Requested move 11 January 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Rough consensus that this town is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for its name, and that the "Shchekino" spelling is the WP:COMMONNAME by a large enough margin to override the recommendations of WP:RUS.

See also Shchyokino (disambiguation), which I will propose renaming too. —Michael Z. 19:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

• Note to closer: nom moved Shchyokino → Shchekino as stated above. I have updated the move request to add the resulting associated dab. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:48, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

  In the case of the dab page all items but one are spelled that way, so I don’t know why it’s name should depend on this one.  —Michael Z. 02:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose, the number of hits is insufficient to determine what COMMONNAME is, and we need top use WP:RUS. The two above user are on a crusade in an editing area they have very little understanding about.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:36, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

• Support per nom. This is a city of 60,000 and clearly the primary topic among numerous red-linked villages listed. The proposed transliteration is for an order of magnitude higher than the current one based on WP:RUS. No such user (talk) 12:53, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
