Yutian County, Xinjiang → Keriya County – Somebody renamed this article as of Chinese Pinyin, the correct name should be Keriya County as it is in Google map Tarim116 (talk) 15:50, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Searching on Google Books for "Yutian", excluding the county in Hebei and Hotan, which was formerly named Yutian, yields 2,280 results, whereas Keriya, excluding the hotel in Georgia, gives 1,690. In the absence of a substantive preference for one name over the other in third-party reliable sources, the official name, Yutian as revealed in the government website URL xjytgov.cn, should take precedent.

  • Oppose Google maps is not sufficient, but the Google counts are so small as to not be of much assistance either. There was a decent amount of coverage of the 2014 Yutian earthquake which occurred in this region. Research coverage of the earthquakes almost entirely uses Yutian; most news stories simply refer to it as being in Xinjiang, and give phrasings such as The area is known in Chinese as Yutian, and in the local Uighur language as Keriya [1]. I think the balance leans toward Yutian. As a final note, for a mid-level subdivision like this (which isn't enough to have an English name (like Tibet Autonomous Region) but also isn't a city), I would generally assume that "whatever the government says" (presumably Yutian) is the name that should be used. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Keriya is a historical city where existed kingdoms in the pastHistory of KeriyaKeriya, also known as Keriya in many sourcesKeriyaKeriya. The 2014 earthquake aslo reported as KeriyaKeriya 2014. Now 98% of the whole population is Uyghur people and they call it as Keriya, too. The name Yutian is the Pinyin of Chinese name 于田. It's real that government websites using the Chinese spelling even for historical cities like Hotan and Kashgar as HetianHotan and Kashi as reported ban for Uyghur language Uyghur language1Uyghur language2Uyghur language3Uyghur language4, where is the respect for history and for the land? So please it is better keep it as Keriya, Thanks.--Eynal (talk) 08:03, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Blocked sock of the editor who started the move discussion. Dekimasuよ! 12:33, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Your Tianditu naming most of the local cities in Xinjiang in Pinyin alone, especially Kashgar as Kashi, so we need to change Kashgar later also? This (Xizang) is Tibet region government website which mentioned tibet as Xizang, why not Tibet? Just check Google map instead Tianditu which is made in China.--Eynal (talk) 11:35, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Blocked sock of the editor who started the move discussion.

See my response on Talk:Minfeng County for the Kashgar explanation it will also apply to Tibet as well. — ASDFGH (talk?) 12:16, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For Yutian County (Chinese: 于田县; pinyin: Yútián Xiàn) again it is also a recent created county compare to the town still using historical endonym name in both Uyghur and Chinese: Keriya Township (Chinese: 科克亚乡; pinyin: Kēkèyà Xiāng) Nevermind about town, “Yutian” (Chinese: 于田; pinyin: Yútián) is an corrupted form of the ancient exonym Chinese name of Kingdom of Khotan, while the Uyghur endonym “Keriya” in Chinese would be “Keliya” (Chinese: 克里雅; pinyin: Kèlǐyǎ) are different. — ASDFGH (talk?) 12:42, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Keriya always been a core part of Uyghur culture and history, in Chinese it was called 于阗(Yutian) in the past, but it doesn't mean that the name now should be Yutian, Why it should follow the Chinese spelling? Why not Uyghur name Keriya? As Uyghurs we never accept the Chinese spelling, please administrator give the name Keriya. --Orxunuyghur (talk) 19:28, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
