Talk:Danilo Cavalcante

Just out of curiosity, why is the see also section there (and on the linked article too, I guess)? The two articles seem to have no relation. Maximus Pinpoint (talk) 14:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Name

The article is named "Danilo Cavalcante"; however, the overwhelming majority of reliable English-language sources use the "Danelo" spelling, with most sources that are using the "Danilo" spelling being Portuguese-language. Given that, per WP:UCRN, shouldn't the "Danelo" spelling be used for the article title? P1^{(talk / contributions)} 15:34, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Should a fake name be used instead of his real name? 2804:388:411A:9335:1:0:2DBB:8641 (talk) 15:39, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

In fact, the US' press has written his name wrongly. The correct way is "Danilo". Kascyo ^hey 16:02, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

We go by common usage in reliable sources on Wikipedia, not by what is “correct”. Until reliable English language sources use Danilo, we need to reflect their usage: Danelo. —В²C ☎ 16:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Born2cycle Despite the usage of "Danelo" by some sources, Brazilian newspapers use his original name and they should be considered. Kascyo ^hey 18:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kascyo: The policy at WP:UCRN specifically notes that the name used by "a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources" should be used. The Brazilian newspapers using the "Danilo" spelling are primarily Portuguese-language. P1^{(talk / contributions)} 19:00, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Requested move 13 September 2023

Danilo Cavalcante → Danelo Cavalcante – WP:COMMONNAME. Virtually all reliable English sources are using the “e“ spelling. That “i” might be “correct” is irrelevant. В²C ☎ 16:46, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Comment: The Washington Post uses "Danilo" and writes "Authorities and media in the United States have rendered his first name as Danelo". Fox News and Daily Mail mix the two spellings. Joriki (talk) 17:46, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Support: Though "Danelo" may not be technically correct, as В²C notes above, WP:UCRN says we should use the spelling that is used by the significant majority of reliable English-language sources, which is certainly "Danelo." If this changes and sources begin using the "Danilo" spelling, it is at that point that we can use that spelling. P1^{(talk / contributions)} 18:57, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Support: In agreement with P1. "Danelo" is definitely the recognizable name in this instance. EytanMelech (talk) 19:01, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Oppose. All brazilian sources show his correct name, "Danilo" [1]. Also, BBC uses the correct name and explains that US echoes "Danelo" because there were a Chester's Police Department mistake. Kascyo ^hey 19:04, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

The Washington Post also explains that US press adopted "Danelo", ignoring the correct spelling: "Authorities and media in the United States have rendered his first name as Danelo". Kascyo ^hey 19:09, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Saying a name wrong in every American media source does not mean it is correct, please do it right!

Impossible assertion

The sentence "...the Brazilian has experience in hiding in the woods, as he used it as a hiding place when he committed a homicide in 2017 in the same area." cannot be correct because he didn't arrive in "the same area" until 2018. There is no location in Brazil that is "in the same area" as any location in the United States. --Haruo (talk) 16:50, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Definition of crab walk

Is "crab walk" a commonly known term? I had never heard it before this news story. We should probably define it. —danhash (talk) 19:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Why is this subject referred to by his first name throughout the article?

This is completely against Wikipedia naming standards. He should be referred to by his last name. Moncrief (talk) 19:37, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
