Akaganéite → Akaganeite – The name with diacritic is common but incorrect. See talk page Jorge Stolfi (talk) 00:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 06:36, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Jorge Stolfi and Dicklyon: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:43, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• The referenced talk page has no info in support of the assertion that the diacritic is incorrect. Dicklyon (talk) 04:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• The acute accent is likely to tell people to pronounce it as 5 syllables: A-ka-ga-né-ite. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:45, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• The International Mineralogical Association's list of minerals [1] lists it as Akaganeite without any accent. According to their list, the IMA is "the organization in charge for approval of new minerals, and more in general for all issues related to the status of mineral species. The list, which will be updated on a regular basis, is intended as the primary and official source on minerals." The list does include various diacritic marks for the spelling of other minerals.

• Reinforcing GeoWriter's comment: the linked reference [4] to Burke 2008 is authoritative and explicitly says that the version with accent is incorrect. Unfortunately that article on the Mineralogical Record does not seem to have a DOI; I have now provided an HTTP link to a copy of the PDF. Since the name comes from the Japanese "Akagane", which does not have a diacritic in the usual Romanizations, the mineral name should not have one either. The mistake apparently originated with Mackay, who published the discovery in 1962 -- based on "oral communication" by the discoverer, who only published the full description in 1968. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 16:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
