Talk:Etchmiadzin uezd

Article name

Hello Wikipedians, as you may know, the common, prevailing theme for Russian Imperial province article names in English Wikipedia is their commonly-appearing Anglicisation in English sources. For example, the more common "Ardahan Okrug" is used instead of the transliterated "Ardagan Okrug" or "Ardaganskii Okrug" (there is no "h" in Russian, it usually is replaced by "g" or "kh"), therefore, to determine the article title for the Echmiadzin Uyezd, the most-commonly appearing spelling/Anglicisation in English language sources should be found, which is commonly done on Wikipedia by counting the search results from searching each variation on Google Ngram, Google Scholar, and Google Advanced Book Search, per WP:SET.

From tallying these results, it is evident that "Etchmiadzin Uyezd" with 68 results is the more commonly appearing variant in English sources (compared with "Echmiadzin Uyezd" with 49 fewer results) and thus the easiest for readers to find and piece-together in their understanding of the districts of the Erivan Governorate. In conclusion, it can be inferred from the results that the most commonly-appearing Anglicisation of the district, "Etchmiadzin Uyezd", should be used in the article title, however, due to the significant usage of "Echmiadzin Uyezd", it is worthwhile to make mention the variant spelling in the article. -Nunuxxx (talk) 08:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Your conclusion does not reflect your search results. —Michael Z. 12:59, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I see you were not considering uezd/uyezd. But you have demonstrated that uezd is the most common spelling by 84 to 3. —Michael Z. 14:03, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
