Dunstable

edit

Don Gilet is listed at Dunstable#Notable people, but the town is not mentioned in this article. If anyone knows of a reliable source connecting him to the town, please can they add the information here. (Note that a mirror of the Dunstable Wikipedia article is not a reliable source.) If after one month there is no confirmation, I will remove the link from the Dunstable article. JonH (talk) 22:10, 4 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Gilet, Gilét or Gilèt?

edit

Which is his preferred spelling of his surname? Its Gilét here in 1993, here in 1994 and here in 2007 but Gilèt only here in 2011. Jim Craigie (talk) 23:54, 24 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry about the rushed reply – I hope I haven't startled you with its speed.
At the moment, I am just seeing Gilet. I have not yet found a reliable way of searching just for accented versions and ignoring the plain one – does a technique exist? All the publicity around Death in Paradise seems to omit the accent. I am wondering if we should not just accept this common usage? I can't find an official site for him per se and what appears to be his agent's site just calls him Gilet.
Is it time to call a halt on the accents, or does someone have reliable evidence why we should not? Best to all, DBaK (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
