Although he changed his name upon conversion to Islam in mid-2008, it isn't clear that the new name has stuck. Agencia Bissau is still calling him by his old name. [1] Everyking (talk) 17:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So is AFP, and it's been nearly a year since his conversion. I'm moving the article to "Kumba Yala". Everyking (talk) 22:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. Tricky one - interesting that these agencies would use his old name if he had officially changed it. Do we have a precedent somewhere on the 'pedia? Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I have left a note here hoping that someone who actually knows about politics of this region can shed some light on it. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:11, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia prioritizes common names, so all you need to know is that Kumba Yala (in its various spellings) is the most commonly used name. Everyking (talk) 02:45, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I understand that, but I was concerned about a time delay as he'd only changed his name several months ago, so was/is it just a time delay thing we're seeing here. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:23, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

International news agencies use the old name, Kumba Yala: [2]. Nobody, as far as I can see, uses the new name. I once again call for moving the article. Everyking (talk) 16:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
