Cláudio Ibrahim Vaz LealBranco (footballer) — He is far more widely known by this name; renaming the article would make it far easier to find and identify in categories. —ArtVandelay13 (talk) 13:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I Disagree, this is an ecyclopedia so we try to use the proper names everytime. Also you said it would be easier to find the article by typing "Braco"... That's why we have the redirections ;)Zisimos (talk) 15:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we don't list Pele or Bob Dylan or John Wayne by their real names - it's arguably more encyclopaedic to use their 'common' names. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 15:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I now support such a move - I feel that a player's page should match whatever they are known as in the sport. GiantSnowman (talk) 17:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
