Number 57 has just moved this article to Shelly Yachimovich, claiming that it's the common name. Can anyone support this claim? The Knesset site spells it Yacimovich and her own site uses Yehimovitz. So, what is the rationale for the move? -- Ynhockey ( Talk) 18:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
The previous editors describe her journalistic beat as "feminist and socialistic." As she was published in the mainstream media, it's more likely to be "women's and social welfare" (or social justice) issues, and these descriptors are slanted (and antagonistic). Without citable evidence either way, I've made an interim edit and am recording my impressions here for follow-up. -- Deborahjay ( talk) 08:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
According to reliable polls, Yachimovich will lead the Labor party in the upcoming elections. This article should anticipate the attention Yachimovich will be receiving.
The result of the move request was: not moved. After over three weeks of discussion, there is still no consensus for a move here. While Common Name does indeed say that "...ambiguous or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined by reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources", there is both no clear consensus below that the website provided by the requestor is sufficient enough to make a name change, given the fact that it has varied on said site in the past as well as the overwhelming usage the current spelling by reliable media outlets.

talk) 19:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC) Dear all, I'm afraid there has been a grave misunderstanding. There's one person who knows best how to spell her name, and that's her. She spells her name Yechimovich. An evidence is on her official biography at her official website here:
http://www.shelly.org.il/node/2011. Another evidence is the way her name is spelled on the Knesset website email, syechimovich@knesset.gov.il. This spelling has been personally verified to me by Shelly's parliamentary aid. The spelling as it is today - Yachimovich - is not only incorrect but misleading and has caused numerous misspellings of her name by the international press. Tal Sokol.
