Title

Per WP:BELARUSIANNAMES the title should be Vyetka, though it may be possible to argue that Vetka is the common name. In the meantime, it should be moved to Vyetka. Mellk (talk) 08:34, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vietka → Vyetka
Vietka District → Vyetka District

– Per WP:BELARUSIANNAMES. The letter "е" in Belarusian should be romanized as "ye" (Vyetka). Mellk (talk) 16:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Bensci54 (talk) 17:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think Vetka might be the better move here as almost everything I am finding on google references Vetka. In contrast, most of the results for Vietka or Vyetka are related to Kirov. I also want to comment that there is an unsourced note on the Vietka District page indicating that Vietka is indeed the offical transliteration. I am going to relist and notify WP Belarus. Bensci54 (talk) 17:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see "did you mean Vyatka" when searching for Vyetka but the results are still primarily about the town in Belarus. For Vetka it is a bit mixed, including results about other things. I do not see a clear common name here as a result. Mellk (talk) 21:53, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:PLACE: "Major cities (voblast capitals) are named according to the most common English usage. All other settlements are named according to national rules". Absent a very strong COMMONNAME case for "Vetka", the BGN/PCGN transliteration should be used. 162 etc. (talk) 18:04, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, per the above I will revise my opinion to Support. Additional comment: is it worth adding a "not to be confused with" hatnote pointing to Kirov, aka Vyatka? Bensci54 (talk) 13:24, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
