Diacritics for some topics are more accepted than others. Check the bottom of the WP:RM backlog for a series of disputes about Vietnamese foods that, taken as a whole have little consensus. But more than half a dozen recent requests, usually in batches, regarding personal names have closed with clear consensus for including the diacritical marks. The way I see it, if a person's name is Åberg and you give it as Aberg, you've made a mistake. It may be a common mistake, sometimes due to typographical restrictions, but there's no good reason for an international encyclopedia to do so. Some take more nuanced positions. --BDD (talk) 04:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well that makes sense then, thanks. So this current name title would get the redirect to the proposed new title for those who don't know how to type diacritics using a bog standard keyboard? If that be so, then I would still stick to my decision of redirecting one into the other (which ever article name gets chosen as the main name). Wesley Mouse 04:30, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, there will be redirects either way, that's standard practice. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 16:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per encyclopedic correctness. HandsomeFella (talk) 10:29, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - now that my questions/comments have been answered and my mind put at ease, I too support the move with a redirect option too for those who are non-comprehensible about typing diacritics using an average keyboard. Wesley Mouse 10:32, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
