Rudolf Macúch → Rudolf Macuch – The accent (ú) in Macuch has never been used in English and German context. Huancayino (talk) 20:22, 24 October 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Flooded  with them hundreds  11:05, 5 November 2018 (UTC)  --Relisting.   SITH   (talk)   12:18, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose he was Slovakian until he lost his citizenship effectively by force in 1953. No particular advantages to those interested in linguists to strip the name down to standard German fonts. Daniel Boyarin The Talmud - A Personal Take: Selected Essays - 2018 "Joseph Malone, in a review of Macúch's book has already demonstrated that both forms are to be explained by assimilation (Joseph L. Malone, “Review of Handbook of Classical and Modern Mandaic by Rudolf Macúch,” Language 45 [1969]: ..." That's two academic references contradicted the "never" in the nom on the first cursory search.

 * Oppose per User:In ictu oculi.--Darwinek (talk) 15:18, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. While there might be some English sources that use the accent, the vast majority do not. I think we should follow usage in the majority of English reliable sources. I don't see why use of accents should be exempted from this important underlying principle. --В²C ☎ 22:42, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination and В²C. In the German- and English-speaking worlds, Macuch's name appeared unaccented on book covers. Similar to Zbigniew Brzeziński whose name, in the English-speaking world, was indicated without the diacritic.   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:51, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact that it's been relisted again shows it doesn't have consensus. Best to close as no consensus. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:08, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
