Gomez → Gómez – Almost all of the people listed here with this surname have the accent on the o, and the surname is Spanish in nature. Even the lead use of the name includes it. While the U.S. spelling is different, the most common spelling is with the accent, and this article should reflect that.  Corvoe  (speak to me)  14:57, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - very odd at present and contrary to normal WP Anthroponymy article practice. User:Corvoe thank you for spotting this. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:11, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose with a mix of names, the simpler form should be preferred for the title of the disambiguation page, the accentless one. As it is noted that usage in an English speaking locality, thus having an English-language form does not have an accent, using English on English Wikipedia would seem to indicate that this should not use an accent. As few English speaking localities have large number of Spanish-speaking populations, we should examine the usage in those territories (ie. USA, Philippines) -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:12, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually 65.94.171.126 this isn't the dab page, the dab page is at Gomez (disambiguation), and is quite reasonably, at the simpler spelling. "Surname Gómez" in anthroponymy books would, one imagines, have the accent. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected; surname looks very similar to hndis. Still, I think we should examine the spellings found in English language jurisdictions with significant populations of Hispanophones and Spanish-derived populations. Thus, what spelling is used in the U.S.A. and the Philippines? That would be the English-version of the name. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 08:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
