Nikola Cacic → Nikola Čačić – There was no consensus regarding the use of diacritics, so this article should use the diacritics until a consensus is reached. See also: Talk:Mate Pavić.

 * Strong Oppose - As per the ATP and ITF tennis organizations, the player's English sourced name is Nikola Cacic. See also Talk:Marek Zidlicky and Talk:Galina Fokina. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:33, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The BBC gives this name without a diacritic. Kauffner (talk) 12:04, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose There is no discussion on diacritics on this talk page, so nominator's rationale is superfluous, so this move is missing a rationale. 65.94.77.11 (talk) 06:10, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose: The proposed page move is contrary to the established Wiki-policies of WP:UE, WP:COMMONNAME, and WP:RS. Dolovis (talk) 03:35, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved to Nikola Čačić. Favonian (talk) 15:50, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Nikola Cacic → Nikola Čačić – per Naming conventions (Serbian), en.wikipedia uses Serbian spelling in all subcats of Category:Serbian people including people whose names may appear on sports websites unable to carry Serbian accents and carons. In this case family surname Čačić is pronounced [tʃâtʃitɕ], not [tsâtsits], as would be the case without accents. MOS "consistent with related articles" Radimir Čačić, politician, Ante Čačić, football manager, Frane Čačić footballer. Also consistent with the spelling of several academics and scientists shown as Čačić in English sources on Google Scholar. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support, for consistency and accurate pronunciation information. Since Wikipedia aims to be a reliable scholarly source, it should indicate correct diacritics even if less careful sources omit them. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose - per tenniproject, English sources, ITF, and for people with minor vision impairment this tennis player's foreign spelling is pretty hard to read if that's all that we see in the article. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:18, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is the first time I've heard the vision-impairment argument made. I have trouble giving it credence, because if it were so, we would hear of accessibility tools for vision-impaired users in countries like France or Spain stripping diacritics from letters even for native speakers of those languages, for improved legibility.  If you truly think this is an issue, you could lobby for a "My preferences" option to enable any individual vision-impaired user to view Wikipedia pages with all diacritics from all letters removed.  With a confirmed need, it might be implemented as a priority even if the target user community is small. No reason for this to be the default, however. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 05:52, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a point from those around me (many seniors). One diacritic isn't exactly an eyebasher, but with a foreign name like Čačić it gets pretty hard to read if it's spelled that way over and over in a paragraph. It is for me and I'm not a senior. And not everyone has the latest and greatest monitor. Many use older versions that aren't as sharp. It's just one facet of why I oppose, not the only or main reason. I just wanted it mentioned. But certainly if a paragraph is awash with many foreign letters it is tougher to read even with my non-senior eyes. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:07, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Remediation for vision impairment issues is usually done on the basis of individual customization settings, rather than universally. For example, persons with vision impairment might set their font size to be extremely large, or color scheme to amber-text-on-black-blackground, but that is not imposed as a default on every visitor to a website.  So while this might be grounds for asking developers to have a diacritic-suppression checkbox in "My Preferences", it's not grounds for using reduced forms in the article itself or in its title.  And the developers would probably ask for some documentation of the problem (as mentioned earlier, there seems to be little evidence anywhere else of operating-system accessibility tools that strip diacritics). — P.T.

Subject's surname
Hello: I have confirmed with Dušan Lajović, the subject's close friend on the ATP tour, that his last name is spelled "Ćaćić." Though I made the change in the article's text, I was unable to correct it in the title or external links. See also: Borna Ćorić, whose surname has a similar, less common spelling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.164.58.91 (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
