The gazetteer Where Once We Walked (first edition) cites a town Dmitrov ( Polish: Dmytrow) at map coordinates 50•12'N/35•09'E, in relative terms described as "56 km NE of Lvov." Is there any information available about a populated locale with this name at that site? -- Deborahjay ( talk) 11:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I moved this article back to Dymytrov after it was moved undiscussed to Myrnohrad. Should it be moved back? Is this a de-Sovietization name change or a Ukrainian vs. Russian name dispute? Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:28, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved as clear consensus has been established. ( non-admin closure) — Music1201 talk 01:24, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
– All these places in Ukraine were officially renamed effective on 22 May 2016, thus the respective articles should be renamed per WP:MODERNPLACENAME. These places have no established English names (and never had them), they are small towns or raions with a population below 100,000. Articles are currently called after former local names that are not in use since 22 May, thus I propose to rename them to their new official local names according to WP:P-NUK and WP:UKR.
I do not see any reason why we can choose to keep old place names, but an administrator told me that an RM is needed here to gauge where we're at with consensus that these should be done immediately. It was also stated that these renames were controversial, which is not true at least for this case: this specific group of renames is based on proposals from local councils and does not concern any conflict zones in Eastern Donbass or Crimea. Similar renames earlier this year, like Toretsk, were uncontroversial both on-wiki (uncontested moves) and off-wiki ( source)
Sources for new names: official list in the government gazette Holos Ukrayiny (Ukrainian, complete and accurate), Interfax (English, less accurate) — NickK ( talk) 15:30, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Note - If this is about decommunization, then the law in question lists much more places to rename. In particular, I am pretty sure the whole Kuibysheve enchilada named after Bolshebik [Kuybyshev]] is to be renamed. Now, the question, how shall we handle redlinks, like in Kuibysheve?
