Name Spelling

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


His name is spelled Phillippe Aumont with 2 L's and P's. The Toronto Star and montreal gazette (Canadian newspapers) both say his name is spelled like this.Joesixpac 17:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now, I know Google is not the "sees all, knows all" on usage, but it can be useful for establishing a general pattern. SRC and La Presse seem to distinctly prefer one l, two p’s, by an overwhelming margin in the latter case; Le Devoir I can't peg one way or t'other. I think the spelling of the lad's name needs to be determined for sure before we move it, lest we have to move it again; the say-so of two anglo papers is not enough to make a decision on. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 05:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The MLB site spells it with two l's and two p's...if that helps at all! --Nightfreak 02:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but is she a reliable source? Do we cite her as: "Phillippe Aumonte <ref>His mom said so!</ref> Or is using her a conflict of interest? Or would she be "momcruft"? :D --SigPig |SEND - OVER 02:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But, seriously, folks, up until the time someone actually does telephone/email/text/channel Mme Aumont, does anyone know how he spells his name? Like in a photo of an autograph? --SigPig |SEND - OVER 02:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In English language sources, the double-l, double-p seems to be overwhelmingly more common. I'm in Seattle, and could drop by the Mariners' stadium and ask someone. Maybe I can get something in writing. -GTBacchus(talk) 05:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 20:46, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]

The infobox should be removed because he doesn't play for the Seattle Mariners, he hasn't even signed yet i don't think. When he makes the majors, then the info box should be used.69.158.123.202 21:51, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

He is listed as "Phillippe" (2 L's, 2 P's) under the list of 2007 Draft picks on the Mariners' official site[1], and a recent article regarding his progress in Class A minor league ball also has his name spelt as "Phillippe"[2]. Pandacomics (talk) 08:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
