Name[edit]

Even the 2008 Olympics official results site mistransliterated his name [1] --Rumping (talk) 23:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This person's family name is actually Чахкиев, not *Чакхиев. See for instance this video, where the Russian-speaking commentator (as well as the caption on the screen) clearly say Чахкиев. I'm renaming the page and making appropriate changes in the text. --Malatinszky (talk) 16:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved per Amakuru. (non-admin closure) GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 19:23, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rakhim Chakhkiyev → Rakhim Chakhkiev – Overwhelmingly WP:COMMONNAME, per Google results; BoxRec; and all English-language media. – Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:54, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The reason given for the move (at the time) was WP:RUS, however. Is there a conflict? — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 18:20, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Mac Dreamstate and Andy M. Wang: No conflict. It was simply a move made a long time ago when the boxer in question was not as well known within English media, and this is WP:ENG after all. The move should never have been made in the first place. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:28, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Where there's a common English name used in reliable sources we should go with that, even if our Russian transliteration rules say something else. — Amakuru (talk) 18:28, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
