Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved by QatarStarsLeague. --BDD (talk) 20:32, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

– Sorry folks. I know these diacritic RMs are supposed to be a thing of the past and Tech Moves are available. However someone discovered a cluster of Serbian footballers and a basketballer (possibly from before soccerway.com followed sportsreference.com and went Unicode?) and a formal move request is required. Per WP:UE "German for German politicians", WP:EN "Tomás Ó Fiaich, not Tomas O'Fiaich", WP:NCP "Antoni Gaudí", WP:MOSPN "Wikipedia normally retains these special characters", WP:RS "sources reliable for the statement being made". Incidentally, evident with User contributions in each case that stub creators were diligently trying to spell fully, just missed these in haste. The ASCII names aren't deliberate.

Support with thanks to TRM for finding them. Agathoclea (talk) 11:24, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Wikipedia should not be dumbed down by omitting diacritics where they exist. Number 5 7 18:10, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The articles have already been moved by someone not involved in this discussion. Judging by the the outcomes of similar discussions and the direction this is already going I recommend to let the move stand until the discussion is closed without creating an official status-quo Agathoclea (talk) 18:25, 1 August 2013 (UTC) [reply]

I agree with Agathoclea, with thanks for informing the mover about why they moved these pages in error. Dohn joe (talk) 21:14, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support, with a question on one. These all seem to fall under the limited-English-usage exception in WP:UE, so there should not be an issue with using the diacritical versions here. Except - Milan Jeremic seems to have taken Greek citizenship. Since we seem to unofficially follow a person's chosen nationality when it comes to diacritics, what impact does his Greek citizenship have on the rendering of his name here? An interesting question, since Greece does not use the Latin alphabet. If he had moved to Australia, we could comfortably remove his diacritics - but what about here? I welcome any thoughtful responses. Dohn joe (talk) 21:14, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since Greek is not in Latin Script we would need to transliterate a transliteration. Makes not much sense to me. Agathoclea (talk) 07:29, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
