Hurzuf → Gurzuf – The page was moved without discussion in December 2012, with the rationale that there is no preferred English name, and then the official Ukrainian transliteration (Hurzuf) should be chosen. However, there is a clear preference for Gurzuf, whch is possibly explained by the fact that it was a prominent resort since the 1900s, and was always know as Gurzuf except for the last 20 years. Google search gives 5x advantage of Gurzuf over Hurzuf. Most non-specialized (Sports Illustrated) and travel-oriented Lonely Planet resources prefer Gurzuf. Finally, the argument about Russian and Ukrainian is obviously sencitive right now, but under both Russian and Ukrainian legislation, Crimea has three state languages, which are Crimean Tatar (which uses Latin script, and spells Gurzuf), Russian, and Ukrainian. The population of Gurzuf is currently predominantly Russian.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:27, 9 May 2014 (UTC) Ymblanter (talk) 07:27, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
