Junin grebeJunín grebe – spelling fix Chumzwumz68 (talk) 18:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Chumzwumz68 (talk) 19:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC) The correct name of the lake in question is "Lake Junín", as it is in its native Peruvian Spanish. The common name of the grebe is also spelled in this way. It is a simple spelling fix. Chumzwumz68 (talk) 19:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Fails WP:COMMMONNAME as the current title has about 1.5x the results as the proposed when doing a Google search. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - moving it to the spelling used in the native language where this bird is found seems pretty uncontroversial to me. Iloveparrots (talk) 14:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose IOU doesn't use the acute accent, and neither due most of the other global checklists. AryKun (talk) 08:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Wikipedia birds articles normally use the IOC's standardized names unless there's a nonstandard name the bird is better known by, which I don't think is the case here since we're only talking about a diacritic. The IOC Master List v13.2 ([1]) gives "Junin grebe", without diacritic. It also gives its breeding range as "Lake Junín" so it's not an issue of rendering diacritics in the source.
