Stéphen Pichon → Stephen Pichon – The correct spelling of his name is without the accent - see the French Wikipedia, which cites the website of the French Senate. &mdash;innotata 18:26, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support not spelled with accent in French. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:20, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Apparently, the German, Spanish, Dutch and Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedias took their cues regarding the accent mark from the English Wikipedia, rather than from the French. &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 22:46, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support – I noticed that the avenue named after him has an article on French WP called Avenue Stéphen-Pichon, but I find that people with addresses in the avenue do not add an accent. LynwoodF (talk) 14:04, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. It's unusual in French for the anglicized form "Stephen" to be used at all (the more usual forms in French are Étienne or Stéphane), so we can't just presume that a French "Stephen" has an accent in his name — we have to look at what the sources actually say about whether there's an accent in it or not, and the most definitive sources here say there isn't.
