The result of the move request was: Moved to iStories — Amakuru (talk) 12:39, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Important Stories → Vazhnyye Istorii – No evidence that the English name used is WP:COMMONNAME in English, we don't usually translate literally titles of foreign newspapers etc. - Deutsche Welle, Ukrainska Pravda, Gazeta Wyborcza, JoongAng Ilbo unless they have official English names, which doesn't appear to the case here. PS. The article also lists an alternative English name, again, without any indicationit's official (iStories), but which raises the question why was one chosen over the other?

- Move to iStories, which is the name used by reliable English-language media outlets [1] [2] [3]. 162 etc. (talk) 17:32, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Bibliographic cataloguing uses ALA-LC romanization for Russian, and most academic and popular-academic books use “modified LOC” (the same without any diacritics), so I suspect the best spelling is Vazhnye Istorii. Google Advanced Book Search limited to English-language sources favours this by 21 to 5, but I don’t know if any of them refer to this specific subject. —Michael Z. 19:56, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep the current name or Move to iStories per 162 etc. The New York Times: "iStories" vs The New York Times: "Vazhnyye Istorii". The official English-language website uses both "Important Stories" and "iStories": https://istories.media/en/. Renat 00:54, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. Keep Important Stories (no objection to a move to iStories) per WP:ENGLISH; both are widely (and somewhat equally) used in English sources. Where Vazhnyye Istorii is used it is generally followed by Important Stories in brackets. It appears in my search that "Vazhnye Istorii" is used more often than "Vazhnyye Istorii", so that could/should be given as the Romanized name. "Важные истории" is the most widely used in non-English sources - however, per WP:TRANSLITERATE, we only use Romanized names. SilkTork (talk) 09:16, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
