The result of the move request was: moved. Rough consensus that this town is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for its name, and that the "Shchekino" spelling is the WP:COMMONNAME by a large enough margin to override the recommendations of WP:RUS.

 * In the case of the dab page all items but one are spelled that way, so I don’t know why it’s name should depend on this one. —Michael Z. 02:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per link submitted within the nomination. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:39, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose, the number of hits is insufficient to determine what COMMONNAME is, and we need top use WP:RUS. The two above user are on a crusade in an editing area they have very little understanding about.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:36, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. This is a city of 60,000 and clearly the primary topic among numerous red-linked villages listed. The proposed transliteration is for an order of magnitude higher than the current one based on WP:RUS. No such user (talk) 12:53, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
