Spelling of article name should include diacritical marks.

@Moscow Mule: It's a person's name and per Wikipedia:Diacritical_marks "Whenever the most common spelling in English-language reliable sources is the person's real name, or the name with the diacritical marks simply omitted, the proper name (with the diacritics) is normally used. This should be redirected back to Francisco Ortíz de la Renta. Back then the Reliable Source typewriters didn't allow for diacritical marks.

@The Eloquent Peasant: I absolutely agree with you on the inclusion of diacritical marks in people's names, but "Ortiz", according to Spanish spelling rules, doesn't take an accent. And this chap's listing on the Ponce municipality list of mayors (archive -- the only reference that isn't dead, I think, which I assume is the RS you're referring to) is surrounded by many others that do have their diacritics (Benítez, Ordóñez, Dávila...) so, presumably, Ortiz would have got one had it been necessary. FWIW, the list has a lot of other entries with the surame Ortiz de la Renta (important local family?), none of which get accents. Moscow Mule (talk) 19:55, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I see that some of those others -- eg, José Ortiz de la Renta and José Casimiro Ortíz de la Renta -- also have articles here, and the name is handled inconsistently. Moscow Mule (talk)

@Moscow Mule: - Oh Wow! I think you're right. See here. Ortiz - I learned something. --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 01:12, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@The Eloquent Peasant: Cool. No harm, no foul, then. And if you're convinced, would you mind editing your comment on WP:RMT, just to make things easier for the page-move authority who decides to assess that request? Moscow Mule (talk) 01:31, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
