Talk:Karina Kiseleva

Surname?

The article uses two versions of her surname: Kisialiova and Kiseleva. Why? Is the article correct to use the version that it is? MurielMary (talk) 09:26, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

It looks like the literal translation of the native name is Karina Kiseleva, but the pronunciation is a bit different, which is why the sources have two different spellings in English script. That is why I chose to refer to the subject by their first name. Zuck28 (talk) 09:32, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

The subject should be referred to by their surname. Also, the article title and the name in the first sentence, and the name in the infobox should all be the same (or there should be an explanation in the article about why there are different spellings). What is the most common spelling in English language sources about her? MurielMary (talk) 09:35, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @MurielMary, after the critical assessment of various English sources, it is evident that the most common spelling of her name is "Karina Kiseleva".

OK, then we should change the article name accordingly. I can do that later on, unless you want to do that? MurielMary (talk) 19:28, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes please go ahead. I agree! Zuck28 (talk) 19:48, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

@MurielMary, please note, the common name is "Karina Kiseleva" not "Karyna". Zuck28 (talk) 10:06, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Ah yes, sorry I didn't notice that in your previous comment. There is already a page "Karina Kiseleva" and it is a redirect to "Karyna Kiseleva". I can't remember how to replace the redirect with the article. I can ask around for some help, or feel free to investigate yourself as well if you have time.

Done! Zuck28 (talk) 11:14, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
