Aminé (rapper) → Aminé – There is no reason that there should be brackets if his name is just Aminé. JustDoItFettyg (talk) 21:55, 22 October 2016 (UTC)--Relisting. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 10:28, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose the accent isn't used in http://www.wweek.com/music/2016/07/20/portlands-song-of-the-summer-is-amines-caroline/ and will confuse with the more notable Amine (singer) which should now be at (French singer). In ictu oculi (talk) 07:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support the accent is used in http://hypetrak.com/2016/06/amine-caroline/ and in his music video for his single "Caroline" (Google it), and is already more notable than Amine (singer) in today's pop culture. Xboxmanwar (talk) 20:57, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. Letters with accents or diacritics are not part of the English language and any words/names which contain such symbols must be accompanied by redirects in English-language form. Although such entries exist in some scattered instances, an accent or diacritic alone is insufficient in English Wikipedia to disambiguate a word from other words which use the same form without an accent or diacritic. This is particularly evident in this case, as evidenced by the number of entries within the lengthy dab page, Amine (disambiguation) —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:02, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Roman Spinner: The letter with the accent works with Beyoncé, so it can work on here too. Xboxmanwar (talk) 22:29, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Xboxmanwar: The Beyoncé comparison is not analogous to this nomination. If Beyoncé was the WP:PRIMARY TOPIC of a Beyonce (disambiguation) page or if Beyoncé was one of the entries upon a disambiguation page which had, as its main title header, the name "Beyonce", then it could serve as a comparison. However, Beyoncé is a unique name with Beyonce redirecting to Beyoncé.
- Furthermore, since there is no letter "é" in the English language, Aminé must be considered no different than Amine for disambiguation purposes, and anyone typing the rapper's name (without the parenthetical qualifier) on a standard limited English-language keyboard will be sent to the organic chemistry functional group where, upon clicking Amine (disambiguation), he or she will see numerous entries, most of which are names and, under section header "Persons", sub-section header "Mononym", the names Aminé (rapper) and Amine (singer) will be visible. Although the proposed nomination is insupportable, anyone with an applicable foreign keyboard or a keyboard with control/option commands, should nave no difficulty in accessing the Aminé (rapper) article because the redirect Aminé points directly to Aminé (rapper). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 06:20, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

- Support per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Accented Aminé already redirects here, apparently without incident, and a base name should never redirect to a disambiguated title. I don't see any other articles that uses the accent here, so there's little risk that any reader would type in or click on Aminé looking for some other uses. And for those that are, the hat note is sufficient.--Cúchullain t/c 15:39, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
