Support per quality English sources, the same as all other Portugal/Brazil articles (why was the technical move contested?), User:Red Slash you linked to the wrong part of the WP:AT guideline. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:45, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Funnily enough, a quick, rough Google Books search shows roughly three times as many English-language books (found by using "they" as a controller) contain "mestico" as "mestiço". I await your analysis. Red Slash22:09, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
If you'll allow me. Quite simply, Google can't see diacritics. I clicked on your Google Books link for "mestico" and then clicked on the books returned in the results. In the text of those books I got mestiço in the first,[1] second,[2] third (as mestiçõ — go figure),[3] and fourth[4] ones. I couldn't read the fifth one and finally got "mestico" in sixth result.[5] Back to mestiço in the seventh,[6] and eighth,[7] then "mestico" in the ninth[8] and tenth.[9] — AjaxSmack02:00, 19 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Comment: mestizo is not quite the same and it is usually related to Hispanic topics. Mestiço is related to lusophone countries. A similar situation happens with "Métis" (with the proper French diacritic). Dantadd (talk) 20:55, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
