Name

The sources out there all seem to use different variations of his name making WP:COMMONNAME tricky. Any suggestions on what to name this article are welcome. Hobit (talk) 15:50, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The motions filed by his attorneys say "Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia" (with an n in his middle name), but the news articles that I've seen in Spanish spell his last name as Ábrego García. I'm still inclined to use the English spelling of his last name, as I think that's the spelling that is used by more news sources. I'm also inclined to omit his middle name. I actually think that the article should be renamed something like "Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia," as it's the manner of his deportation and the resulting lawsuit that make this notable.

Like Detention of Mahmoud Khalil. Bremps... 19:47, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it does make more sense as an event article and support the move. It will, of course, require a bit of a rewrite of the lede. Hobit (talk) 22:51, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I checked further re: names with accents, and both WP:UE and WP:ENGLISH say that we should use the spelling in English. I've left a note for an experienced editor who works a lot with foreign languages, double-checking how the name should be treated in the body of the article. FactOrOpinion (talk) 23:05, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I went ahead and moved it, and only afterwards realized that I hadn't corrected the spelling of his first name. So we'll need to move it again. Sorry about that. FactOrOpinion (talk) 23:44, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move makes sense to me. Remember (talk) 01:00, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How to unitalicize the title?

Thanks. Apokrif (talk) 20:06, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering that myself. Anyone know? I looked for the {{italic title}} template and couldn't find it. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 20:11, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
