If the subject is indeed "of Jamaican and Filipino descent" then the addition of accents is quite unusual since neither of these countries typically uses them, even for Spanish derived names. Is it because he plays for
Deportivo La Coruña? — AjaxSmack 03:59, 4 March 2009 (UTC)reply
There is divided usage. His official webpage for the Canadian National team
[1] has it w/o the accents; his official webpage (in English) for Deportivo La Coruña has it with the accents
[2]. In this event, the controlling guideline is
Wikipedia:Use_English#Divided_usage, which says to "leave the article name at the latest stable version. If it is unclear whether an article's name has been stable, defer to the name used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub." --

There is not evenly divided usage. Almost no English language sources use the accents. The page you have cited for use of the accents is not a reliable source and has multiple grammar errors.--

Comment - as one of the reviewing admins at
WP:RM, I'd like to point out that it would be helpful if more evidence would be provided either demonstrating either that the unaccented name is preferred in English-language sources, or there is indeed split usage (which would result in the page remaining as it is now). Thanks.

Yes, in quotes. I didn't exclude pages that have the word wikipedia, as you did in those Google queries. Either way it's pretty clear that usage is not evenly split.--

In short, you've been shown imminent reason, charts comparing how different leagues display height, and in the end it was decided that height in metres is perfectly acceptable and your soap-boxing to the contrary is not a productive use of anyone's time.

That change wasn't possible until it was was decided that height in centimetres should be allowed for by that template so sources could be matched with. A change you yourself appeared to argue in favour of. And please explain what "soap boxing" I'm doing. Perhaps you've got your editors mixed up.--

Gibson IIRC furing the {{height}} RFC you were told by a number of editors, myself included, not to introduce 'cm' to articles on footballers without first consulting
WP:FOOTBALL so we could get consensus on a standard display for all footballer articles. The more you edit, the more disruptive you appear.
GiantSnowman11:39, 20 June 2014 (UTC)reply
So, we go by m as it is standard here? I support that! It's common at football articles around here and by sources. And i have yet to see one reason why we should change that. (See the Marcelo article).
