Dedupe - latin American names rule

Open, Needs TriagePublic

Actions

@AndyRussG explains this as

1 name = last name
2 names = first+last
3 names = first + 2 last
4 names = 2 first + 2 last

Could someone give more context? Is this a particular issue with specific countries? Can I get a fictional example that is not a donor?

Or:
Can someone share a CID that is a good example of what needs cleanup? Is there a CID that looks correct?

Basically it's just typical ways people shorten their names in places where the Spanish naming customs are the norm. Or at least in Mexico... though I just saw that there are differences in other parts of Latin America. So, fictional example, someone whose full name is José Antonio Hernández Morelos (two first names and two last names) might often shorten it as Antonio Hernández. Hope this is helpful!

@Eileenmcnaughton check out this documentation Adriana put together to help with the LATAM NAME script. I'm happy to join a call if you need clarification!

Cool - I've moved the phab into triage so we consider it again in sprint planning
