rename

[edit]

Should be renamed to Borisov. Altaveron (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the article be moved to Borisov, Belarus or Barysaw? I was under the impression that it is our policy not to use Łacinka. Cossack 07:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Polish name

[edit]

According to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#General guidelines an alternative foreign name can be present in the lead if it's "used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place". None of that applies to Polish Borysów. --80.193.31.89 (talk) 16:22, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The region used to be inhabited by Poles, see the map of Congress Poland covering whole Belarus.2A02:2430:3:2500:0:0:B807:3DA0 (talk) 21:14, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Belarus was not part of Congress Poland, but of Great Duchy of Lithuania within a union with Poland, and so far I haven't seen any evidence that Poles have ever formed a considerable part of the city's population. --glossologist (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The city was oart of Poland, see the map.2A02:2430:3:2500:0:0:B807:3DA0 (talk) 21:42, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The territory was indeed briefly occupied by the Polish army during the Polish-Soviet War, but it was eventually recaptured by Soviets and did not form part of the interbellum Poland. --glossologist (talk) 21:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article name change

[edit]

I suggest the article name should be changed either for Barysaŭ or Borisov.

The former is the official transliteration of Belarusian Барысаў as adopted by the government and UN. It is on maps published in Belarus and on road signs. Tourists driving cars or booking train tickets will have to know this to find the town on the Belarusian Railway website. See also the Minsk metro map for the Барысаўскі Тракт station transliteration.

The latter form is the transliteration of the Russian Борісов. It is widely used too.

Barysaw reflects neither standards nor current usage.

Requested move 17 August 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: No consensus  — Amakuru (talk) 18:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]


WP:Common Name Judging by the Google results, no one uses the two alternative spellings. Even with the Wikipedia article being called Barysaw, Barysaw "Belarus" returns 120k results on Google for me, Barysaŭ "Belarus" returns 22k, whereas Borisov "Belarus" returns more than 1 and a half million results, so more than 10 times more than the other two spelling combined. And that's with the Wikipedia article being called one of those two spellings, mind you. --212.74.201.233 (talk) 03:52, 17 August 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Adumbrativus (talk) 01:07, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
