Æon SpokeAeon Spoke – Should always use "Ae" instead. George Ho (talk) 01:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. Why? WP:UE states that Wikipedia generally uses the character æ to represent the Anglo-Saxon ligature. , which is apparently the way they intended it. While, per MOS:TMRULES, we should avoid unnecessary and excess styling, I don't feel it is violated in this case; it only discourages using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, and Æ is not one. Compare Motörhead, whose heavy-metal umlaut is even more spurious than the Æ ligature here. No such user (talk) 13:25, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

And the redirect seems to be working fine. Same with the one to Encyclopædia Britannica.  AjaxSmack  00:49, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
