Talk:Serhii

Requested move 16 August 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Clear consensus to move away from the existing title, but participants were split on whether to move to "Serhii" or merge the page into Sergius (name). Discussion of the potential merge began to drift into whether it would actually be preferable to split the article at Sergius (name) – and while such a split would be out of scope for this RM, the fact that it received meaningful attention suggests to me that there's not consensus to be merging more content into that article right now. Accordingly, I see this RM as reaching consensus to move this article to Serhii. No prejudice against further discussions seeking to merge in or split out content from Sergius (name).

Sergiy → Serhii – 1.More results, 2.MOS:UKR.--MykolaHK (talk) 13:00, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. "Sergiy" is an outdated transliteration based upon the Russian form "Sergey". Ukrainian language does not use the letter "g" and Russian language does not use the letter "h", thus Sergiy should redirect to Serhii, rather than Serhii redirecting, as it currently does, to Sergiy. English Wikipedia has numerous "Serhii ..." entries, such as Serhii Adamchuk, Serhii Bohachuk, Serhii Cherniavskyi, Serhii Kivalov, Serhii Nykyforov, Serhii Palamarchuk, Serhii Plokhy, Serhii Sternenko, Serhii Svystun or Serhii Vasylkivsky, to name but ten. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:37, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

• support yikes! can't believe we're using comically outdated translit for something like this—blindlynx 01:04, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

• Can someone format the results of the {{in title|Serhii}} search into the list, because otherwise this looks like prescribing instead of describing? --Joy (talk) 07:30, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
• Merge to Sergius (name), just like the Russian version. No need for a separate article for this and not for the Russian name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:14, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

  Or, all of those should be split out into more manageable lists, because these are merged based on etymology, which isn't necessarily useful for readers. IOW people don't refer to every Sergey or Serhii or Sergio as Sergius, they're fairly distinct. --Joy (talk) 14:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

  The Russian church variant is Sergiy (Сергий), and this is probably why Sergiy Verigin is listed here, but sometimes this is written in English as Sergius, e.g. Sergius of Radonezh. Mellk (talk) 13:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per Necrothesp. It may be possible to instead discuss whether it is possible to split that article. Mellk (talk) 10:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
