Binali Yıldırım → Binali Yildirim – Should this be moved to Binali Yildirim, with "i" rather than "ı"? The WP:DIACRITICS guideline allows modified letters, but generally says words should be written the way they are usually represented in English language sources. I think this may be a case where most sources writing in English tend to simply use "i" rather than the Turkish ı. Dragons flight (talk) 06:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Support. This person's name is represented as "Binali Yildirim" in all leading English language sources I have reviewed:

• Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-politics-vote-idUSKCN0YD0IW
• New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/23/world/europe/turkeys-governing-party-elects-binali-yildirim-as-prime-minister.html
• Wall Street Journal: http://www.wsj.com/articles/turkeys-new-prime-minister-signals-intent-with-cabinet-reshuffle-1464091857
• The Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/president-recep-tayyip-erdogan-approves-new-turkish-government-formed-by-ally-binali-yildirim-a7044536.html
• Financial Times: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e71ceeb0-1dac-11e6-a7bc-ee846770ec15.html#axzz49ca2ngpE
• Times of India: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/Binali-Yildirim-set-to-be-Turkeys-new-prime-minister/articleshow/52345379.cms
• The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/new-turkish-pm-binali-yildirim-to-consolidate-power-for-erdogan/news-story/d912eccfc14d323bf3c6754e4ebd5acc
• The Globe and Mail: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/turkish-prime-minister-announces-decision-to-step-down/article29883383/

Changing the canonical surname rendering to "Yildirim" thus seems in line with WP:DIACRITICS, which says "when deciding between versions of a word which differ in the use or non-use of modified letters, follow the general usage in reliable sources that are written in the English language". Of course, "Yıldırım" would be worth having as an alternative rendering in the introduction. Emw (talk) 00:30, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I've converted my initial comment to an requested move. Here are a few additional English language sources using the dotted "i":

• Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/erdogan-ally-set-to-be-appointed-turkeys-new-prime-minister/2016/05/22/20971562-1ff1-11e6-82c2-a7dcb313287d_story.html
• Sydney Morning Herald: http://www.smh.com.au/world/new-turkish-pm-binali-yildirim-backs-more-power-for-president-tayyip-erdogan-20160522-gp1651.html
• BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-36362806
• CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/22/europe/turkey-politics/

Perhaps one of the more interesting is this. TRT World, the English language outlet of the state-owned Turkish Radio and Television Corporation, also used a dotted "i" when writing his name in English: http://www.trtworld.com/turkey/binali-yildirim-becomes-new-chairman-of-governing-ak-party-111043

It seems that most of the English language reporting about Mr. Yildirim / Yıldırım is choosing to use a dotted "i", which per WP:DIACRITICS, implies that Wikipedia probably should as well. Dragons flight (talk) 06:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

• This could be an example of the typists etc not being able to choose but being coerced by not having the ı character available. Most of his activities seem to happen within Turkey. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose This is a case of WP:DIVIDEDUSE, with at least Guardian, Huffington Post, Hürriyet Daily News, International Business Times, Daily Sabah, Yeni Şafak English, Journal of Turkish Weekly using his correct last name "Yıldırım".
  Furthermore, the "ı" in Binali Yıldırım constitutes a distinct letter in Turkish alphabet, just like the "ğ" in Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, or the "ü", "ç" and "ş" in Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, all signifying a considerably different sound. And as these Turkish letters are easily identifiable for a wide audience, unlike rather cryptic Icelandic letters like "Þ" in Steinunn Þóra Árnadóttir, streamlining these to their rough English equivalent is of no use for our readers. The contrary is true: using the correct spelling helps with the pronunciation, even if you don't know a single word of Turkish. While newspapers typists may drop whatever isn't on their PC keyboard, we have the opportunity here to be more precise and more helpful. --PanchoS (talk) 14:07, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
