Comment. Whilst I respect that this is how she would render her name, should we not use English considering that a great deal of English-language readers would not understand or recognize what the letter 'ß' is? Zarcadia (talk) 19:55, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning oppose as well. Vast majority of English-language sources I came across after a quick search used "ss". What benefit is there in moving? Even German readers will make complete sense of the current title. Jenks24 (talk) 11:23, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the comments of Tiggerjay and Jenks24. We shouldn't use non-English letters unless there's no English alternative. Here, the immediately recognizable "Gleissner" seems to be more frequently in English sources, and is also used in German.--Cúchullaint/c17:10, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The "ß" is character generally unknown to readers of English, many of whom would have no idea how to pronounce it. We should generally use English characters (plus or minus diacritics as appropriate) for the English Wikipedia so that readers can understand and pronounce what we have written, especially when a significant (or majority) proportion of the reliable independent sources that are written in English use English-language characters. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:14, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
