Talk:Camil Doua

Possible DYK hook
DYK ... that Camil Doua could not qualify for Mauritania at the 2020 Summer Olympics as he would have had to give up his French citizenship?

That would be reasonably interesting, I would have thought. If you concur, would you mind adding something about him to the Mauritania at the 2020 Summer Olympics article? Another one of those skinny "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" GAs that don't have enough depth to really be a GA in my humble opinion.  Schwede 66  02:41, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Before I nominate: for the source, I'm using Google Translate and the translation reads: "'As I have dual French and Mauritanian nationality, I thought I could represent Mauritania, but at the time I had to give up French but that was not an option' ... [later in 2023] 'I then learned that the Mauritanian law concerning dual nationals had changed.' Camil then jumped on a plane to the headquarters of the Olympic Committee. Sensitive to its history, and especially to its determination, its president Abderrahmane Ethmane placed his trust in him, 'in any case they had nothing to lose'. In less than two months, his papers were done: the Parisian dream had just come true." Just want to make sure: am I accurately reading the translation? BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd say so. Abderrahmane Ethmane is president of the Comité National Olympique et Sportif Mauritanien, which would support your interpretation. I'd ask for a native French speaker to cast their eye over this source as part of the DYK review, though.  Schwede 66  03:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * OK – good. I'll nominate it shortly. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
