Lidia Gueiler → Lydia Gueiler – "Y" spelling seems to be the one used by Gueiler. It's reflected in presidential decrees during her presidency, in authored works, and in her authorized biography.

This would warrant a full discussion because it seems like "Lidia" is the WP:COMMONNAME in English-language sources: The New York Times, BBC, The Independent, The Washington Post, The Times, Los Angeles Times, El Pais, Reuters, Encyclopædia Britannica, Bolivian Express, United Press International, etc., as well as numerous books and academic sources.

Would WP:COMMONNAME really apply in this situation, though? That policy seems to be most applicable to people known by a name or nickname different from their birthname. In this case, the only difference is that one spelling is the more correct one. Should a misspelling be preferred simply because most sources use it? Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That'd be up to the RM process to decide. Since most sources spell it "Lidia", it's likely that somebody searching for her article would also expect it to be at "Lidia". At most, IMO, we should include a WP:EXPLNOTE in the lead of her article explaining that it is sometimes spelled "Lydia". RachelTensions (talk) 03:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
