Oleksandr Ponomarov → Oleksandr Ponomaryov – Or some other variant. Acceptable transliterations of Ukrainian Пономарьов or Russian Пономарёв might include Ponomaryov, Ponomariov and Ponomarev, but Ponomarov is simply wrong and I highly doubt it is established this way. Note that Oleksandr Ponomaryov currently redirects to the article on a Ukrainian singer, Oleksandr Ponomariov. Theurgist (talk) 18:56, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Aleksandr Ponomarev" seems to be the most common variant. The gentleman, ethnically Ukrainian, was active during the Soviet era, which explains the Russian version of the first name, Aleksandr, as opposed to the Ukrainian one, Oleksandr. As for the last name, Russian strikes again: the letter ё, although it reads "yo", is sometimes transliterated as "e"; that's not possible for Ukrainian ьо. Otherwise, the standard transcription of both the Russian and the Ukrainian surname would be "Ponomaryov" (see WP:Romanization of Russian and WP:Romanization of Ukrainian). "Ponomarov" is just wrong in either case. The article used to be at Aleksandr Ponomarev until 2014, when it was renamed to its current title by User:Enzino, who meant to Ukrainianize it. --Theurgist (talk) 18:00, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Aleksandr Ponomarev as the most widely-used English transliteration. Giant Snowman 08:50, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
