Requested move 30 October 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to Felipe Garcia (no accent). This is a case where two parts of WP:DABNAME point in opposite directions, and editors have simply made a judgment call as to which factor deserves more weight in this case.

There are eleven bulleted entries listed upon the Felipe Garcia (disambiguation) page, seven of which are accented and four are not. I am under the impression that disambiguation page main title headers in English Wikipedia use accents and / or diacritics only if all dab page entries on any specific dab page use the same accents and / or diacritics. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 03:23, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Felipe Garcia or Felipe García

[edit]

Please indicate whether you think that the page should be moved to Felipe Garcia (without the diacritics) or to Felipe García (with the diacritics) below. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 03:38, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dr. Vogel, while the guideline does provide general guidance, it cannot function as "one-guideline-fits-all". When there are contrasting points of view, it is up to WP:LOCALCONSENSUS to resolve the matter unless there are clear precedents to cite. Voters at the recent Talk:Benjamin Davis#Requested move 24 September 2022 agreed that although more men listed upon the Benjamin Davis disambiguation page are named "Ben" than are named "Benjamin", the dab page's main title header should nevertheless indicate "Benjamin".
There was likewise agreement at Talk:Alexis Diaz#Requested move 4 October 2022, that although the majority of the names were accented (Díaz), the one unaccented name (Diaz) would indicated that the main header should be unaccented.
In the case at hand, since English language does not use accents or diacritics, disambiguation page main title headers lean towards no-accents/diacritics, with the accented header redirecting to the unaccented header, rather than the unaccented header redirecting to the accented one, unless every dab page entry is accented.
There are four unaccented entries and seven accented entries on this dab page, but even if only one entry was unaccented, the dab page header would need to be unaccented, thus giving priority to the direct Felipe Garcia unaccented link, rather than to the Felipe Garcia redirect to the accented Felipe García. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 19:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
