Please delete as original scientific name was Ramphastos Toco (yes, sp. name capitalized originally), and reversal of sp. and genus names is highly unlikely Loopy30 (talk) 02:16, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

(Eubot) Finnish, not Germanic. Not a plausible search term. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 01:47, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

(Eubot) Finnish, not Germanic. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This is Swedish, not Finnish, and Swedish ö->oe/ä->ae redirects have been leaning keep lately; but a redirect that combines Ö->O with ä->ae is very implausible, and the total lack of pageviews (3 views in 2016, 1 view in the last 9 months) bears that out. Sideways713 (talk) 00:56, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Both Ö→O and ä→ae are plausible, but not in the same redirect. Delete per Sideways713. Thryduulf (talk) 23:33, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. If both diacritic-less versions are individually plausible, I don't see why one with both is not. Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:15, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: because it mixes two different, separate transliteration forms. Replacing ö, ä, etc. with plain-vowels (ö->o; ä->a) is a viable transliteration/substitution scheme. Replacing ö, ä, etc. with vowel+e (ö->oe; ä->ae) is a viable transliteration/substitution scheme. Simultaneously replacing some of them with plain vowels and some of them with ae/oe/etc. is not. To draw an analogy: wearing high heels is fine. So is wearing sneakers. Wearing a high heel on one foot and a sneaker on the other, though... AddWittyNameHere (talk) 07:20, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Is ä->ae more commonly encountered than ö->oe? If that's the case, it's plausible that one could know that one of them is transliterated with an e, but not for the other, and resort to just dropping the diacritic. Patar knight - chat/contributions 17:10, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No. From what I can tell, much the same goes as for German: either someone is familiar with it or they're not. Being familiar with it doesn't necessarily indicate using it, but half-way using it within the same text--much less half-way using it within a single word--really isn't plausible outside of (botched) machine/bot-jobs. Frankly, it's not any more plausible than had the one ä been replaced by a and the other by ae. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case I'll just strike my !vote. Probably harmless either way though. Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:37, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

(Eubot) Not sure, couldn't find usage in sources, unsure if plausible, little pageviews. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:13, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as a perfectly reasonable R to ASCII. Not everyone searching for Faroese mountains can be expected to be using a Faroese keyboard layout, and even if they generally do, there's no reason to expect they'd be using it while searching on the English wikipedia. – Uanfala (talk) 12:21, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Uanfala. It took me three attempts to work out how to input the ð character and I'm above average in my knowledge of how to do this sort of thing. Thryduulf (talk) 23:35, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
