Roberto de Oliveira (soccer) appears to be a duplicate of this player. As this page does not have a qualifier, I believe it should be the main page for the player. @ Davidlofgren1996 and Michaelwallace22: -- dashiellx ( talk) 21:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Dashiellx: Good catch. I was unable to find this page when I created Roberto de Oliveira (soccer) back in 2020 (possibly because of the misspelling) hence the duplication. As there is another footballer with this name ( Roberto Oliveira (footballer, born 1980)), as well as a disambiguation page here, would it be worth merging the two articles ( Roberto DeOliviera and Roberto de Oliveira (soccer)) and renaming it Roberto de Oliveira (soccer, born 1955), as to distinguish?

@ Davidlofgren1996:I would defer to someone more knowledgeable on the player and how he spells his name. I would imagine 'DeOliviera' is an Americanization of his family name, but I wouldn't want to assume the player would prefer de Oliveira without a source. -- dashiellx ( talk) 13:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Dashiellx: I don't think it's an Americanisation, as all of the sources I've found (on Roberto de Oliveira (soccer)) have his name as Roberto De Oliveira. The question would be rather: is the De capitalised. DeOliviera is a misspelling, I'm certain. Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 16:20, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Davidlofgren1996: Images of his jerseys don't show the "de" and this team shot shows DeOliviera, but this one shows De Oliviera. -- dashiellx ( talk) 16:40, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Dashiellx: The spelling on the article has the i before the e, this was my main issue with it. Even the two sources you have provided have the e before the i, which I believe to be the correct spelling. The issue now is how to format the "de", whether it would be "De Oliveira", "de Oliveira" or "DeOliveira". Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 17:20, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Davidlofgren1996: LOL...I didn't even notice the i before the e, I was too focused on "de O", "DeO", or "De O" -- dashiellx ( talk) 18:26, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Dashiellx: Haha no worries! Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 18:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Redirected the stub with the agreed error (nothing to merge); the change of 'de' can be left if no-one is particularly concerned ... Klbrain ( talk) 00:09, 26 June 2022 (UTC) reply
