Contesting, some English references list the footballers name without diacritics.--

I'd note that the footballer gets 12,418 views compared to 88 for the sports writer [
[1]]. Normally I support
WP:SMALLDETAILS but given the harder to type one gets more views I think this would inconvenience too many readers especially given as noted some sources (all that I can see) don't use diacritics for the footballer as can be seen from a simple Google search. However we could disambiguate the base name without diacritics which I support.Crouch, Swale (

Oppose. Per the statistics cited by Crouch, Swale, the other one seems dominant, and this is the English Wikipedia. English doesn't ordinarily have diacritics. Many people who read and write in English can't even figure out how to type them, and generating them can be difficult even for those who can figure it out. —

BarrelProof: Page views isn't what matters. What matters is a correctly disambiguated title. Of course, in English sources, they are going to latinize the names and not use diacritics in order for the average reader to better understand and comprehend how to pronounce the person's name and also because the English language doesn't traditionally use diacritics. I still feel that "George Puscas" is the correct title for the sports writer and that "George Pușcaș" is the correct title for the footballer per
WP:SMALLDETAILS as Mr. Crouch mentioned.

"George Pușcaș" may be the correct title for the footballer but the problem is that he is commonly written as just "George Puscas" and he gets more views therefore the footballer is ambiguous with "George Puscas" to and must be subject to
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. SMALLDETAILS is used when a topic is the only (or primary) usage of that exact term but is very similar to another topic. In this case there is no evidence the sports writer is primary for "George Puscas". Crouch, Swale (

Oppose per the above but still weakly support disambigating the base name of "George Puscas". Crouch, Swale (

Silly me I had only thought that the numbers were a factor of over 10x but 12,418 views compared to 88 is actually over 141x! so we could inconvenience around 99% of readers only to benefit 1! Given the sources that don't use diacritics and the difficulty with them anyway I think we should leave it as is. The footballer is likely to be overwhelmingly the most likely target for even the title without diacritics so we probably shouldn't even convert "George Puscas" to a DAB. There may be recentism with regards to the footballer but views of over 4 years show 404,720 v 2,136 which is over 189x [
