Christian Atsu Twasam → Christian Atsu – Just like the other page I'm nominating, the title of this page should've been left as it was after it was created per WP:COMMONNAME. – Michael (talk) 00:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Support - Name in European sources seems appropriate. Ghanaweb "barely known in Ghana" drops Twasam after first line. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

He is categorised as a twin, but this is not mentioned in the current text of the article. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:49, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

According to the Turkish media Christian Atsu is still under the rubble and has not been rescued yet. Hatayspor manager and ex-professional footballer Volkan Demirel says he is still under the rubble. time 08 February 2023 - 16:44 (GMT+3)

 * ❌ Clearly the issue is confused. Nothing is served to continue pumping conflicting confused reports into the article. At some point in the future, the truth will be known; until then, all we have is conjecture. Let's wait for the final truth. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Strange, I have seen a BBC Football report that he was "rescued" (that is included in the article) but I see from newer news reports, including Sky Sports, that the player still has missing status. There are still uncertain times going on in this situation, definitely different to what happened four years ago when a plane crashed into the English channel involving Emiliano Sala. I hope something will be certain involving in this current event as soon as possible and conflicting news reports should not confuse any more people.

International goals
The table "Appearances and goals by national team and year", near the end of the article, says that he scored 10 international goals. The "List of international goals scored by Christian Atsu" only includes 9 entries (one goal from 2013 appears to be missing), which is also what the summary at the top says. Renerpho (talk) 01:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The Soccerway source also gives him 10 goals but the goal tally for 2016 says the result is unavailable for some reason. These two match reports and  give different goalscorers and different time in minutes for the first goal. Having a look elsewhere, there's this report and this which gives different information of the scorer when it was 1-0. Can't seem to think why some sources give out different information, which obviously means some sources will be wrong. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 09:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Surely FIFA is the arbiter of who scored a goal in a World Cup qualifier, more than Yahoo or Soccerway? Unknown Temptation (talk) 10:05, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes I'm more inclined to go with FIFA since the competition was known as 2014 FIFA World Cup. They were the ones who credited the goal as "John BOYE (GHA) 45'". Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 14:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I couldn't agree more with @Iggy the Swan. I would go with the FIFA reference and issue a disclaimer just as it has been written currently on Christian Atsu and John Boye's article. Ampimd (talk) 01:22, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Edit request
Someone changed death date from "circa 6 February" to "18 February" by removing "circa". Exact day when he died is not known. He went missing on 6th, and body found & death announced on 18th, someone else added "circa" again but previous "circa 6" was more accurate. I propose writing either only "Feburary 2023" (without a day, because that's fully accurate) or "circa 6" like how it was already. (All I said is already what references in the article supports)

 * The Deaths in 2023 page lists Atsu as a notable death in the 6 section on that page. I'd guess, just like what happened with Emiliano Sala four years ago that he passed away on the date the earthquakes collapsed the building he was in. To me, it should not say that his death date was 18 February 2023. Should be 6 February or slightly later, ie circa 6 February 2023 as it was before.
