Kyrgyz doesn't have one single method of romanization. "Erkeshtam" would conform with BGN/PCGN romanization of place names (which is the only case in which there is a commonly accepted system for Kyrgyz), so you need to provide reliable sources. We can't just take your word for it. Sumanuil 01:18, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

As the one proposing the move, it's your job to provide sources. We still can't just take your word for it. Maybe this will help: ? Sumanuil 08:17, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
