Talk:Serhiy Haiduchenko

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Page moved as proposed. There's really little consensus whether "Gayduchenko" or "Gaiduchenko" should be used, but the latter seems to have more support here. If good sources are found for either name, another move request would be in order. Ucucha 13:27, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Serhii Haiduchenko → Sergei Gaiduchenko — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:UCN. "Serhii Haiduchenko" only once found in English-language sources and that is merely a copy-paste from this Wiki article, but "Sergei Gaiduchenko" is commonly used (about 1,430 English pages). Relisted for further input. Jafeluv (talk) 15:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

 * "Sergey Gayduchenko" is only found 780 times by google, which is a distinct minority. "Sergei Gaiduchenko" is found more often. --Львівське (talk) 15:16, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. Garik 11 (talk) 15:23, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Wanna know why Gaiduchenko is used most? Because that's what I named this page months ago. ;) --Львівське (talk) 23:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Google hits that derive from the current, or previous, Wikipedia title are not a valid way of determining what the title should be.  Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and, in any case, it would be self-perpetuating.  Surely this is a case of whether we use the transliteration of a Ukraninian name, or the transliteration of a Russian name.  If there are no reliable sources in the Latin script, what about the Cyrillic script?  Anyone got any examples?  Skinsmoke (talk) 16:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Gayduchenko and Gaiduchenko are both used, but mostly by databases or blogs or other such media. I think he was drafted as Gayduchenko and that's the name when he played in a junior tournament in Canada; NHL site says Gayduchenko, but they also say he was born in Russia, so they have no clue. Outside of that there's not much media on him, but what is available is in Russian, which is what warps the name up (via a double-translation from ukr to rus to eng). I haven't got on this, and honestly, I'm surprised there are comments on this because the guy's not all that notable of a player.--Львівське (talk) 18:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
