Relation to President Aliyev[edit]

Does anyone know if Yaşar Aliyev is of any relation to the current Azeri President, Ilham Aliyev? If so it would be worth mentioning in the article. I have not been able to verify this information myself. --128.101.142.157 (talk) 19:05, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Yaşar Aliyev → Yashar Aliyev — On Wikipedia, Azeri names with diacritics are normally fully transliterated in standart Roman letters —Parishan 21:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC) - Discussion section added by SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 12:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Survey - in support of the move[edit]

Support. Yashar Aliyev gets 829 ghits; Yaşar Aliyev gets 67; also, many of the latter sites omit the diacritic and render the first name as Yasar. On the very first page of my first search are the UN and the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both of which use Yashar. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 12:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. We should use common English spelling. Grandmaster 16:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I've always been in support of this, especially on the page Ilham Aliyev. --adil 17:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey - in opposition to the move[edit]

Oppose, actually, I'd be in favour of Yaşar Əliyev instead. —Nightst a llion (?) 16:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. Although it may not seem that way by a simple vote count, this is strong majority, since other users have expressed their objections elsewhere (inc. WP:RM and other polls carried out simulataneously). --Stemonitis 08:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
