I regret to disagree, but the logic behind that is flawed. If Stoudemire's first name has recently (read: as of 2008) been requested to be changed from Amare to Amar'e, then in 2002, at the time he was drafted, his name had obviously not yet been adjusted to that spelling. It's anachronistic to be displayed that way. For the same reason Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is referred to as Lew Alcindor in the 1969 NBA Draft template. Tariq Abdul-Wahad as Olivier Saint-Jean in the 1997 NBA Draft template. How about the person selected two picks ahead of Stoudemire? --

Well, my request was just to avoid a redirect within the
Amar'e Stoudemire article - what was happening was that the "Amar'e" article would link to the redirect within the template, which would link back to the "Amar'e" article. I agree with the historical accuracy issue, so it should be piped and entered as [[Amar'e Stoudemire|Amare Stoudemire]] (without the accent over the "e"). Does that make sense? --

Yes, it sure does. Can we change it, or have it changed? Thanks.--

I think the larger issue is why is this template protected? —

OK, so the template is unprotected (well semi-protected). But now I'm wondering if his name should be changed. Looking at his article, it says his name has always been Amar'e, but the media has always spelled it incorrectly...so it's not really a "name change". —
