Marià Rodríguez i Vázquez → Mariano R. Vázquez – While looking through my sources on Vázquez, I found that the Catalanised "Marià Rodríguez i Vázquez" doesn't seem to be as common as I'd initially thought when I first translated the article in 2020. Going through my own sources, as well as searches on Google Scholar, it appears that his common name is in Spanish, although what variant of it is the most common isn't so clear. These variants include the use of the full Spanish name "Mariano Rodríguez Vázquez", the version with a contracted patrilineal "Mariano R. Vázquez", the solely matrilineal name "Mariano Vázquez" and the nickname "Marianet".

These are often used interchangeably, so it's difficult to figure out which version to use for the article title. As I'm not sure about us using nicknames for article titles (i.e. we don't call Dolores Ibárruri "La Pasionaria" in the article title), I'll rule out "Marianet". The full Spanish name "Mariano Rodríguez Vázquez" also appears to be less common, which makes sense as Vázquez himself preferred to drop his patrilineal surname. This leaves the contracted "Mariano R. Vázquez" and the matrilineal-only "Mariano Vázquez", which seem to be the ones most used in my own sources.

My instinct is to provisionally propose we move the article to "Mariano R. Vázquez", as it appears to be marginally more common in English sources and as that's how he usually signed his name in documents. It also disambiguates sufficiently from the Argentine footballer Mariano Vázquez. So I wanted to open this up for discussion rather than unilaterally moving, as there are so many options without an obvious choice, I want to seek consensus on the best one. Feel free to comment with which variant you think we should use for the title. Grnrchst (talk) 09:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, although I'd probably create DAB at Mariano Vázquez, and move the footballer to Mariano Vázquez (footballer).--Ortizesp (talk) 12:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd support that too, not sure which if either of them are the primary topic. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
