From the history of the article:

  • Removing diacritics is a mistake and not how you properly translate a name to English. As such the diacritics are more accurate than removing them incorrectly would be. Per commonname inaccurate names are not used even if they are more commonly used in reliable sources. -DJSasso (talk) 19:08, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Removing diacritics doesn't make a name english, it makes it misspelt. PBS, which bit of "more accurate name" is causing you problems? It's three unambiguous words.

  • "Removing diacritics doesn't make a name english" who say it does? If reliable English language sources remove accent marks, then is that not the name used in reliable English language sources? If English language sources leave the accent marks in place that is that not the name used in English reliable sources? The content of Wikipedia articles are based on verifiable reliable sources, not on editorial POVs, as should article titles. It seems to me that "accurate" is an editorial POV and not an observation based on usage in reliable English language sources. If not, then what is the reliable source being used to determine that "Ondřej Malinský" is more accurate than "Ondrej Malinsky"? -- PBS (talk) 09:23, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
