Article name
editHello Wikipedians, as you may know, the common, prevailing theme for Russian Imperial province article names in English Wikipedia is their commonly-appearing Anglicisation in English sources. For example, the more common "Ardahan Okrug" is used instead of the transliterated "Ardagan Okrug" or "Ardaganskii Okrug" (there is no "h" in Russian, it usually is replaced by "g" or "kh"), therefore, to determine the article title for the Novobayazet Uyezd, the most-commonly appearing spelling/Anglicisation in English language sources should be found, which is commonly done on Wikipedia by counting the search results from searching each variation on Google Ngram, Google Scholar, and Google Advanced Book Search, per WP:SET.
- Google Ngram Search
- Google Scholar Search
- –"Novobayazet": 10 results
- –"Novobayazit": 4 results
- –"Novo-Bayazet": 42 results
- –"Novo-Bayazit": 8 results
- –"Novy Bayazet": 2 results
- –"Nor Bayazet": 100 results
- –"Nor Bayazit": 15 results
- –"New Bayazet": 13 results
- –"New Bayazit": 5 results
- Google Advanced Book Search, per WP:SET (hide “Tools” to see totals):
- -"Novobayazet": 172 results
- -"Novobayazit": 51 results
- -"Novo-Bayazet": 543 results
- -"Novo-Bayazit": 83 results
- -"Novy Bayazet": 2 results
- -"Nor Bayazet": 953 results
- -"Nor Bayazit": 153 results
- -"New Bayazet": 246 results
- -"New Bayazit": 60 results
From tallying these results, it is evident that "Nor Bayazet Uyezd" with 1,053 results is the more commonly appearing variant in English sources (compared with "Novo-Bayazet" with 468 fewer results) and thus the easiest for readers to find and piece-together in their understanding of the districts of the Erivan Governorate. In conclusion, it can be inferred from the results that the most commonly-appearing Anglicisation of the district, "Nor Bayazet Uyezd", should be used in the article title, however, due to the significant usage of "Novo-Bayazet Uyezd", it is worthwhile to make mention of the variant spelling in the article. -Nunuxxx (talk) 08:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
