The result of the move request was: no consensus. No consensus found even after a relist. (closed by non-admin page mover) – Material  Works  15:14, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Richard Saunders (skeptic) → Richard Saunders (sceptic) – I believe "sceptic" (and "sceptical") is the Australian spelling, and so this should be moved. I know Australian Skeptics exists, so I am somewhat wary of this move: however this is a common name, as with the Australian Labor Party (despite the fact that "labour" is standard Australian English).

However, I wanted to get community consensus that "sceptic" is an accurate descriptor of this person (as opposed to Richard Saunders (podcaster), for example) as this is not my area of expertise. I also may be getting some nuances of Australian English wrong (being a Brit), so just wanted to double-check with the community first. – GnocchiFan (talk) 21:05, 9 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Sources use both versions. So why not just create a redirect from Richard Saunders (sceptic) - this would allow the reader to find it no matter which spelling they use, and is hardly likely to ever clash.--Gronk Oz (talk) 07:06, 10 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. "Sceptic" seems to be the norm outside North America. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose - According to his wiki page, Saunders is a member of Australian Skeptics (with a "k"); his website is "The Skeptic Zone" https://skepticzone.tv/ (both with a "k"); and "he initiated The Skeptic Tank radio show" (also with a "k"). If you look at Australian Skeptics, you'll find the sceptic spelling 5 times, but the skeptic spelling 456 times. That, to me, is a very strong indication that the field of "scientific skepticism" in Australia uses the "k" style, not the "c". And then I did a little searching and found that the "field of scientific skepticism" tends to use the "k" even in Britain. So there you have it. Grorp (talk) 01:28, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
