Talk:Leila Ismailava

Name
It has been requested at wp:RM/TR that this page be moved to Leila Ismailava. Is there a cite for this name, as IMDb and her facebook page use the current spelling, and the -ova surname surfix seems to be the accepted spelling for some Eastern European countries.Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 22:54, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment The current spelling is the same as that used on IMDb (not RS) but also on her facebook page, also -ova seems to be the generic female surname for some Eastern European countries.Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 22:50, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment -ova surname surfix to be accepted spelling for Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Russia, Ukraine and other, but -аva in Belarus. In the USSR, the practice of transliteration of surnames, usually with the Russian language (-ova). Now in Belarus approved a Belarusian transliteration (-ava) (Please see page of Leila in Belarusian Wikipedia.) Leila on her Facebook page uses the old Soviet spelling, from Russian. --Telman Ganja (talk) 23:04, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's quite accurate to say it's just an "old Soviet spelling". Russian is the second official language of Belarus as well as the mother tongue of a substantial portion of the population, and if I understand correctly Belarusians even have their names spelled in both languages in their passports. The usual practice in Wikipedia is to use a transliteration of the Belarusian form, though. Jafeluv (talk) 06:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
