The result of the move request was: Consensus not to move, therefore, not moved. Sources prefer "Petro", so "Petro" is the WP:COMMONNAME. (closed by non-admin page mover) Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 21:21, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – He seems to be rather often referred to as Petro in sources (WP:COMMONNAME). Is he more commonly referred to as Peter? Institutions named after him include "Petro Jacyk Education Foundation" and "Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research". – Þjarkur (talk) 20:50, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Subject was Ukrainian and "Petro" is the Ukrainian form of the English name "Peter". After settling in the English-speaking world, he continued to use "Petro" for his Ukrainian cultural and philanthropic works, while using "Peter" for his English-language business related activities. Since "Petro" is his birth name and the name he continued to use, it should take precedence over his adopted English name. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
