Izolyatsia arts foundation → Izolyatsia
Izolyatsia → Izolyatsia prison

– The arts organization Izolyatsia (2010–present) is the primary subject for this name in English, per WP:COMMONNAME. The name refers to the organization in most search results, presumably because it actively hosts art events and publishes with an international scope for over a decade. Reliable sources refer to it as merely Izolyatsia, or Izolyatsia Art Foundation, Izolyatsia Arts Centre, and its collaborative artists’ group Izolyatsia Arts Group.

(The spelling Izolyatsia is the arts organization’s official name and appears in its own English-language materials and in reliable sources, and therefore is correct for the title per WP:COMMONNAME. Incidentally, the most common conventional Ukrainian romanization would be Izoliatsiia and would be used otherwise – I only found it in a single source translated from Ukrainian.[1])

The prison (2014–present) has no known official name, is often referred to descriptively as “a ‘DPR’ secret prison,” “concentration camp,” or some such, and the name often simply identifies it by its location as “at Izolyatsia.”

Google Searches for reliable sources:

The name comes from the name of the otherwise non-notable former Soviet and Ukrainian factory (1955–1990) on the site, as well as its product (ізоляція, izoliatsiia = “insulation”). It was adopted for the art centre because it also means “isolation,” a quality that can be attributed to the former contemporary art scene in Donetsk, and of a place for artists’ retreats and residencies. —Michael Z. 20:10, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mzajac, I'm not sure a discussion is needed in this case since it's a pretty uncontroversial move. Regardless I agree with the proposed move. Curbon7 (talk) 01:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have sometimes been surprised what is controversial, so I tend to formally RM unless there’s an immediate precedent. In this case I also thought someone else may have more insight or a better idea on this than I do. —Michael Z. 02:21, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
