Foundation date?

To be transparent, there are different estimations of foundation date of the party. Soviet histiography conceptualizes the formation somewhat differently, whereby both LKP and KP(b)B are considered as founded in 1918, spent 1919-1920 in union as CP(b)L&B, and then resumed independent existence as two parties in September 1920. Other refs talk about July 1918 as foundation (i.e. SDLPL&B as the same party that took the name CPL&B in August 1918), some treat August 14, 1918 as the foundation date, others October 1-3, 1918, etc.. I find the current set-up the better one, i.e. treating the party as one from 1918, with KP(b)B merging in 1919 and having a full-fledged LKP history in separate article from 1920 onwards. --Soman (talk) 12:30, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Name

I had requested (as technical request, not through RM template) the move of this article from Communist Party (bolsheviks) of Lithuania and Belorussia to Communist Party of Lithuania and Belorussia. In (later) Soviet sources the name "CP(b)L&B" is predominately used. But "CPL&B" also appears in many sources, especially in non-Cold War Soviet sources. Looking at the little graphic material available, it doesn't appear that "(b)" would have been that widespread. With the risk of engaging in WP:OR,

On the other hand, the sole contemporary doc using "CP(b)L&B" I've found so far is this image: https://zviazda.by/sites/default/files/29-3_kopiya_7.jpg --Soman (talk) 13:28, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
