Talk:Lamine Yamal

Moroccan?

Born in Spain and represents Spain at international level. So why is he described as a Moroccan footballer? StrodoDoggins (talk) 21:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

@StrodoDoggins Just users who keep changing it because of rumours of interest from the Morroco national team who want Lamine Yamal in their squad even though he is currently representing spain. JC Kotisow (talk) 06:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Should I add Lamine being subbed off during the Porto Game?

Lamine was subbed off at the 80th minute due to stomach problems, he left the pitch at ‘71 to use the bathroom, then returned 9 minutes later. Should i add this? Somedev123Gtg (talk) 09:32, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Somedev123Gtg nah the sentence in the article is good otherwise it would start getting wordy JC Kotisow (talk) 10:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Isn't he 16?? 2001:14BB:671:3DF9:0:0:C56:3101 (talk) 19:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

It's not enough to say "New information". It needs to be cited to a reliable published source. Joyous! Noise! 20:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Does he have a child?

Does he have a child Wyclef Jnr (talk) 19:51, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Until we have sources to say otherwise, I think we should assume that a 16-year-old does not have a child. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Irish father?

It says Irish instead of marrocan father on early life paragraph 98.109.170.192 (talk) 20:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Which religion he is practice?

Lamine yamal is muslim,christian,or others religion he practice. 103.109.57.222 (talk) 20:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Muslim 103.153.130.156 (talk) 18:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

We don't have any source on this from the man himself, the rest is just guessing. I saw somebody add that he is a Muslim with a low-quality source that said that he hasn't said anything about it, but his aunts wear veils. Equally, his mother is from a Christian-majority country and doesn't veil. Similarly, Kylian Mbappé has parents from two countries with different traditions, so we wait for the man himself to make his statement, which he does here [1].

Spanish name template

The template is there to say that his name is formatted the Spanish way with two surnames, not that his surname is from Spain. Equally, it would not be the Catalan name template unless there is evidence he formats it the Catalan way with "i" in the middle. This template is helpful because a lot of people think his surname is Yamal. I see no reason to remove it unless people believe he can't be Spanish because his parents are African, which is just a little problematic.

This template doesn't mean his name is from Spain. I see nobody rushing to remove it from Marco Asensio because his second surname is Willemsen, nor from Latin American people with Italian or other surnames. Similarly, we cannot gatekeep what is a Spanish surname (even García is Basque, and so many are Hebrew or Arabic) Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning. But we will agree that for a reader it can be confusing. The phrase literally says: "In this Spanish name" (and it's not a Spanish name at all). There should be a template that says something similar to: This name have a Spanish naming customs. Panenkazo (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm sure the template did use to say "Spanish naming customs", and that is more accurate, as you point out. If you look up anybody from Russia, the template says their name uses "Eastern Slavic naming customs", instead of calling it an "Eastern Slavic name". As this is the conclusion we have both found, the solution would be changing the template, if possible. Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I had no knowledge of the existence of this Russian template. I think there could be a similar template for these cases like Lamine. It would be more accurate. I've opened a discussion on WikiProject Football to find out a bit more about this, setting out both reasons. If you would like to participate that would be great.
