Polish name

I noticed that the Polish spelling of her name (Dominika Baniewicz) and the fact that she is part of the Polish minority in Lithuania was removed. Why is that? I think we should restore these informations. Marcelus (talk) 20:43, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The article should be locked due to the edit war between Polish and Lithuanians. Both sides want to claim her as theirs, specifically after the Olympic win. It's clearly editing with a specific agenda.

So far there has not been, in my opinion, a single credible source about her minority status, besides a clearly biased minor Polish publication. She is a Lithuanian citizen and has chosen to represent Lithuania. Perhaps more enlightened could discuss and make the final decision.

I would like to further clarify that the surname does not equate to being of an ethnic minority. There are ethnic Lithuanians with Russian/Belarussian/Polish and other surnames. That's just how it is. Again, until a credible (preferably Lithuanian) source clearly states her Polish minority status, it should be assumed from her citizenship and choice to represent Lithuania that she is Lithuanian. Those are my two cents, even if I am wrong on the wikipedia's standard classification of ethnic minorities. 2A02:8108:80C0:4355:90F2:DFFD:5F9C:AB08 (talk) 13:40, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Banevič represents Lithuania, there is no indication by the Polish Olympic Comittee to claim her as "theirs", certainly not in the article. The surname "Baniewicz" is used by the Lithuanian Polish-language media. Marcelus (talk) 17:49, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The surname "Baniewicz" and Polish ethnicity have absolutely no justification. It is possible to use not Lithuanian characters (e.g. "w") in name, but there is not a single source that D. Banevič writes her surname Baniewicz or presents herself as Polish. Reference to Polish-language media is not serious, official sources WDSF profile and IOC Athlete profile (https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/athlete/-nicka_1924559#bio) - everywhere Dominika Banevic (or Banevič), nowhere Baniewicz. 88.216.164.52 (talk) 15:42, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lithuanian Polish-language media use the name "Dominika Baniewicz", I think that basically concludes the discussion. Marcelus (talk) 08:16, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lithuanian Russian-language media use the name "Доминика Баневич". With same logic Marcelus should add Russian transcription. But unfortunately logic of Marcelus is only based on his nationality. Shame on you. 88.216.164.52 (talk) 10:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
