No middle name[edit]

Regarding this edit: I disagree that it is helpful to include the name twice just to imply that he has no middle name. Just because other articles do so, doesn't make it a good idea either. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:25, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikkimaria: It also must be noted that he might actually have a middle name that we do not know of. All of the databases and articles don't list one but that doesn't necessarily mean that he has no middle name. As for listing the name a second time, I don't think that is necessary until I can find something about him having a middle name. Regards, Jith12 (talk) 14:08, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jith12: Incorrect, the reference next to the full name is confirmation that he has no middle name. In the Premier League squad lists all names are included. These documents are used as the reference on here for nearly all players at PL clubs. Sixtrap (talk) 14:27, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sixtrap: Thank you for the clarification, I was unaware of the document outlining all middle names. Still, I am not sure if the full name parameter is completely necessary. I don't think it really adds anything to the article. Is there some kind of policy that we can refer to for middle names? Regards, Jith12 (talk) 14:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jith12: I did look for a policy or any clarification before but couldn't find anything. The reason I felt it was worth including was to have the reference showing he has no middle name. While his full name is already included, that doesn't show whether he has no middle name or it just isn't known. A minor thing and just a matter of opinions really.
