You can make a request for a move, sure. But my reasoning is sound - the club he plays for call him Alejandro Balde. No accents, just that. The club are gonna be a better source than Soccerway or Transfermarkt!

Davidlofgren1996: There definitely is some ambiguity (just look at the pages in Spanish or other languages), so I think an argument could have been made for any of the names I used, that are also used in a lot of secondary sources. But ok, you think that the name on the barca website was the one to be used, and I can understand that. But trying to force a redirection in
an article that was created beforethe one you created is not the right way to do it. You should have just renamed the first version with the "correct" spelling, not created another version! I can understand you might not have seen it, but then again going on
WP:RM or just starting a discussion seems like a more reasonable option than doing disruptive editing on this voice. --

I’ve had a look at the timings of the articles and they’re two minutes apart! I only found the other article when creating redirects for the version I created. We’ll see what other members of the community think.

Alejandro Baldé →
Alejandro Balde – This article was created first here under the spelling "Álex Balde", and another version was created under "Alejandro Balde" a few minutes later. Several spellings are used by secondary sources for this player, but "Alejandro Balde" seems to be the one used by the player and his club. So I don't know if we should delete the chronologically second version to allow the move of this one, or if we should merge them, I genuinely don't know what is more appropriate in this circumstances. Thanks for your help.
