Suleyman (mansa) → Sulayman of Mali – As per the recently-conducted move of Khalifa (mansa) to Khalifa of Mali, WP:NCROY and WP:TITLEDAB indicate that the title Sulayman of Mali is more in line with Wikipedia title naming conventions. However, for consistency with Mansa Musa, for whom WP:COMMONNAME applies, Mansa Sulayman is also an option. In any case, a natural disambiguation would be preferable to a parenthetical one, and I think the spelling "Sulayman" should be favored over "Suleyman", as it appears to be the more common spelling of the name. Scholarly sources, such as UNESCO's General History of Africa, Levtzion and Hopkins' Corpus of Early Arabic Sources for West African History, and Gomez's African Dominion, seem to primarily use the transliteration "Sulaymān". "Mansa Sulayman" turns up 117 results on Google Scholar, whereas "Mansa Suleyman" turns up 69 results, some of which seem to be based on Wikipedia. Ornithopsis ( talk) 18:16, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
