Friedrich Saemisch → Friedrich Saemisch (politician) – Ambiguous with Friedrich Sämisch - these are both the same name, but transliterated differently. Redirect Friedrich Saemisch to the primary topic Friedrich Sämisch. 162 etc. (talk) 19:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Although German Wikipedia entries for the two men list their names in the same manner as English Wikipedia, databases for the chess player show "Saemisch", not "Sämisch". Although it is indeed basically the same surname, contemporary German references confirm that the form used by the jurist / politician was always "Saemisch", while the chess player's German references indicate "Sämisch". However, the two English-language chess databases at the bottom of his English Wikipedia entry, depict his surname as "Saemisch". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:14, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
