"Harvest festival" is a broader concept. "Dozhinki" is specific (ethnolinguistic) expression of this tradition in a particular (Slavic) culture, limited by region and common name. Being named element of Slavic folk calendar, this holiday may well be extracted as a separate article, more special than the "harvest festival" in general. See also differents interwiki links for Dozhinki and Harvest festival.
Also Dozhinki is not a another name for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is mainly christianity tradition, in the western countries. Dozhinki is based on the pre-christianity folk tradition.
Recognizable name. "Dozhinki",『Dožínky』- is a recognizable name, commonly found in the cultural context, many historical images is attributed to the use of the name (especially collected in the commons:Category:Dozhinki)
Base for contemporary events. "Dozhinki" tradition became the basis for several modern public (official) holidays and festivals.
Interwiki connectivity. Separate article about this Slavic tradition will remain in the some Wikipedia editions; English Wikipedia is main "interwiki hub", and very convenient when possible to cling to her.
Anonymous 46.174.26.245 (talk·contribs) persistently puts {{OR}} template without any explanation. Interwiki links of this article clearly suggests that it is an independent ethnocultural phenomenon (in the common tradition of the harvest festivals). --Kaganer (talk) 07:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rituals have ethnocultural variations, that merit of extraction in a separate article. The name of such an article, of course, can and should be discussed (but not in a "edit war" mode!). Even if the current title seems unnecessarily "linguistic-centered" may be good reasons to keep it, as example, from the point of view to maintain transparency of interwiki links. --Kaganer (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Of cource ;) This no cite, this is an illustration of what is written by people who know the language. I quite understand Polish and English texts, to see which version is correct.--Kaganer (talk) 00:18, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The same can be understood simply by comparing the texts of these articles. I compared and understood. How do you think that one goes up, and all the rest - do not keep up?--Kaganer (talk) 00:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the word『dożynki』can be translated (from polish to eng.), in particular, as just harvest. But traditional holiday (festival) name『Dożynki』is untranslated etnocultural element (as proper noun). Actual links is correctly. --Kaganer (talk) 00:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the common texts『Dożynki』may be translated as abstract "Harvest festival" (but not a just "Harvest"!) - English culture does not contain exactly the same holiday. But our current issue - not just a translation, but the most accurate and unambiguous link between encyclopedia articles in different languages. In this case, transcription and transliteration of proper names is not just acceptable, but a vernacular practice. --Kaganer (talk) 00:52, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dozhinki → Dożynki – It seems the current name is the least popular in English usage. Per WP:UE we should use the term that predominates in English-language reliable sources. A quick search on Google Books (with lang=en parameter) shows:
@Лобачев Владимир: That's because the tradition entered the mainstream in the last 50 or so years and currently there are official dożynki organised in virtually every gmina in Poland, sometimes also powiat-level dożynki and of course the "presidential" dożynki, sort of a central, official, state-sponsored dożynki. There's thousands of feasts organised all around Poland every year (usually in late August). No wonder the term used in English literature is based on Polish rather than Russian or Ukrainian, where the feast is much less popular apparently. //Halibutt21:53, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:: I notaВладимир Лобачев, I was involved in this issue after it posts in the russian forum of the Wikimedia Commons. There is no conspiracy ;)--Kaganer (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
