Tarek Al Ali → Tarek El Ali – official name per the Asian Football Confederation (see source 1 and 2) Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 14:40, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:11, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Seems reasonable, but do you have any reliable, independent sources to also confirm this proposed new name is common name? Doug Mehus T·C 15:24, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dmehus: Transfermarkt, Footballdatabase and Sofascore all call him "El Ali". Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 16:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  Nehme1499, Thanks, that's fine. I understand sourcing is hard to come by for persons in frontier and emerging market regions, so I'm fine with this move. Doug Mehus T·C 17:34, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
