This guy is known under the name Gabri and should be sorted that way. Some sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. That should be enough. SportsAddicted | discuss 20:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Some sources" isn't good enough. It needs to be nearly always, and it clearly is not. His current team lists him as Gabriel García de la Torre, for example.[6]Gene Nygaard 15:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's just his full name. When they signed him and published the news on their website they also named him Gabri, see [7]. He is nearly always called Gabri, just compare [8][9] and [10] for instance. You are doing a pretty good job sorting all over Wikipedia, which I praise, but if you don't know the subject and someone else corrects you please accept it. I don't have a source but he is also playing with "Gabri" on his shirt. SportsAddicted | discuss 22:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Common usage is a determiner for article naming, not for category sorting. The sort key must reflect the title of the article, and nothing else. For as long as the article is at "Gabriel García de la Torre", it must sort as such (i.e. Surname, Forename). Were it to be at "Gabri (footballer)", then it would sort as "Gabri", but until then, it must not. If you are right that most sources call him Gabri (which may well be the case), then move the article, but don't change the sort key without moving the article. Category indexing is neither a surrogate for, nor a means of sidestepping, naming conventions. --Stemonitis 18:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even Raúl González, does not named as just Raúl. Even it is popularly known Gabri surname is Garcia. Matthew_hktc 13:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
