Infobox

Fleets Unless there's an actual reason for this illogical and WP:POINTy edit, it will be reverted to comply with the instructions at Template:Infobox rugby league biography. Cheers. – ².O.^Boxing 10:33, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I find it quite logical and do not read your links in the way that you are reading them. Remember I am not the one removing cited sources from reputable organisations.Fleets (talk) 10:55, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fleets Per Template:Infobox rugby league biography the name parameter is to be used for Name of player, not nickname; his name is Danny Wicks, not Danny "Wicksy" Wicks. The full name parameter is to be used for the Full name of player, if different than name above. Danny Wicks is not different to Danny Wicks.

Removing cited sources from reputable organisations is not a valid reason for your edit. What is the reason for your edit? – ².O.^Boxing 11:20, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is a nickname, not a name? A great many Australians are referred to by their nickname in commentary, by their teammates, by administrators and by fans. Given that you Daniel is too far a stretch for your imagination (he could be a she, and be a Danielle after all). I think that this is quite logical to go one way or the other, but to deny both seems a little personal.Fleets (talk) 11:28, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, his nickname is not his name. His nickname is his nickname and his name is his name. They're seperate. Hence the seperate parameters. Considering you haven't provided a source to state his given name is Daniel, I'm assuming there isn't any. That's not denying something, that's WP:BLP. His birth name could be Dane, Daniello, Danillo, Dannel, Dannell. Including Daniel without a source is a textbook case of WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH.

Only two references have mention of the name Wicksy. In all instances they're quotes from teammates. Every reference in the article (including the aforementioned ones) refer to him as Danny or Wicks throughout, demonstrating Wicksy is not a commonly used nickname (we follow what the majority of reliable sources publish, in all instances, not your WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH that everybody calls him Wicksy). The fact that the only mentions of Wicksy I can find are in quotes from friends, that would make it a MOS:BADNICK (not encyclopaedic). It's usage in the lead wouldn't be supported by the relevant MOS; It's usage in the infobox isn't supported by the relevant template guidance or the relevant infobox parameter; even a mere mention isn't supported by MOS:BADNICK. Do you have a compelling reason to go against the above? As of yet, I find returning cited source and Is a nickname, not a name? not applicable and nonsensical, respectively. – ².O.^Boxing 12:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
