Changing Kiev to Kyiv
I see that you are changing the name "Kiev" to "Kyiv" on several articles. I don't have much of a problem with this, but I am not sure that these changes are helpful. Wikipedia's naming conventions say that things should be named with their common English name.

I believe that the name "Kiev" is more commonly used and understood in English than "Kyiv", so I would like to change these back. Do you agree? rspεεr (talk) 05:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Kyiv
Kiev may be more used but this is a Russian word, It is very important for this to be used correctly in Ukrainian. (ArsenDr (talk) 05:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)).
 * Thanks for the response. My objection is that en.wikipedia.org is neither in Russian nor Ukrainian, it is in English. In English usage, the name "Kiev" appears to be more common (about 12 times more common, according to Google). On the Ukrainian Wikipedia, you would be correct; that article is in fact named Київ, which I recognize would be transliterated as Kyiv. rspεεr (talk) 05:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I agree but the pronunciation is in Russian for Kiev (Киев)(ArsenDr (talk) 05:53, 25 July 2009 (UTC)).
 * How it's pronounced in other languages shouldn't affect how we name things. The articles Київ, Киев, and Kiev are three articles in different languages about the same city, with Київ being the one in the predominant language of the city. Meanwhile, here on the English Wikipedia, Kyiv redirects to the more common Kiev, which is the title of the article, because the manual of style says to use the most common English name. So it's unhelpful to create links to Kyiv, as the server has to redirect everyone who clicks on them to Kiev anyway. Make sense? rspεεr (talk) 06:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If you'd like another example of how the point isn't just to transliterate the names of things in their local language: our article on a mountain that the locals call ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ, transliterated "Chomolungma", has the actual title of Mount Everest. rspεεr (talk) 06:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tyrone Lewis
A tag has been placed on Tyrone Lewis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
