Mikhail Kovalyov → Mikhail Kovalev – This should be switched to make the more common transliteration the page name and the less common the redirect.&#32;Havsjö (talk) 10:02, 23 April 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 15:22, 30 April 2023 (UTC)  — Relisting.

 * Any evidence to back up the assertion that this is a "more common transliteration"? — Amakuru (talk) 10:41, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Noting that Mikhail Kovalyov (politician) has also been moved without discussion by this user. Probably justified, but some sources would be nice. 162 etc. (talk) 16:27, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

The standard way to transliterate "ё" from Russian is "yo", not "e". Contesting this. Dr. Vogel (talk) 10:30, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * And even for this specific surname... Dr. Vogel (talk) 10:37, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * As of GOST 7.79-2000, "ё" is indeed transliterated into "yo", but that wasn't the case during this subject's lifetime. 162 etc. (talk) 16:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Kovalyov seems to be the WP:COMMON. But regardless, this is not uncontroversial. Dr. Vogel (talk) 21:24, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 00:30, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
