Renault Megane E-TechRenault Mégane E-Tech – Correct name of car. Article was incorrectly renamed earlier. Cf Renault Mégane and see Renault press release.  Mr.choppers | ✎  18:33, 28 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 19:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

English-language sources seem even less likely to use the accent than French ones. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure where I implied that I believed that they would be more likely to. I was just pointing out that Francophone sources aren't really relevant here since the car has received significant coverage from Anglophone reliable sources. I have no strong preference for either spelling. However, the fact remains that many English sources do use the accent, and Renault themselves have used the accent in the English-language press releases. It is also worth noting that several sources I've seen seem to drop accents in headings but retain them in prose, possibly for search-engine-optimisation purposes, which may make the accented version initially appear less common than it actually is. Even if the unaccented version is somewhat more common, it isn't overwhelmingly so, and readers are unlikely to be confused by its presence. I don't see any reason to prefer one usage over the other so far as English Wikipedia's article naming policies go other than WP:TITLECHANGES adaptation of MOS:STYLERET.

I support adding "Electric" as per Andra and HBP5; I hope that doesn't mean we will have to relist?  Mr.choppers | ✎  20:50, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
