Merge with Andrei Petrov

[edit]

Obviously the same person. -- JackofOz (talk) 21:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but to which page? "Andrei" has been here longer but "Andrey" has more text. I'm not sure which spelling is preferable. I can history merge the two articles to keep all the contributions on one page. DVD 05:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably there are cites with each spelling. I'd suggest you simply choose one, and use the other as a redirect. -- JackofOz (talk) 06:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RUS says:
  • If the person is the subject of English-language publications, the spelling predominantly used in such publications should be used. A preference is given to publications in the area in which the person specializes. When no single spelling predominates, use the one closest to the WP:RUS romanization guidelines.
  • Selecting the most frequently used variant based on a search engine test is not acceptable.
  • When in doubt, use WP:RUS.
Does that help? -- JackofOz (talk) 02:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
