Mátyás Sáfran → Mátyás Sáfrán – His name is correctly Mátyás Sáfrán according both to the olympic database and the Hungarian Canoe Federation, which is probably the most authentic source in this case. Thehoboclown (talk) 11:03, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Move to Matyas Safran as diacritics are rare in English and this is the English Wikipedia, not the Hungarian one. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  05:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * They're far from rare in encyclopedias. Common English usage should not be confused with proper English. Prolog (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. The present form is a weird hybrid. Hungarian "á" is quite a distinct letter from "a"; the diacritic does not simply show the stress (and every Hungarian word is stressed on the first syllable). Any move to "Matyas Safran" is then a separate matter (and I would oppose it, by the way). N oetica Tea? 06:55, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Yes, it's the English wikipedia, not the Simple English wikipedia. HandsomeFella (talk) 18:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, rename per nom to correct the surname. - Darwinek (talk) 10:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
