Goran TošićGoran Tosic — per the article's own sources at ATP plus ITF and other official tennis websites, this should be moved to the common English sourced name of Goran Tosic. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - per the stated reasons. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - sources mentioned may be authorities on statistics, results, rankings, etc, but they're not authorities on spelling. No established usage is what goes. HandsomeFella (talk) 10:54, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support No diacritics in this name as it is given by The Times of India. Kauffner (talk) 13:49, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Reliable sources indicate that the name isn't usually spelled with diacritics. Absconded Northerner (talk) 15:44, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose misspelling per our standard practice, the house styles of other encyclopedias and the recommendations (or requirements) of English style guides (including Chicago, AMA and APA): Foreign words and names (especially those of living people) must be spelled correctly with the appropriate diacritical marks. Prolog (talk) 19:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose There doesn't seem to be a established usage or other compelling reason to move. Some en sources use the squigglies, eg here. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 22:47, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Erik. Not internationally well-known person; one of two source in the article uses diacritics. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 09:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    LOL... that one source that uses diacritics is not even in English. Absolutely Useless. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:56, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per ErikHaugen. No reason to move unless the misspelling is overwhelmingly more commonly used in English-language sources. That does not seem to be the case here. Jafeluv (talk) 09:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
