Dzmitry Baskau → Dmitri Baskov – This is the romanization used by most English-language sources, as seen here at The Hockey News, ESPN, AP News, IIHF .... 162 etc. (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 17:56, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Citing particular sources proves nothing. I just looked up the first English reference currently in the article https://belsat.eu/en/news/pro-govt-athlete-official-get-latvia-s-travel-ban-they-may-be-involved-in-murder-of-raman-bandarenka/ and it calls him Dzmitry Baskau. This is a difficult one as most sources are not in English, but we need better evidence to justify a move. (And editing the article to change references would not change this, just BTW.)

Per Wikipedia policy (WP:COMMONNAME), the name most often used in English-language sources is the one we should prefer. While some sources use other transliterations such as "Dzmitry Baskau" and "Dmitry Baskov", my Googling indicates that the proposed "Dmitri Baskov" is most common, and I have cited reliable sources to illustrate that. 162 etc. (talk) 18:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
