Brendan Ormsby → Brendon Ormsby – Sources seem to be split whether it's Brendan [//www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-legends-rally-round-6881792] [//web.archive.org/web/20190124041640/https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/ex-leeds-united-captain-ormsby-on-mend-after-stroke-1-6357620] [//www.transfermarkt.com/brendan-ormsby/profil/spieler/222645] [//www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=6013] or Brendon  [//www.barchester.com/help-and-advice/news/former-leeds-united-captain-recovering-stroke] [//www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-leeds-47793645/caring-for-ex-leeds-united-captain-gave-me-alopecia] [//www.tadalbion.com/news/tafc-player-to-raise-money-for-stroke-association-in-leeds-10k-1254771.html] [//brendon-ormsby.muchloved.com/]. I wasn't able to find any specifically saying Brendan or Brendon is correct. But I'm leaning to Brendon since sources which seem closest to Brendon like the interview with his wife, the fundraising and the talk of his son's involvement say Brendon. I don't think WP:Common name should really apply to whether his name is spelled Brendon or Brendan unless one is so iconic it's widely noted. Nil Einne (talk) 13:17, 24 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment As an additional point, it looks like the article has been at this title since creation in 2007 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brendan_Ormsby&oldid=103898659] suggesting we could be part of the reason sources say it's Brendan. Nil Einne (talk) 13:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm ok going with the BBC-source, seems the most RS of the lot. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:04, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

I am the person who flagged this up, and my source is his wife - I clarified with her as I'd seen the page and noticed the different spelling from how she spelled her husband's name in our text conversations...what conclusive evidence would you need? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:C60C:200:35C2:CCC8:F656:591A (talk) 16:02, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

 * IMO The Brendon Ormsby Strike Back Fund is conclusive enough in this particular context. We'll see what happens. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:05, 25 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Support - seems like a common mis-spelling but I'm inclined to suggest it's 'Brendon'. GiantSnowman 09:40, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Support - Per WP:BLPSELFPUB, let's go with The Brendon Ormsby Strike Back Fund. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:01, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
