Proletarske → Piatypillia – There appears to be no English-language coverage of this settlement under either name. Using Google, I couldn't find any mentions of the settlement outside of lists of renamed settlements. All the results under the "Proletarske" name are actually referring to an unrelated settlement in Kharkiv Oblast with the same name. In the absence of an established English-language WP:COMMONNAME, we should use the official name given to the town by the Ukrainian government with the national transliteration system, per WP:UAPLACE. WP:PLACE also recommends using "the modern official name" where there is no established English name. HappyWith (talk) 18:37, 6 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I object applying UAPLACE to localities which have never bee held by Ukraine after they have been renamed. You can only rename something you control, otherwise the rename is just on paper and does not affect the locality in any way.

 * Support. WP:WIAN suggests some reliable sources for up-to-date naming, and they support renaming.
 * GNIS: name Piatypillia; variant names Proletariy, Proletarske, Proletarskoye
 * Maps
 * Google Maps: Proletars'ke
 * Apple Maps: Pyatypillia
 * Arguments about what has or has not been occupied by Russian forces and Russian proxies, and when, are largely irrelevant (and see WP:OFFICIALNAME). Article titling is about reliable English-language sources, and since the renaming in 2016 RS have started using the current name. This also demonstrates the utility of the guideline UAPLACE for places in UA. —Michael Z. 19:02, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
