Talk:David Orlando

Merge proposal
I propose merging Davide Orlando into David Orlando. Davide Orlando appears to refer to the same player but most sources use the spelling without the "e" in the first name. Robby.is.on (talk) 09:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks like you merged the two pages the other way around? Robby.is.on (talk) 14:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The only citation on the article that appears to give his full name says “Davide”. But looking further, there are marginally more Google hits for David than Davide, so perhaps you are right. To confuse matters more, many of the hits for Davide appear to relate to an Italian photographer. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 16:13, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I searched for both variants in connection with "FC Sion", the club he made the most appearances for. The first few newspaper articles all had "David": Tagblatt, 2009, Le Nouvelliste, 2024, RTS, 2015, swissinfo.ch, 2006. Robby.is.on (talk) 18:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Support. The page history with the starting edit by Huligan0 and the current edit by the proposer is far better than the other page history which Daemonickangaroo2018 redirected. The only football source for Davide Orlando I can find which is clearly unreliable would be the transfermarkt site, but the above indicates his correct spelling would be the one without the e. Not sure if Huligan0 was ever aware David Orlando exists as a blue link and could have improved the article there. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello! He appears almost everywhere as David and not Davide and I would also support keeping David instead, nonetheless it's worth mentioning that in footballia, which is supposed to use the same DB FIFA uses to verify names, he appears as Davide. Wouldn't David Orlando in the title and a mention at the first paragraph of the intro he also appears as Davide in some sources solve the issue?
