[edit] Requested move

On WP:RFM there is the following:

• Talk:Victor d'Hondt — Victor d'Hondt → Victor D'Hondt – D'Hondt is a belgian/flemish name, and is written with an uppercase D. The "D'" or "De" is part of the surmane Wdelaet 08:49, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose without more evidence. His d'Hondt method is usually spelt that way in English. And the surname varies in Belgium. See [1] for someone called "d'Hondt" and [2] for someone called "D'hondt". It is not Belgian majority rule which should count here, but what the man called himself. --Henrygb 00:15, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

• Support move. These scientific publications in various languages are nothing compared to this act of a session of the Belgian senate: http://www.senaat.be/wwwcgi/get_pdf?50331933 It's a PDF, French and Dutch, our Victor is on p. 2, 2nd paragraph as "Victor D'Hondt" in both the French and the Dutch text. I suppose the Belgian senate personnel knows how to spell. --Francis Schonken 08:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vote count report, 15 days after start of vote

3 people voted, 2 supporting the move, result:

• 2 voters out of 3 support the move = 67% > 60% => Move to Victor D'Hondt

Trying to help out with backlog at WP:RM, I implement the vote result, and remove WP:RM listing.

Apart from cleaning up double redirects I also add Victor D’Hondt and Victor d’Hondt (other type of accent) as redirects. --Francis Schonken 07:03, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
