Common name

The common English name for the bridges appear to be different from the one currently used as article title. Here's the results per WP:SET. I have included the keyword "bridge" and excluded "Wikipedia" in searches to filter out all Wikipedia and non-bridge-related results.

Google Advanced Book Search:

"Khudafarin" 269 results (+23% from second most common result)
"Khodaafarin" 200 results
"Khoda Afarin" 219 results

Google Scholar:

"Khudafarin" 21 results
"Khodaafarin" 4 results
"Khoda Afarin" 29 results (+38% from second most common result)

Google News:

"Khudafarin" 1,430 results (+14200% from second most common result)
"Khodaafarin" 10 results
"Khoda Afarin" 6 results

All-Google Search:

"Khudafarin" about 40,500 results (+1219% from second most common result)
"Khodaafarin" about 2,580 results
"Khoda Afarin" about 3,070 results

Every Google search except Google Scholar (coincidentally also the only platform where it is not possible to restrict searches to English-only results) supports the "Khudafarin" spelling. Therefore, I intend to move the article to "Khudafarin Bridges" and adding "Khoda Afarin bridges" as an alternate name in lead in three days if no one objects. — Golden ^{call me maybe?} 15:13, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Khudafarin Bridges. I was curious why the all-Google one is so dominant compared to the others and it seems heavy on Facebook and Instagram usage which I think is interesting and is probably a better reflection of what people use than a tiny difference among scholars. Note that I came here via this canvassing allegation going on at Commons. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also see that this UNESCO page as a Azerbaijan proposal uses "Khudafarin bridges" located in "the Khoda Afarin County" which I find an interesting and intentional choice. I am trying to see if there was an Iranian proposal to get more useful sources. I have no idea of the language or nationalist issues behind these choices but I suspect there is some that people know but don't want to acknowledge.
