• I looked through the titles of 861 articles on Azerbaijani football players and none of them uses a schwa. Likewise, there is no use of the schwa at all at List of Azerbaijanis. Is there some guidance for using "ə" in article titles (as opposed to WP:DIACRITICS, which is a different issue)? The proposed title does not seem to be very user-friendly for English-language readers. There seem to be other sites that use the current spelling, although I am not sure if they are better or worse than those given above, e.g. Eurosport. Dekimasuよ! 05:16, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

  BTW in Azeri, the ə is absolutely not a schwa. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 05:30, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

• Hmm, while I am sure the pronunciation is different from the English pronunciation of the schwa character, it is still called a schwa at Azerbaijani alphabet#Schwa (Ə). If it is not a schwa (which at least could be identified by many English speakers), then that makes me even less certain about using it in titles on the English Wikipedia.

  Redirects make the usability problem moot anyhow. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
