Andrei ȘerbanAndrei Serban – Subject is a Romanian-born U.S. citizen and does not use the diacritic which is part of his birth name. The absence of the diacritic is analogous to other foreign-born academics, such as Zbigniew Brzeziński or Stanisław Wójcicki who have dropped the diacritics in their names (for the record, Wójcicki also Americanized his given name to "Stanley"). Even romania-on-line.net refers to Andrei Serban, not Andrei Șerban.     Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 08:13, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Support for the same reason we don't strip non-Americans of their names and Americanize them (unless they are that one pretty blonde East European former tennis player who shall not be mentioned) so we don't have to retain full Unicode names for East Europeans who have renounced their original nationality.
