The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Rough consensus that Timashevsk is the WP:COMMONNAME by a sufficiently large margin to override the guidance in WP:RUS. (non-admin closure) ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 17:08, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support per link submitted within the nomination. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:37, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, the number of hits is insufficient to determine what COMMONNAME is, and we need top use WP:RUS. The two above user are on a crusade in an editing area they have very little understanding about.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:35, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose any renaming of obscure Russian-language terms contrary to WP:RUS based on alleged English COMMONNAME. I might support changing the default transliteration of ⟨ё⟩ to e rather than yo (despite the latter being more phonetically correct), but going piecewise like this is futile (and borders on disruption).

On retrospect, I'm going to support this one. Transliteration ⟨ё⟩ to ⟨e⟩ is near-universal, and disparity in search results is overwhelming. Besides, transliteration "Timashyovsk" is just as misleading – it's pronounced "Timashovsk" (which yields a few results). If moved, we should include Timashyovsky District → Timashevsky District as well. No such user (talk) 08:59, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
