Request for Name Change: from Tânia Tomé to Tania Tome - Accents Impacting Search Algorithms and Recognition

Dear fellow editors, I am writing to propose a name change for the Wikipedia page of Tania Tome. My concern is regarding the presence of accents in the current name and how it might negatively impact search algorithms and recognition within the platform. Accented characters, such as the "á" in "Tania," can pose challenges for search algorithms and automatic recognition systems, particularly when the queries are made in English or by individuals not familiar with accented characters. This could potentially hinder the discoverability and accessibility of the page. By removing the accents from "Tania Tome," we can align the name with conventional English spelling, making it easier for search algorithms and recognition systems to process and index the name accurately. This adjustment would likely enhance the visibility and reach of the article, benefiting both readers and researchers who might be seeking information about Tania Tome. I understand the importance of preserving the authenticity and integrity of names, especially in relation to their original language. However, given the multilingual nature of Wikipedia and the global audience it serves, ensuring optimal searchability and recognition across languages becomes crucial. I invite fellow editors to join this discussion and share their insights and perspectives. Let us work together to find a balanced solution that respects the name's linguistic origins while addressing the potential challenges with search algorithms and recognition. Thank you for your attention and I look forward to engaging in a constructive dialogue on this matter. Sincerely, TheInformer2030 (talk) 12:09, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure there is an issue here, as putting "Tania Tome" into the search bar on Wikipedia leads to this article. Names of articles are covered in the manual of style, where it says "the name that is most commonly used". The sources mostly appear to use the accented version. I have just edited the article to remove some of the more spammy content. I think there is more to do as some of the recently-added sources may not be reliable.

I saw that you do articles.... we aprecciate your support. I see that you work with Europe, please start working with Africa, we need you. Many Thanks.

 * I have found and will add this source. I cannot locate any other reliable sources. Tacyarg (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added that reference and re-worked the text of the article where that is supported by the ref., do you have a connexion to the subject of the article? You have uploaded a picture of Tomé which is also on the Lionesses reference in the article. Tacyarg (talk) 23:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have seen your last edits, which read promotional and are unsourced or poorly sourced. Again, do you have a connexion to the person who is the subject of the article? Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 14:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Regarding the spelling: Agreed on the automatic direction. I don't see the need to create a redirect at the spelling without diacritics. —C.Fred (talk) 11:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * es, CFred, thanks for your information. Can you help us achieve automatic redirection? Is it possible to fulfill this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/taniatome with the same information as the current Tânia Tomé link? As you can see, the current link contains characters due to the accents, which causes recognition issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A2nia_Tom%C3%A9. As I see, we dont need to change the names, only add that same information for this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/taniatome  right...., please advise. Thanks for your help.

Middle name
Do we have a reliable source for her middle name? —C.Fred (talk) 11:46, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Photograph
I have removed the photograph. It was uploaded as "own work" in 2018, but is the same as a picture in the Lionesses reference. I raised this last year - see above - with no response from the uploader. Tacyarg (talk) 23:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
