I think default sort is a mistake for Arabic names

I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.

People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do. Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.

And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are.

Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

Muhammad Hamid al-Qarani → Mohamed el Gharani — ^ His name used by all major sources like NYT's, BBC, Reuters, Der Spiegel... [1],[2],[3],[4] IQinn (talk) 07:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But which is the most accurate transcription of his Arabic-alphabet name? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to find any reliable source for the current name. The reliable secondary sources i have seen use either:

Mohamed el Gharani used in NYT's,Reuters, Der Spiegel, Mohammed el Gharani...

Mohamed el-Gharani used in BBC...

Mohammed el Gharani used in Aljazeera

These are the most common translation i have seen. I am not sure about the hyphen and the Aljazeera version could stand for a better translation. I would suggest to use the first version Mohamed el Gharani as it is used in the most and the most reliable sources. IQinn (talk) 08:20, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guantánamo Kid - by Jerome Tubiana, Alexandre Franc and el Gharani with the support of Amnesty International

Hello, a graphic novel was published in March 2018 about the detention of al Gharani. I made the page on frwiki : fr:Guantánamo Kid. Many national newspapers (France & Belgium) commented this book, which was awarded the Belgian Atomium Prize for Journalism in Comics (prix Atomium de la BD de reportage, not sure my translation is the best). Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough to write a paragraph about the book on enwiki.
