Yabgu → Yabghu – Seems to be more common per. Timmyshin (talk) 10:12, 1 April 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dekimasu よ! 20:55, 8 April 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. — usernamekiran (talk)   21:22, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment. Google Books appears to disagree with ngrams. Subtracting Wikipedia, I'm getting 10.6K hits for Yabgu and 3.5K hits for Yabghu on Google Books. In normal Google results as well, I'm getting 164K for Yabgu and 19.4K for Yabghu. Are there other reasons to move the page? Dekimasu よ! 20:55, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose per 's findings. It's perhaps significant that Ngram only goes to 2008, making it 10 years and thousands of books out of date.--Cúchullain t/ c 13:46, 17 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Support (barely) per nom. After a perusal of print sources in Google Books, I find the spelling Yagbu gets numerous false positives (given name, band name, foreign-language sources, &c.).  Yaghbu is used more in many sources similar to Wikipedia (encyclopedias, histories, etc.) and it is consistent with Wikipedia practice with some other similar articles where we include the h (Oghuz, Uyghur).  After saying that, Wikipedia's titles and usage are generally a mess in this area.  It's hard to find overwhelmingly common spellings in some of these cases, and it would be nice to have guidelines to fall back on to deal with cases like Aq Qoyunlu/Kara Koyunlu.  —  AjaxSmack  14:29, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
