Request move
This template must be substituted. Replace {{Requested move ...}} with {{subst:Requested move ...}}. Request move because most other alphabets use the alphabet itself as the name of the article. G-caron can be considered as a variant of G, --Hello World! 14:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Discussion
The assertion in the proposed move is false; only the twenty-six letters of the Latin Alphabet for English are named using the familiar letters. For other characters there is no consistent usage, but most of them use a title which is written out. We shouldn't have articles at "Ǧ", "Þ", "Ж", "Ѩ", "한", or "₴"—how on Earth would an average reader know that their titles are "G-caron", "Thorn", "Zhe", "Little Yus iotified", "Han", and "Hryvnia"? Simply put, titles should be readable. —Michael Z. 2006-01-23 15:25 Z
