The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved.WP:NATURALDIS was brought up in the sole oppose !vote based on the "é" with an accent. However, it was pointed out that the usage of the accent is not consistent in English-language sources, and there appears to be a consensus that the accent is not a sufficient disambiguator. (

Regina, French Guiana – English-language sources do not consistently use this accent. Insufficient disambiguation. Note that this would also affect
Category:Régina and related articles.

Support. There are many other
Regina, including
Regina, Saskatchewan, which are much more notable. The acute accent is not sufficiently different (the Saskatchewan Regina also carries an acute accent in French Canadian spelling).

Oppose. This is perfectly good
WP:NATURALDIS (since the Canadian city is never spelled with a diacritic, at least in English), and when I Google this term it seems to come up largely with results for the Guiana city. —

It would be natural disambiguation if a majority of English-language sources used the "é", but I'm finding that this is not the case.

Support. To judge from some quick searches it looks like the accent is not consistently applied in English RS. The accent by itself doesn't seem to be a sufficient or reliable disambiguator.
