Talk:Krasnoturyinsk

Requested move 11 January 2023

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: not moved. Rough consensus is that the proposed title is not the WP:COMMONNAME by a large enough margin to justify overruling the guidance in WP:RUS. (non-admin closure) ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 17:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose, the number of hits is insufficient to determine what COMMONNAME is, and we need top use WP:RUS. The two above users are on a crusade in an editing area they have very little understanding about.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

• 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). It's not as if an English reader will come here an wonder "Valuyki??!! OMG, I've always thought the proper spelling is 'Valuiki'". No such user (talk) 08:30, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
