around and found very few sites either in English, or from Cameroon, that use the N'Di representation. I would need to see more evidence that this is his common name in either Cameroonian English or indeed international English, before supporting this move. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 14:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: Few of the references above are English, and these support the apostrophe but narrowly. More relevant evidence required IMO. Andrewa (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - No need to change it, honestly he doesn't meet the notability requirements to warrant an article in the first place.74.104.150.176 (talk) 22:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

In the RM above it's been questioned [2] whether this article should even exist. First stop in asking this is WP:GNG for general guidelines, and this links to WP:NSOCCER which should also be consulted as the topic-specific guideine, and possibly also Wikipedia:Notability (people) for general guidelines on people and this also links to Wikipedia:Notability (sports) which has more specific guidelines covering all sportspeople and of which WP:NSOCCER is a section, so we get to the most specific guideline along two different routes.

The topic only needs to pass any one of these levels to be accepted as suitable for an article. As the linking pattern suggests, normally we start at GNG and work down until we find a test it passes, or if it doesn't meet any of the criteria, then nominate the article for deletion.

Any comments on how those guidelines apply to this article? Or are there other relevant guidelines I've missed? Andrewa (talk) 10:08, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
