Aleksandr Olshansky → Alexander Olshanskii – The page title misspells the name it should be either Alexander Olshanskii (like in most publications) or Alexander Olshanskiy (like here: https://my.vanderbilt.edu/alexanderolshanskiy/) 2601:2C3:C37C:EB90:A0E1:E950:E0CE:3228 (talk) 19:03, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

• Support move. Sources tend to spell it Olshanskii. O.N.R. ^(talk) 20:48, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

  Which sources? OP has cited none. 162 etc. (talk) 20:52, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

• Comment. His Google Scholar profile is under Alexander Olshanskii and this is the name used on his most recent publications listed there. There are some outliers like this 2022 publication where he's credited as A Yu Ol’shanskii. This spelling (Ol’shanskii) is used on several older publications, including his book. It's my understanding that individuals create or at least can maintain and verify their own Google Scholar profiles. The Vanderbilt profile shared uses Alexander Olshanskiy and includes a copy of his CV which also uses that spelling. A different Vanderbilt page uses A.Yu. Olshanskii. Alexander Olshanskii seems to have the most support but sources are not consistent. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 17:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
• Support per nomination, O.N.R. and per comment by MYCETEAE. The given name has been anglicized as "Alexander". As for the surname, it is indeed inconsistently transliterated, but the form currently depicted in main title header, Olshansky, does not appear to be frequently used in reference to the subject. Ultimately, the Google Scholar form appears to be most intuitive. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:24, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
