Ortizesp: Is this consistent with
WP:MONONYM? [D]on't use a first name (even if unambiguous) for an article title if the last name is known and fairly often used. I can't tell from the search coverage how often he's referred to by his full name, but it looks like it might meet "fairly often". Might be a better question for an RM to decide. --

I second you
Tamzin. A random google search also reveals otherwise. If "Matteus" was the COMMONNAME, Google and related sources would be giving that more hits, but it is far, very far. ─

Really there's two questions here: One, is he referred to by his surname so rarely that a mononymic title is justified. And two, is he really the primary topic for this given name? If not, Matteus should probably redirect to Mateus (name), with the footballer to either stay at the current title or be moved to Matteus (footballer) depending on the answer to the first question. --

@
Lennart97: JSYK, that didn't ping me. Not sure why, but I think the issue is that
Echo figures out that you copied my signature at least once, correctly says "So those mentions of her username weren't meant as pings" and then goes the extra step of "So none of the mentions of her username were meant as pings". Easiest way to avoid it is probably to just send any pings as a separate edit from any post copy-pasting a discussion. Regardless, assuming the others weren't pinged either, @
Ortizesp and
TheAafi. --

Support since it's gone to AFD for several reasons. I'm not opposed to
Matteus (footballer), but don't think there's a point.
He's the only person on the English Wikipedia project with this spelling variation as a name.
His overwhelming
WP:COMMONNAME is just "Matteus", doesn't use his legal name in a sporting sense. All of the referneces on his page list him as just Matteus without even mentioning his last name:

Matteus redirect here or too this player, I am not sure about that as it is a common first name in Spanish naming customs. Even the drink Mateous Rosé could be considered.
