req move[edit]

page should be andrei, not andrey. 'Andrei' is the most common use, and even based on the page itself, is by far common use on wikipedia bio articles.--Львівське (говорити) 22:28, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Both "Andrey" and "Andrei" are valid transliterations. Since this is supposed to be an article, its title should follow the usage by reliable sources dealing with the subject, but seeing how the page is currently completely unsourced, the title is subject to the general romanization guidelines, and WP:RUS, WP:UKR, and WP:CYR#Bulgarian all transliterate "й" as "y". I don't know how it's spelled in Romanian/Moldovan, but if it's always "i", then perhaps this page shouldn't exist at all and just redirect to Andrew. When English-language sources dealing with the subject are added, the situation can be reviewed again, of course.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 13, 2012; 15:22 (UTC)
