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)[reply]

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

  • Delete both, 'ae' is not a valid substitution for ä when it comes to Finnish. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 05:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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 Frankly, it's not any more plausible than had the one ä been replaced by a and the other by ae.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)[reply]
In that case I'll just strike my !vote. Probably harmless either way though.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:37, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 23:31, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Eubot) Not sure, couldn't find usage in sources, unsure if plausible, little pageviews. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:13, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
