Since his name is clearly spelled "Iouri", why is this article at "Yuri"? Google results overwhelmingly favor "Iouri". Unless there is a good reason for it to be here, I am going to move it to the correct name. Relisted.

When Romanized, "I" is generally pronounced as in "Irkutsk", rather than "Yuri". See Romanization of Russian for more, as well as WP:RUS for guidance as to how Wikipedia generally handles such cases. Incidentally, when you listed this at "Requests to revert undiscussed moves", you stated that it "was moved without discussion and no reason was given". This isn't entirely correct, as the editor who moved it cited WP:RUS in his edit-summary. Joefromrandb (talk) 07:50, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

The article was originally at the latter name, which sources overwhelmingly support. The article was moved four years ago with no discussion and no reason given. Tad Lincoln (talk) 06:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC) Tad Lincoln (talk) 06:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Why would you repeat that when I've explained that it's incorrect? It was moved by User:Russavia, who cited WP:RUS as his reason for moving it. Now there may be a case to be made for overriding guidelines in this case–I don't know. But making and then repeating incorrect claims will only serve to imbue your case.

I didn't put that reply there. That was the explanation I gave at "requested moves" page, and it was apparently copied and pasted here. Regardless, the move was not discussed beforehand. As I said before, "Iouri Podladtchikov" is the spelling that is used in the overwhelming majority of sources, including on the FIS website. This is also supported by the nickname "IPod", which appears in a number of sources, and his Twitter account and Facebook pages, which both use this spelling. This may not be the conventional romanization, but it seems pretty clear that this is how the article's subject spells his own name. Tad Lincoln (talk) 08:32, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

• Comment please provide some information (such as official websites or some other authoritative sources) that spell his name "Iouri Podladtchikov" --Երևանցի ^talk 00:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

• Support --Երևանցի ^talk 19:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

• Support, Google News supports Iouri Podladtchikov [1] 1730 to 3 over Yuri Podladchikov [2]. Zarcadia (talk) 22:22, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

• Support. Although the subject was born in Russia, he grew up and competes in Switzerland which uses the Latin alphabet and where he spells his name "Iouri Podladtchikov". WP:RUS should not apply in such cases. The fact that this man's nickname is "iPod" and not "yPod" should be a sort of clue. —  AjaxSmack  02:01, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

• Support. Even if WP:RUS applies, the profile pages cited here warrants WP:IAR. SYSS Mouse (talk) 16:54, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

EDIT: In addition, Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Cyrillic)#Conventional_names overrides normal naming conventions. SYSS Mouse (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

• Comment I see someone has moved the article to "Iouri Podladchikov". Not sure what the point of that was, as it's still the wrong spelling. Tad Lincoln (talk) 00:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Agreed. The spirit of WP:IAR doesn't mean move an article to the wrong spelling in the middle of an RM discussion. —  AjaxSmack  03:11, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
