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.
Uyezd → Uezd – Per WP:COMMONNAME, as this is the most common spelling in reliable sources. It also corresponds to more romanization schemes, including the modified Library of Congress system widely used in academic and popular-academic sources, so it slightly better satisfies the WP:CRITERIA of recognizability and naturalness. This is important for this foreign borrowing that is absent from most general dictionaries (it is partly naturalized: plural forms Russian uezdy and anglicized uezds are used).[1]
Google Books Ngram shows that uezd has clearly been the most common spelling for five decades.
This may affect many titles. There are nearly 400 articles and redirects in the main space with uyezd in the title (anybody know how to count articles only?). —MichaelZ. 15:53, 12 July 2021 (UTC) —Relisting.User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 03:19, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm no expert on transliterations from Russian, but I don't find the arguments above convincing. If the current title is roughly half as popular as the proposed title, then they are both common names and it would be reasonable to go with whatever spelling was used by the first editor who made significant contributions to this article. --JECE (talk) 14:32, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the last five decades the other has been about one fifth as popular.[2]
Anyway, you would have a single random edit determine spelling in 400 article titles, just because it has never been evaluated? (Or do you want to check first significant edit for each of 400 and toss consistency? Or find its earliest significant use in en.wiki? By the way, uezd occurs in 142 pages) That is not a solid rationale for a spelling for a non-native word that is not found in general English dictionaries. We should use the spelling that is by far most common. —MichaelZ.18:42, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no preference and will use whatever version is agreed on, though should note "uyezd" is probably a more correct transliteration. Kaiser matias (talk) 22:23, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
