It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved.
Why don't you use the actual Belarusian name of the city for the name of this article: Homyel? This name is used in all actual atlases and even on maps of the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C. "Gomel" ist the Russian name of the city used during the Soviet era. Best wishes, Hanno Meissner, Wolfsburg, Germany
What if we just take latin spelling: Homel, which was used in medieval maps? Unomano 14:10, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Much more common word, and has much more hits in all searches, moreover the city server uses it, as do most of the English language press. eg. BBC. WP:Naming conventions says clearely on which version to use the version most common in English eg. Kyiv vs Kiev. -- Kuban Cossack 12:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Simple googling gives 50K hits for Homyel ( [5]), 505K hits for Homel [6] (with many being last names, not the city) and 1750K hots for Gomel [7].
Columbia uses Gomel [8], Brittanica uses Homel [9], Brittanica Concise uses Homyel [10].
It looks like claims that Homyel is the most common English spelling are dubious. I would prefer either Homel or Gomel, with Gomel seems to be at least twice as common in English as Homel. Lets see the other arguments for a name.
The good thing about been an admin is that I could move an article wherever the community wants it to be moved without going into the formal discussion but lets see what the community thinks abakharev 23:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was not moved. There has been no discussion after ten days, hence no consensus to move. ● DanMS • Talk 20:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
The opinion of Belarusians is that correct transliteration of this city name is Homiel. I am requesting that article name was changed to Homiel; and Homel, Homyel, Gomel articles become redirects. Being a Belarusian-, Russian- and English-speaking person, I find it quite annoying that articles related to Belarus and anything Belarusian receive translit titles based on any language you can imagine... except Belarusian. Oh well, those who show an "extensive" transliteration experience, are forgetting, however, that article itself is in a pitiful state. maksdo 17:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
This city should be using the Belarusian name not Russian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.103.182.21 ( talk) 17:12, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

How far is Gomel from Chernobyl - worth mentioning due it being affected.
Go to Google Maps and paste this into the search box: 52.416667,30.983333
Anyone have any idea what this is? It's about 40 km SW of Gomel, so I figured this would be a good place to ask.

The Russian Woodpecker article has several coordinates at the bottom that seem to suggest they should point to the location of the antennas these radars used. However, none of the coordinates are correct, pointing either to buildings in downtown Gomel, fields south of it, an airbase/airport north of it, or in one case the middle of nowhere near Vilnius!
These antennas should be easy to spot for anyone that lives in the area. Can someone pinpoint them for me?

An article about Gomiel includes many instances of Homiel. Xx236 ( talk) 15:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I just want to point out how ridiculous it is that this article remains Gomel while Homiel Voblast is the correct translit. Both should match up, not one of each. -- Lvivske ( talk) 05:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
The "history" section seems to stop abruptly in the 1700s. I'm seeking to find out what government Gomel belonged to - specifically in the latter part of the 19th century and beginning of 20th. This looks like a serious gap to me - can anyone address it? Thanks - Martha ( talk) 22:21, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Gomel. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{

after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

I plan to add a two paragraph description of sports in Gomel that includes the names of a few sports facilities and the city's Olympic and Deaflympic presence, with some statistics. All of this information has been gathered from these two sources: [1] and [2]. This is my first time contributing to Wikipedia, so there a bound to be errors. Nevertheless, below will be similar to what I will add:
Athletics is of incredible importance to the city of Gomel. The city is home to several sports facilities, which are continuously being developed and further improved. The sports facilities in Gomel represent several sports, such as hockey and football (American soccer). Gomel has eight stadiums as well as the Ice Palace, which has two ice arenas. The Central Stadium is the home of Gomel’s local football club, FC Gomel. The city hosts multiple international competitions in these facilities, the annual “Bells of Chernobyl” competition being one of the many. In addition to sports facilities, Gomel has a multitude of Olympic Reserve Schools, which is more commonly referred to as sports schools.
A majority of Gomel’s sports schools prepare exceptional athletes starting from a young age. Many champions have been trained by schools such as these. For example, one school, Gomel’s Olympic Reserve Number 4, has trained 97 World and European champions as well as two Olympic athletes. Gomel State College of Olympic Reserve, however, trains coaches. From this school, 44 graduates have participated in the Olympics, European championships, and World championships. Gomel also participates in the Deaflympics and, between the years 2007-2009, has been awarded: two gold medals, one silver medal, and two bronze medals.
