Maryivka → Marivka – This article cites no English-language sources. There are very few mentions of this place in English-language reliable sources: both spellings are found (but some search results appear to refer to other places). The BGN/PCGN Geo Names database has approved name Marivka (and variant names Mar’yevka, Mar”yivka, and Ochered’kova). Google Maps labels it Mar'ivka, Bing Maps Maryivka. There is no single most WP:COMMONNAME.

All five WP:CRITERIA are served by using the spelling that conforms to the Ukrainian National romanization as recommended by WP:UKR, which represents the official Latin-alphabet spelling and the international standard adopted by the UNGEGN and BGN/PCGN. This spelling also corresponds to the widely-used modified Library of Congress romanization (omitting diacritics and primes). It is the spelling of current standards, most likely to be encountered, predictable from the name, simple to type, and consistent with the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian place-name articles.  —Michael Z. 16:53, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

We can probably just move it without a RM, I can not figure out why I added "y" last year when I created the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:10, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps you’ve started to internalize WP:RUS for Cyrillic. —Michael Z. 15:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

I do not think so.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:00, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

The non initial use of y's for palatal sounds is still pretty common and was the statdard up until 2010, it has nothing to do with russian—blindlynx (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
