Talk:Oleg Bryjak

Move to Bryjak
I don't love the undiscussed move, and I've moved it back. Both Romanization of Ukrainian/BGN/PCGN transliteration table and WP:RUS provide for /ж/ = /zh/ = [ʒ]. In English, /j/ renders as an affricate [dʒ] = /дж/, whcih is not what's in his name. Therefore, "Bryzhak" is appropriate, whether we construe his name in Ukrainian or Russian. -- Y not? 15:35, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * you say "whether we construe his name in Ukrainian or Russian"... but he was German, so neither is necessarily relevant! As far as I can tell almost every media source currently discussing the plane crash is using "Bryjak", , . On Google, the hits ratio is Oleg Bryjak 815,000 results and Oleg Bryzhak 918 results Also his own official site http://www.olegbryjak.com/ uses that spelling too. I've taken the WP:BOLD liberty of moving it back to Bryjak again, but if you really disagree then feel free to move it back again and take it to WP:RM. I would suggest it might be good to leave it though, because personally I think it's quite an open and shut case. Thanks! &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 17:34, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Bryjak is fine the way it is, and I agree with, lets not move it back to "Bryzhak", because the media, nor his official website, use that name, regardless if he is Russian or Unkrainian.  CookieMonster755  (talk)   19:34, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I get it, no problem. I was hung up on phonetics and transliteration convention, but I understand your points. -- Y not? 20:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
