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]
