Talk:Deolinda Rodrigues

Actual Surname
Coming from a Portuguese speaking background, I find it unlikely that her name real name was Rodriguez instead of Rodrigues. Every single reference in Angola uses Rodrigues (e.g. Deolinda Rodrigues avenue). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.166.74.246 (talk) 18:45, 8 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The name Rodríguez appears in the Library of Congress and other publications. Rodrigues is given as an alternative. What else can we do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I checked VIAF as well. Both given. As a perpetual misspelling myself, it is more important that one is able to tie the documentation to her life than to assume that we ever have the "100% correct" translation. All we *can* do is list alternative spellings. Even if the page was transferred to a surname spelling of Rodrigues there would need to be a redirect for Rodriguez.

 * It is just plain wrong. It is just like naming the article about John Kennedy using the alternative form of "Jon Kenady" just because the Library of Congress of Vanuatu has it that way. The correct spelling of her surname was Rodrigues. If you need propoer sources, check the following:
 * · Official website of MPLA (and OMA): http://www.mpla.ao/oma.25/deolinda-rodrigues.29.html.
 * · A telegram from Amilcar Cabral demanding her release from prison in Zaire: http://www.casacomum.org/cc/visualizador?pasta=07073.131.115

 * Just institute a request to move for the name change. I don't think anyone will oppose the suggestion as long as there is a redirect to Rodriguez. SusunW (talk) 15:12, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree, but please do leave a redirect. --Rosiestep (talk) 06:25, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Killed because of "support of the Angolan Independence movement" ???
"Due to her support of the growing Angolan Independence movement, she was captured, tortured, and executed." Can that be supported by any sources? According to the text of teh article she was killed by a competing guerilla movement which also fought for Angolan Independence (FNLA). So it looks like a simple, sad case of factional infighting.

 * , sounds good. Go for it! --Rosiestep (talk) 06:22, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
