Requested move 3 August 2023
edit- 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: no consensus. Participants were divided on which title was most often used in English-language sources. With few participants (even after a relist) and little evidence directly linked, I don't see a consensus as having emerged in either direction.

Hervor → Hervör – Hervör is a more accurate spelling of the name and it has been decided as of a long time back that the "hook o" shouldn't be used in page titles due to rendering difficulties. This o is the stnad in precedent and moving it to this spelling would be consistent with other related pages such as Jötunn, Bölþorn and Völsung. The lead name in bold is already Hervör and the page should really be this. Ingwina (talk) 07:12, 3 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 20:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:USEENGLISH, as it seems Hervor without the accent is more common in English language sources. The point about the first sentence spelling it differently is unconvincing as it's common for a "proper" form to appear in the lead while the common name is used for the title. MOS:FIRST:
When the page title is used as the subject of the first sentence, it may appear in a slightly different form
. WPscatter t/c 16:18, 3 August 2023 (UTC)- Just in regards to the common form, I will say that of the English translations given in the page for the saga more widely, two of three (Tolkien and Kershaw) spell the name "Hervör" rather than "Hervor". Ingwina (talk) 08:45, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
