Gao (mansa) → Mansa Qu – Either Mansa Qu, reflecting how he is commonly referred, or Qu of Mali, reflecting WP:NCROY would be acceptable; I'm still not really sure which style should be preferred for Malian rulers. The name of this person, in Arabic, is قو (based on both back-transliterating from Levtzion and Hopkins (2000) and this source [1]). The strict transliteration of this name would be Qū or Qw. He is called Gao by Niane (1959, in French), Kaw by Niane (1984), Qu by Person (1981) and Canós-Donnay (2019), and Qū by Levtzion (1963, 1980), Levtzion and Hopkins (2000), and Gomez (2018). The name Qū is apparently identified with a name in oral tradition given as Ko by Person (1981) and Niane (1984). Incidentally, there seems to be some confusion involving the Qu and Muhammad ibn Qu mentioned by Ibn Khaldun and the Ko Mamadi/Kon Mamadi of oral tradition that I don't really understand yet.
