Article Name

[edit]

Hello Wikipedians, as you may know, the common, prevailing theme for Russian Imperial province article names in English Wikipedia is their commonly-appearing Anglicisation in English sources. For example, the more common "Ardahan Okrug" is used instead of the transliterated "Ardagan Okrug" or "Ardaganskii Okrug" (there is no "h" in Russian, it usually is replaced by "g" or "kh"), therefore, to determine the article title for the Borchalo Uyezd, the most-commonly appearing spelling/Anglicisation in English language sources should be found, which is commonly done on Wikipedia by counting the search results from searching each variation on Google Ngram, Google Scholar, and Google Advanced Book Search, per WP:SET.

Google Ngram Search
All variants compared: 1 result of each
Google Scholar Search
"Borchaly uezd": 3 results
"Borchaly uyezd": 2 results
"Borchali uezd": 7 results
"Borchali uyezd": 1 result
"Borchalo uezd": 2 results
"Borchalo uyezd": 1 result
"Borchala uezd": 1 result
"Borchala uyezd": 0 results
"Borchalu uezd": 4 results
"Borchalu uyezd": 0 results
Google Advanced Book Search, per WP:SET (hide “Tools” to see totals):
-"Borchaly uezd": 58 results
-"Borchaly uyezd": 128 results
-"Borchali uezd": 31 results
-"Borchali uyezd": 4 results
-"Borchalo uezd": 21 results
-"Borchalo uyezd": 2 results
-"Borchala uezd": 0 results
-"Borchala uyezd": 0 results
-"Borchalu uezd": 69 results
-"Borchalu uyezd": 5 results

From tallying these results, it's evident that "Borchaly" is the more commonly appearing variant in English sources, hence, the easiest for readers to find and piece-together in their understanding of the counties of the Tiflis Governorate. In conclusion, it can be inferred from the results that the most common name variant "Borchaly" uezd/uyezd should be used in the article title in place of the others, however, the others should be mentioned in the article, in addition to denoting their etymological origin, and creating redirect articles to the "Borchaly Uyezd" page. -Nunuxxx (talk) 02:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
