Name edit
@Hergilei and Clemkr: I think it would be preferable to rename the article to "Maya Khromykh". That "Maiia" thing is certainly a product of the latest crazy trends in romanization rules used for external Russian passports, see "Romanization of Russian#Transliteration of names on Russian passports". (I just want the article to have a title that people can actually read. Lipnitskaya's name is officially written "Julia Lipnitskaia", but her article was renamed nevertheless.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- The string of vowels is certainly confusing/difficult to remember, however, changing a long-established Wiki title can be controversial, especially if the new title is neither an official spelling, nor used much in the media. 'Yulia Liptnitskaya' was fairly popular in the media (maybe not more popular than Julia Lipnitskaia but still quite common). Nevertheless, I much prefer 'Maya' because 'Maiia' is just bizarre.

- She is not famous yet, so there's no established spelling of her name as of now. I think we can safely rename this article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
