Georgian name

A simple Google Search reveals how relevant the Georgian name of this Armenian school is:

• Armenian name Ներսիսյան դպրոց -- 184,000 results
• Russian name Нерсесяновское училище --- 1,800 results
• Georgian name ნერსისიანის სემინარია -- 38 results

Could you now explain why should the Georgian name come first? This school was entirely Armenian at a time when Georgia was part of Russia.

And, stop accusing me in unsourced editing. In fact, by my one of the last few edits [1] I added a source. Check your facts and stop edit warring. Georgian name, along with the Russian one, can remain in the article, but there is no reason why it should come before the Armenian name. --Երևանցի ^talk 23:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't see why the Georgian name should be included, much less why it should take precedence over the Armenian. For most of its existence, the school was located in the Russian empire and not the modern republic of Georgia. The Google results for the Georgian name link to a page on the Armenian community in Georgia and not much else–certainly nothing that would support its inclusion. Giorgi appears to believe that its inclusion is justified because the school existed in what is today Georgia but I don't think that is a good enough reason. This article is concerned with the past and the Georgian name's role in the history of this institution was insignificant, though perhaps worthy of a footnote (it did exist for a few years in the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia). And if we wanted to be accurate, the Armenian name would be in the traditional orthography since the reformed Soviet spelling was put into practice after the school's closure.
