Discussion concerning this article

A discussion that may affect the name or title of this article is ongoing here. Please voice any opinions or concerns on that page. After the discussion concludes, this article may be moved to a different title, in accordance with Misplaced Pages's Naming Conventions. Thank you. Tennis expert (talk) 19:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

The name of this article should be changed to "Agnieszka Radwanska" because that is the name used on the English-language websites of the official governing bodies of tennis, the Women's Tennis Association and the International Tennis Federation. That also is the name used on the English-language websites of Fed Cup and the French Open (Roland Garros). Tennis expert (talk) 18:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose. Misplaced Pages aspires to higher fidelity and exactness than a sports data base oriented for public consumption and quite possibly, oblivious to the need to be exact, but rather, expedient. Equally well, you might motivate streamlining the content of Misplaced Pages to include as notable only items mentioned on American sport television, such as ESPN. The funny little symbols under your editing window have been provided for a reason -- please use them. No need to type on the keyboard -- just press and the correct glyph will appear in the article at your cursor. WP guidelines do not advocate impoverishing scholarly rendition of non-English proper knowns, and misguided efforts in that direction will be opposed on their lack of merit. I think it an intellectually discrediting activity, this spawning by boilerplate, quasi-robotically an assault on people's actual names, only by discriminating against them on the basis of having attained notability while playing tennis (surely counter to Jimbo's extensive protection of the integrity of biographies of living persons), which gives the impression, that you will take what you can get, instead of striving to persuade on principle the entire Misplaced Pages community.

I'm trying to understand your arguments; so, please correct my summary of them as you see necessary. (1) American sports television like ESPN should not dictate whether diacritics are used in English Misplaced Pages. (2) The funny little symbols are available below the English Misplaced Pages editing screens and that fact alone supports using diacritics to name tennis biographies in English Misplaced Pages. (3) Not using diacritics to name tennis biographies in English Misplaced Pages would constitute the impoverishment of scholarly activities and would be intellectually discrediting. (4) Not using diacritics is a quasi-robotic assault on people's actual names and is discriminatory against them because of their success as tennis players. Does that about cover it? I noticed you have not provided even one citation to support your arguments; so, everything is purely your opinion. See WP:UGH and appeal to ridicule, among other things.
