Ilan or Illan?

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Isn't Illan with a double-l the correct spelling of Meslier's first name? It's what's used on the club sites of Leeds United^[1] as well as Lorient^[2], at Soccerbase^[3] and Soccerway^[4] and most notably in the player's own Twitter handle.^[5]. Though Sky Sports and perhaps others uses "Ilan"^[6], so there's some confusion. Currently on enwiki "Illan" redirects to "Ilan" but on the balance of probability, especially given what the player and both his permanent and temporary clubs use, should it not be the other way around?
