Mesud Barzani → Mesûd Barzanî – The correct spelling of his name in Kurdish is with the diacritics. I believe that not using them would essentially be misspelling his name. —Khoi khoi 05:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. The article should be at Massoud Barzani. - AjaxSmack 07:24, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Oppose I agree with AjaxSmack- it should be at Massoud Barzani. This is in line with the policy WP:NAME which says article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize I think this spelling is most commonly used by English-speakers, regardless of the Kurdish spelling. Just have a look at [2] at all the redirects if you want evidence! AndrewRT - Talk 22:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ok...should I change it? —Khoi khoi 22:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Oppose The usual spelling in English is Massoud Barzani. In Kurdish alphabet e is pronounced as a in cat, a likely source of confusion for English speakers, therefore it is better to stick with the English spelling.Heja Helweda 00:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
