Æon Spoke Aeon Spoke – Should always use "Ae" instead. George Ho ( talk) 01:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose. Why? WP:UE states that Wikipedia generally uses the character æ to represent the Anglo-Saxon ligature. , which is apparently the way they intended it. While, per MOS:TMRULES, we should avoid unnecessary and excess styling, I don't feel it is violated in this case; it only discourages using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, and Æ is not one. Compare Motörhead, whose heavy-metal umlaut is even more spurious than the Æ ligature here. No such user ( talk) 13:25, 13 May 2014 (UTC) reply
It's easier to type, obviously. -- George Ho ( talk) 23:14, 17 May 2014 (UTC) reply
