Röya (singer)Roya (Azerbaijani singer) – "Röya" in azerbaijani, in english must be "Roya" SaHiB.SHaKHaYeV (talk) 15:10, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All the sources in the article spell it Röya, and per WP:DIACRITICS, it is okay to use non-English characters if that is the common usage. Please provide reliable sources that Roya in the Engligh common name. --Ahecht (TALK

Please provide evidence that all English sources consistently use the Azerbaijani diaresis/umlaut. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:12, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:DIACRITICS, it is the "general usage" in English language sources which applies. Here are some examples: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. In any case, you have also proposed using the "umlaut" so why are you asking me to justify it? Tammbeck (talk) 08:36, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page Renamed

[edit]

The page has been renamed to "Roya (Azerbaijani singer)". I understand that it is necessary to be based on sources and non-English words are allowed. But you must understand that the sources indicated on the article are Azerbaijani and the artist himself acts on the territory of Azerbaijan. Therefore, take advantage of "Röya". But that does not mean right. So if you search Google for the query "Roya singer". Then Google will give you an absurdity. You will see the "Roya Azerbaijani singer" knowledge bar But the albums will not be Azerbaijan albums, but the video may be "Roya - Lie" which does not belong to this artist. The thing is that there are several Roya Persian singer Roya; Swedish Roya; Roya band

Google searches for "Roya" sees several options including ours. But so ours is known on spotify as "Röya". Google refuses to take the correct data. As a result, it shows that we have Roya but she releases Persian albums and represents Sweden. ))) And you are trying not to be searched like Roya. But this does not benefit and confuses the situation even more. The fact is the singer was originally known as Roya, her songs were signed by this name. Changing to "Röya" we created bewilderment both among users and for artificial intelligence. In addition, this is an English Wikipedia for English-speaking users. Logically, everything should be in English. People will not understand this letter "ö" SaHiB.SHaKHaYeV (talk) 19:50, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SaHiB.SHaKHaYeV. Your 16 January move has been undone, since it went against the verdict of the last move discussion (see above). The article name has been changed back to Röya (singer). Arguments such as 'People will not understand the letter "ö" ' are not persuasive here because we *do* use diacritics in people's names if we are convinced that the WP:COMMONNAME in English uses the diacritic. Note that there is still a redirect at Roya (Azerbaijani singer) which points here, so people searching for 'Roya' will be led to the right place. There is also a page at Roya which explains the different people of that name. EdJohnston (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Röya (singer)Röya – Disambiguation is unnecessary since no other person is named "Röya" with the umlaut. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 15:42, 17 January 2020 (UTC) Relisting. ToThAc (talk) 00:34, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Three "Support" but no evidence whatsoever that English sources consistently and uniquely retain the diaresis, and not even a response from those pinged to request evidence. I fear that a non-admin page closer is going to turn up and this is going to go the way of a vote rather than source-based application of titling policies...
