Yayıcı → Kochoghot – Move to "Kochoghot" per WP:AT/WP:COMMONNAME:

Results from Google: Kochoghot: 546 Yayıcı: 539 Yayiji: 42 AntonSamuel (talk) 11:05, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Clarification: Utilizing search results from Google should be done with caution, but is acceptable per WP:NCGN:

Regarding multiple local names: "Simple Google tests are acceptable to settle the matter, despite their problems; one solution is to follow English usage where it can be determined, and to adopt the name used by the linguistic majority where English usage is indecisive."

As this matter concerns a larger issue that is a matter of contention - an RfC for a naming convention for Nagorno-Karabakh may be needed if consensus cannot be achieved, as has been suggested before, however I hope the admin that closes this discussion will look carefully at all the arguments that have been made and take WP:VOTE into consideration.

 * Support. Kochoghot also was the name used in Soviet name which ensures that the name is WP:NPOV. — CuriousGolden (T·C)  11:10, 21 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Support - per my belief that town names should be whatever the 1988 majority ethnic group prefers. --RaffiKojian (talk) 18:16, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This village is located in Azerbaijan and this name was given by Azerbaijani government. EljanM (TALK) 09:50, 23 December 2020
 * Oppose '. No that much difference in the number of results. The current official name is Yayıcı, and this is also the name featuring in all sources predating the creation of NKAO. Parishan (talk) 06:36, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose its de-jure in Azerbaijan why change it to Armenian? Carthago814 (talk) 12:39, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
