Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: There seems to have been sufficient media attention (at least in Russian) to support notability; well-written and appropriately referenced (accepting that sources in English might be sparse).

Nikolai Ageev → Nikolai Ageyev – "Ageyev" is more accurate to "Агеев" (his surname in Russian Cyrillic) since "е" gets romanized to "ye" when it occurs after vowels, according to WP:RUS. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 03:20, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It should be noted that this nomination, paired with the concurrent Artur Kitaev → Artur Kitayev at Talk:Artur Kitaev #Requested move 26 January 2025 has not taken into account the relatively recent transliteration revision of "yev" → "ev". The most prominent example is Feodor Dostoyevsky whose name is now transliterated as Feodor Dostoevsky, as seen upon the main title header of his English Wikipedia entry.

Here are covers of older and more recent English-language editions of The Brothers Karamazov, with the author's surname indicated as "Dostoyevsky" in the older translations and as "Dostoevsky" in the most recent translations. The matter was also discussed on talk pages of various individuals who bear related names and can be seen at Talk:Fyodor Dostoevsky/Archive 5#Transliteration: Dostoyevsky vs Dostoevsky. Perhaps a query at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia might help. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:05, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Unless a WP:COMMONNAME is prevalently used in English-language sources, we should follow WP:RUS. 162 etc. (talk) 17:17, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
