Lärabar → Larabar – Everything in WP:CAMELCASE seems to say that the umlaut above the A should be ignored, despite the branding. Trebuchette (talk) 06:14, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). -- /Alex/21 13:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Trebuchette: The only mention of diacritics at MOS:TM says not to correct trademarks by adding them (e.g. Uber→Über). Plenty of reliable sources use the Lärabar spelling. --Ahecht (TALK

- Comment – The company does claim that the umlaut is just a decorative stylization. We do respect the decorative metal umlauts in Mötley Crüe and Motörhead, but few newspapers seem to use it for the Larabar. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:48, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- These indeed look like highly relevant examples. I checked their talk pages, and it doesn't look either title has ever been challenged in an RM. I'm actually a little dubious that either would stand up to scrutiny, since it seems like the umlauts aren't used in a clear majority of RS. Colin M (talk) 21:39, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Häagen-Dazs is similar and the article has an umlaut in the title. Peter James (talk) 18:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
