Merger discussion

How can we know if this is the same person as Alphonse Decuyper? Sander.v.Ginkel ^(Talk) 20:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the sculptor's name is spelt incorrectly it should be Alfons De Cuyper https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/dibe/persoon/9708 this link says he won a medal at the 1920 Olympics Iantheimp (talk) 22:25, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why would a French water polo player and a Belgian sculptor be the same person? Same year of birth (presumably, if no one has confused the two before), and a similar name, that's really not sufficient.

I also tagged his date of death with a fact tag, the link above[1] gives another year (note that the dates shouldn't be used, 1 January is typical shorthand for "unknown"). Fram (talk) 07:50, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
