The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 04:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

We title our articles according to what demonstrated convention of English usage is...could the move requestor, or anyone else, please provide such demonstration? Until then, I oppose this move.Erudy (talk) 02:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there is an overwhelming majority for either spelling (with or without the háček), for example a page containing an English translation of the homily delivered during the beatification drops omits it [1] while the biography linked from it [2] doesn't. However here on Wikipedia the common usage for Czech and Slovak names seems to be to include it (and generaly to use native characters found in languages that use an extended latin alphabet). Thus I suggested the move and think it should be carried out. --Vohon (talk) 14:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
After sifting through some of the evidence, I think this proposal deserves support. Google book results generally produce č citations. In the grand scheme of things, this fellow appears somewhat obscure and discussions of him are generally limited to specialist literature, which is more likely to use č. For now at least, it seems more conventional to use the ornamented spelling.
  • Support Diacritic application seems to be in order. Húsönd 20:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support the correct spelling, with the diacritic. — Kpalion(talk) 20:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
