Which name should we use for the title? edit
Hello everyone! I just wanted to open a conversation about this article, which I created a little while ago.
Although it's not really that big of a deal, I need some advice on the name I should use as a title: for now, I went for the "double-surname" format, as I thought it would be a good compromise. In fact, the sources I've cited all contrast with one another in providing the "correct" name: some stick to the same format as mine, others just go for "Hurtado", while other ones (including Soccerway and Worldfootball) only use "Cabezas".
Since I haven't got enough familiarity with the registration of double surnames, I'd really appreciate any type of help here!

- Hi, according to what I've seen from the media coverage of the recent South American U-20 Championship both Jorge Cabezas and Jorge Cabezas Hurtado are used interchangeably, so I would be unsure about deciding on one or the other as the player's WP:COMMONNAME at this point. In my opinion it would be necessary to see how the English-speaking press begins to refer to him once they are in contact with him, but since the general practice is using the paternal surname (the first one) only, I think they will likely drop the maternal surname (the second one) and leave him as "Jorge Cabezas".

- Going off what CodeMars has said about the English press: The Athletic, Goal.com, Eurosport and kinda the BBC all use both surnames. As Oltrepier pointed out, Watford confusingly just use Hertado in their signing announcement (but both otherwise) - likely caused by confusion due to a different English tradition - with one BBC article quoting Watford doing the same. The article title should use both, I think, as should the text. Kingsif (talk) 09:13, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- @CodeMars04 @Kingsif Right, let's keep it how it is at the moment, and then we'll see how it develops.
- Thank you so much for the help! Oltrepier (talk) 09:41, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Gillingham FC (my burden in life) have signed him, and the club's web site announcement has him as Cabezas Hurtado, but social media as Hurtado. His own self-introduction sounds like Caza Hurtado (https://twitter.com/TheGillsFC/status/1753070701509067100). I have emailed the club and asked them to determine his preference and to announce it.or at least use it consistently. Kevin McE (talk) 10:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
