Kyiv Bilshovyk Uprising → Kiev Bolshevik Uprising — To substitute the Ukrainian words Kyiv (Київ) and Bilshovyk (Більшовик) for its English equivalents "Kiev" and "Bolshevik".

Currently, this article is titled "Kyiv Bilshovyk Uprising". Wouldn't "Kiev Bolshevik Uprising" be a better title ? I'm not familiar with the name(s) given to these events in English-language publications, and the current formulation is a good descriptive title, but at the very least we should make the words understandable to our anglophone readership. - Best, Ev (talk) 21:25, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It would be more consistent with the criteria mentioned in the "Deciding an article title" section of our policy on article titles.
 * It would be consistent with our entries on both Kiev & Bolshevik.
 * A Google Books search for "Kyiv Bilshovyk Uprising" comes up empty (although asking if I meant "Kyiv Bolshevik Uprising"). A Google Books search for "Kiev Bolshevik Uprising" doesn't return any direct results, but indicates that at the very least those words are used in English-language publications.

 * Support Kiev and Bolshevik are clearly the normal words in English. PatGallacher (talk) 02:40, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Support I've never been entirely convinced that we should be using Kiev rather than Kyiv, but for the sake of consistency this proposal makes sense. Even if we ignore the arguments about Kiev/Kyiv, the Bolshevik part should need no discussion, as Bilshovyk is unknown in English.  Skinsmoke (talk) 16:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support "Bilshovyk" ? Seriously? This is the English Wikipedia, not the Latin Transcription Wikipedia. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:04, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. "Bolshevik" is a well-established word in the English language; there is no need to resort to transliteration here.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 15, 2010; 17:26 (UTC)
