Requested move 2 October 2021

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 as proposed; also redirecting "Sergio Mendes (album)" and "Sérgio Mendes (album)" to Sérgio Mendes discography as they can be easily confused. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 01:51, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

– Neither the album cover nor the article's sources use an accented é. With or without an accent, the title needs disambiguating from the 1975 album of the same title. — AjaxSmack 03:24, 2 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:18, 2 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support 2nd, at the very least you can't rely on diacritics to disambiguate since most people won't be aware of them (especially since the album's picture doesn't appear to show them) but anyone using them will be looking for something with them in per WP:SMALLDETAILS. The 1983 album gets more views 826 than the 1975 one (258)[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:12, 2 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support but preferably with the correct full name spelling maintained on both albums Okay the albums came out 50 years ago when noone in the English speaking world bothered with accents (and xenophobic reaction to foreigness was higher than now) but otherwise what possible benefit is there from an optical decision to give him an Anglo name. Name both albums with his full spelling. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:37, 2 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
- As far as I can tell, no accent has ever been used on the cover or label of any release of either album in any country (including accent-loving France, Spain, Argentina, Portugal and even his own native Brazil -- the 1975 album had the "Anglo" title of I Believe in Brazil). This could be explained by this line in his Wikipedia biography: "Mendes is a unique example of a Brazilian musician primarily known in the United States, where his albums were recorded and where most of his touring took place." For Wikipedia to add an accent to these album titles is incorrect OR. — AjaxSmack 04:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support per nomination, per WP:CONSISTENT and per further explanation by AjaxSmack as to why the main title headers for both albums should not accent Mendes' name, thus remaining faithful to the form in which the name is depicted on the albums. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:01, 5 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support, especially the 1983 version which should be returned whence it came; by checking the page history it was moved to the proposed title and the current one. The mark above the e, as the user who nominated says, is not seen on the album cover of the 1983 version. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 17:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
