Regis PitbullRégis Pitbull – Known as Régis Pitbull in almost all reliable coverage of him. A redirect should be kept. EpicPupper 23:26, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Can you cite some sources? I made a Google search, and the only results I got for "Régis" were not from English-language sites. 162 etc. (talk) 01:01, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
    162 etc., this RM was made as a result of Spiderone's comment on this AfD. I found a few sources like [1] and [2], but pinging Spiderone for more. As a personal note, I believe that this should be renamed as it is the legal/given name of the player. EpicPupper 21:42, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per nom; more hits for "Régis Pitbull" than "Regis Pitbull" and also the name used in most RS like Uol, ESPN and Globo. A lot of the ones using 'Regis' are sites like Transfermarkt and FBRef which are not the best for this sort of thing. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 17:37, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'll again note that per WP:DIACRITICS, we should be looking at what English-language sources are using. 162 etc. (talk) 21:00, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
