 * The 3 refs on the page [//www.iwf.net/results/results-by-events/?event=116 1] [//web.archive.org/web/20160826130925/https://www.rio2016.com/en/athlete/salwan-jasim-abbood-abbood 2] [//web.archive.org/web/20160922192809/https://www.rio2016.com/en/weightlifting-standings-wl-mens-105kg 3] appear to spell the name with 1 "s". — Andy W.

 * Jassim is a much more common transliteration for the Arabic name "جاسم" all these refs are using his registered name in IWF database, This is not a big deal though. Mohsen1248 (talk) 11:30, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. All the sources cited in the article use the single S as in Jasim, as noted above. It seems that the English common name of this particular person is Jasim. It is not Wikipedia's place or policy to try to correct this by imposing some sort of standard transliteration. Andrewa (talk) 15:43, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
