Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was Move. While the umlaut is acceptable, the fact that many of included entries don't use it indicates that the simplest common form should be used per WP:DABNAME.Cúchullain t/c 12:43, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doppelgänger (disambiguation)Doppelganger (disambiguation) – In Wikipedia common titles are used, see Wikipedia:Article_titles#Common_names. In English, it is common to drop the umlaut, writing doppelganger. Fluffystar (talk) 13:03, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Useage

The term "doppelganger" is also applied to a false person(s) created by one party involved in internet discussion. That party is secretly creating the postings of the doppelganger to substantiate and support his own position in the discussion, thus appearing as though some other, third person, was substantially agreeing with the party.

This is very common useage of the term and deserves mention in the disambiguation. 99.2.69.235 (talk) 16:41, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
