Yuxarı Oratağ → Verin Horatagh – Move to "Verin Horatagh" per WP:AT/WP:COMMONNAME:

Results from Google: Verin Horatagh: 571 Yuxarı+Oratağ: 190 AntonSamuel (talk) 15:20, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Clarification: Utilizing search results from Google should be done with caution, but is acceptable per WP:NCGN:

Regarding multiple local names: "Simple Google tests are acceptable to settle the matter, despite their problems; one solution is to follow English usage where it can be determined, and to adopt the name used by the linguistic majority where English usage is indecisive."

As this matter concerns a larger issue that is a matter of contention - an RfC for a naming convention for Nagorno-Karabakh may be needed if consensus cannot be achieved, as has been suggested before, however I hope the admin that closes this discussion will look carefully at all the arguments that have been made and take WP:VOTE into consideration.

 * Support. Name was also used in Soviet names ensuring that it's WP:NPOV. — CuriousGolden (T·C)  15:28, 21 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Support - per my belief that town names should be whatever the 1988 majority ethnic group prefers. --RaffiKojian (talk) 18:19, 21 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Most search results are mirrors, tweets, hashtags, and dodgy websites. Too little-known of a locality to claim an established common name in English. Parishan (talk) 07:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
