Rifkin → Rivkin – "Rivkin" is primary, the form "Rifkin" is a corruption (devoicing) in pronounciation. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:47, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is a list of uses of "Rifkin" in reliable sources that spell it, right or wrong, with an f. Though I understand the f/v point made by the nom, it makes no sense to move as proposed. --В²C ☎ 17:52, 9 December 2019 (UTC) see below. --В²C ☎ 17:57, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I see now that the same page lists Rivkins as well as Rifkins, and about the same number, so it could go either way. As Rivkin is closer to the Slavic spelling and becoming more accepted, I supposed it makes sense to move as proposed. --В²C ☎ 17:57, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This looks to have been a copy-and-paste move in 2007. Significant history at target. Dekimasuよ! 07:15, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
