Sami or Sámi

Is there a reason Sami is preferred over Sámi? I am asking out of mere curiosity. Perceptivity (talk) 14:44, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Sami is the more usual English spelling, as far as I know, and according to Doremo in this discussion. As you can see, some of the pages were moved unilaterally, then a discussion started which showed no consensus for any of the names. Now we're stuck with the current inconsistent mess, with different articles using different spellings and article names using different spellings from article contents. Before, everything used the spelling "Sami". Therefore I'd prefer it if the pre-December 2018 status quo were restored. Rua (mew) 15:54, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
