Requested move 4 January 2024

Latest comment: 11 months ago12 comments8 people in discussion

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. Consensus that the actress' WP:COMMONNAME in English-language sources omits the diacritics, and thus that the diacritics should be omitted here under WP:NCUE.

Kiều Chinh → Kieu Chinh – This actress's name in English documents, media, and films is Kieu Chinh (no diacritics). Removing the diacritics will comply with Wikipedia's naming regulations.

Oppose all Vietnam articles, and indeed all Roman alphabet articles on en.wp are spelled with full fonts. So not sure that the nom understands this. Given that her most recent film Đoạt Hồn was a Vietnamese language film, there doesn't seem to any case to remove the accents. Are they offending anywone? Has anyone asked for this?

BTW I did a GBook search and guess what. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose what naming regulations? WP:DIACRITICS doesn't support this—blindlynx 23:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support. Her own website [1], all of her screen credits, the English-language citations, and even some of the Vietnamese citations, list her as Kieu Chinh. Softlavender (talk) 04:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

And what about this and guess what. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:55, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per WP:COMMONNAME. The vast majority of English-language sources use the spelling "Kieu Chinh". (In contrast, the spelling "Kiều Chinh" appears mostly in Vietnamese-language sources. And the fact that her own (English-language) website [2] uses "Kieu Chinh" makes this a 'no brainer'. PatricKiwi (talk) 04:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support per WP:ENGLISH and WP:UE. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 04:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
