Veretskyi Pass is the spelling according to WP:UKR. The article’s one English-language reference (Magocsi 2015) uses the more precise Verets’kyi Pass. The proposed Veretsky corresponds to the widely used modified LOC system, but I suspect the name and this spelling are not used enough in English to have a single clearly most common one. —MichaelZ. 14:54, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Romanization of Ukrainian "For broader audiences, a "modified Library of Congress system" is employed for personal, organizational, and place names, omitting all ligatures and diacritics, ignoring the soft sign ь (ʹ), with initial Є- (I͡E-), Й- (Ĭ-), Ю- ( I͡U-), and Я- (I͡A-) represented by Ye-, Y-, Yu-, and Ya-, surnames' terminal -ий (-yĭ) and -ій (-iĭ) endings simplified to -y[..]". I admit that Verets'kyi Pass would be the most accurate title, nevertheless for the sake of simplification in other article titles "-ий" was transliterated to "-y", e.g. Bohdan Khmelnytsky (Богдан Хмельницький) or Volodymyr Zelensky (Володимир Зеленський).

OK, you convinced me, thanks for the detailed explanation. In that case the most appropriate name of the article would be Veretskyi Pass, as you suggested. Mentatus (talk) 20:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
