Ña (Indic) → Ña – Per WP:OVERPRECISION. I'm wondering why they didn't move it yet. 143.179.74.165 (talk) 11:31, 2 January 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 11:54, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support unless there are other uses that use this particular diacritic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any other uses for plain Ña than this. Even if there are, they probably don't deserve an article on Wikipedia. 143.179.74.165 (talk) 09:42, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per WP:Naming conventions (writing systems)#Glyphs and other elements. Wikiproject naming conventions are explicitly called out as exceptions at WP:OVERPRECISION, and this renaming would break the consistent naming of articles on the interrelated glyphs in Brahmic scripts.

Oppose per VanIsaac. The standalone Ña, which is currently a redlink, as seen in the nomination, should redirect to either Ña (Indic) or to the Na disambiguation page, but Ña (Indic) should retain the parenthetical qualifier, analogous to Na (Indic), which currently has no hatnote, but needs one that points to Ña (Indic). It may be also noted that this entry was created in November 2015 as Nya (Indic), but was unilaterally moved in March 2018 to its current header, Ña (Indic). If a nomination were to be submitted for restoring the original Nya (Indic) header, I would support such a proposal. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:59, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the move from Nya regularized the set of Category:Indic letters to names based on IAST romanization, which is the ISO recognized transliteration standard for Indic scripts. Cf. Ṅa (Indic) being moved from Nga (Indic) at the same time. Van Isaac, GHTV^contr_about 05:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Disambiguation without a base title. No opinion on reverting to Nya (Indic). –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
