Abedi Pele not Abédi Pelé

edit

Abedi Pele hails from Ghana. Is it right that because he played the rest of his football in France, Wikipedia should change the spelling of his name and add the accents? Who decides how names are spelt on Wikipedia? I think this article should be redirected to Abedi Pele unless he himself decides that he has changed the spelling of his name.--Natsubee (talk) 15:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

The name change has nothing to do with his playing career;maybe Wiki copy -right! Maharba10 (talk) 04:23, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Abédi PeléAbedi Pele — This is the usual spelling of his name. The French press added the diacritics when he moved to France to continue his football. Wikipedia has taken that changed spelling instead of the original. --Natsubee (talk) 09:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • "Is it fair to change the way his name is written simply because he does not come from USA or Europe? The west seems to sometimes impose its will on others even on wikipedia." - this is not only speculation, but almost certainly untrue. Most names from Africa do not get changed, some from in Europe do. Knepflerle (talk) 14:16, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • I am used to seeing this player's name without the diacritics - some evidence of this would be nice, as it is the relative frequency which matters. Any arguments about the origins of their use are unsourced and irrelevant, however. Knepflerle (talk) 00:29, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
