Khoyniki → Khoiniki – Per WP:COMMONNAME. See Ngram for example. Mellk (talk) 22:25, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Khoiniki → Khoyniki – Per WP:BELARUSIANNAMES, this should follow BGN/PCGN romanization of Belarusian in the absence of a clear common name. In this case, there is no clear common name. For example, the number of results on Google for "Khoyniki" is greater than the number for "Khoiniki". Google Books returns not enough results for this to be used to determine the common name in English. Mellk (talk) 07:37, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose - See the Ngram listed in the previous RM, which you yourself posted. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- As I mentioned above, there are not enough results from Google Books for this to be considered the common name. The town itself is not well known and the common name as a result usually applies only to the regional capitals where there are clear common names. If we search for results for Khoiniki from this century only, there are only 80 results that are visible. If we search for Khoyniki, it is a similar number (slightly higher). As a result, there is no clear common name. Mellk (talk) 13:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. It's a bit unusual for the proposer of the last RM to be now advocating for its reversal! But I think the same as UtherSRG, you had it right the first time, the ngrams show a clear lead for the current title and that extends all the way through to 2019 too so not just a legacy thing. Status quo is fine. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 16:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
