Lead

I am not sure why this name was removed[1] but considering it is often used[2] it should probably stay. Mellk (talk) 03:06, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kishinyov

Sorry, I accidentally reverted without leaving a note. 'Kishinyov' is not just the Romanized Russian name of the city; It was also used used[3] with the same legitimacy as 'Kishinev.'" Dintre (talk) 06:49, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are almost all translations of Russian works, from what I can see. If we check something like Ngram, Kishinyov is seldom used in comparison. We should only include significant alternative names in bold. See WP:PLACE. Mellk (talk) 06:55, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
