The result of the move request was: no consensus. No consensus; while there has been minimal participation, this discussion has been relisted twice and it is unlikely further relists will generate a consensus. (non-admin closure) BilledMammal (talk) 03:56, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Biblioteka Dlya Chteniya → Biblioteka dlia chteniia – WP:COMMONNAME. A comparative Google Ngram Chart[1] shows this is the most common of three spellings tested, comprising 80% to 90% of usage in recent decades.[2] Separate charts show that the lowercased form is most common in all spellings[3][4][5] of this romanized Russian-language title.  —Michael Z. 21:16, 26 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Sceptre (talk) 09:38, 10 February 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 14:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The total number of usages is too low to determine COMMONNAME, and we have to default to WP:RUS. Ymblanter (talk) 08:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have shown evidence that the proposal “is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources),” and it is the “single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources” as the policy asks.

Who says what is not enough? Please show your evidence.

Or am I just a person lacking “understanding” so you need to disrupt the “crusade” I’ve joined?[6][7][8] This will all be so much easier when you come over to the dark side and join the Ukrainian cabal.  —Michael Z. 16:11, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose, per WP:CONSISTENT & my comments at the group RM elsewhere: [9]. As an aside, I came across this discussion while looking through Category:Literary magazines published in Russia. Starting an RM here while the group RM for other publications is still ongoing does not seem like a good use of community time. --K.e.coffman (talk) 12:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Consistent with what? Russian, Slavic, and other foreign journal titles are all over the map. WP:CONSISTENCY is the lowest in the priority WP:CRITERIAORDER of the WP:CRITERIA. Unless there is a good reason identified to prioritize it, WP:COMMONNAME would probably trump it.  —Michael Z. 17:52, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  IMO the community can choose to zero time or plenty of time on this, since it’s a volunteer project, so I don’t understand that objection. You’re implying we mustn’t initiate tasks that K.e.coffman feels obligated to participate in but doesn’t want to.

  Which of these in your view will require an acceptable amount of time for the community?:

  1. I withdraw the batch RM and start 20 individual ones?
  2. I withdraw the batch RM and start one for every single Moscow Journal/Russian-language journal/Slavic-language journal/journal?
  3. Renaming articles on journals to improve their titles is always unacceptable?

  You seem to value CONSISTENCY, so let me know how to achieve it. —Michael Z. 18:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mean to denigrate your contributions; I'm sorry that my post came across this way. I meant to suggest that having multiple discussions in parallel, on exactly the same topic -- spelling and capitalisation for obscure Russian-language periodicals, for which COMMONNAME may or may not exist -- is repetitive. It would be better to wait for the close on the group RM. I commented further there: [10]. My opinion on this RM remains unchanged. -- K.e.coffman (talk) 19:33, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

As far as I can tell, there are periodicals with COMMONNAME titles that happen to correspond to WP:RUS and ones that don’t, and ones that correspond to multiple or practically all schemes (e.g., Okno). Like personal and place names, there may or may not be a most common romanization standard for all Russian-language periodicals, or for 19th-c periodicals (likely ALA-LC since that is how periodicals are catalogued), but there will certainly never be complete consistency in all relevant articles. So we will keep RMing them individually to establish stable titles.

I see the group RM as a convenience exercise, to do 20 similar nineteenth-century ones at once. Not some precedent-setter or institutionalization of any new guideline. Plenty of titles were renamed previously, and plenty more are likely to be renamed in the future, without regard to waiting for one (or 20) to conclude before starting another.

I don’t see how waiting can make the process less repetitive, only extends it.  —Michael Z. 00:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
