Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Support. It is indeed very common, and a little more concise. "Ya'qub al-Mansur" is also very common, if the apostrophe is acceptable for a title. R Prazeres (talk) 09:03, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Almohad caliphs are frequently primarily (in some cases always) referred by their "Abu X" prename (esp. in the chronicles). It is the Almohad norm, and should be retained for consistency. Also helps clarify potential confusions. Abu Yusuf Yaqub is clearly a different person from Abu Yaqub Yusuf. But is Abu Yaqub Yusuf different from Yaqub? Walrasiad (talk) 16:31, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Granted, some works do use merely "Yaqub al-Mansur", but a sufficient number (apparently most) use "Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur" to merit retention of the fuller name here. The shortened name "Yaqub al-Mansur" is contained in the latter, so it should not be a surprise to those looking for the shorter version. But those looking up longer version "Abu Yusuf Yaqub" from works of reference or other casual works will likely be confused (particularly when there are similar names like "Abu Yaqub Yusuf" to misdirect them elsewhere). I don't really see the gain from shortening. Walrasiad (talk) 17:05, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Those references sources are using the formal name. Take a look at Wikipedia:COMMONNAME. To illustrate the concept of commonly used names for the sake of recognizability, it offers the examples:
I understand the spirit, but I don't find it in the evidence. "Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur" is not the official name, it is the common name. Indeed, it is those sources that define what the common name is, as pointed out in WP:COMMONNAME:
"the name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred. Other encyclopedias are among the sources that may be helpful in deciding what titles are in an encyclopedic register, as well as what names are most frequently used."
"In determining which of several alternative names is most frequently used, it is useful to observe the usage of major international organizations, major English-language media outlets, quality encyclopedias, geographic name servers, major scientific bodies, and notable scientific journals."
I specifically used other encyclopedias and general works to find how he was referred to. It is the name they use. Indeed, I went out of my way to search for "Yaqub al-Mansur", and I still end up with "Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur" in the majority of results. In my conclusion, that's the common name.
