  • Comment: There's no mention of/source for being Gabon's only female Olympic swimmer but there are sources saying that Maël Ambonguilat (male) was Gabon's first Olympic swimmer in 2016,([1]) and that the Mpali siblings (Aya and her brother) are the only 2020 Gabonese swimmers([2]). The hook may be "overloaded", so can pick any of the many interesting facts about this barely-17-year-old!

It was too short and not sure about ref as it was repeating another source explicitly... so I added another. As you note the original hook was overloaded so I have used that to create an abridged version. Hopefully this can make it for the 30th @Schwede66: but if not I suggest Alt2 (approval required). Its neutral, I can see no close paraphrasing. QPQ done. GTG. Victuallers (talk) 09:26, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Common name

[edit]

What's this person's common name? I've seen the full name being used—Aya Girard de Langlade Mpali—as per the current article name, including by Olympedia (and that outfit is usually quite good with common names). I've also seen Aya Girard and Aya Mpali being used. Pings to Kingsif and Victuallers. Schwede66 22:33, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

When not sure about common name, use full name. The Olympic Games themselves have announced her both as Mpali and with the full name, same with her brother, so there may not be a definitive common name yet. Kingsif (talk) 05:44, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have an equal level of ignorance on this one Victuallers (talk) 07:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
