Gennady vs. Gennadi

[edit]

It probably doesn't matter much (six of one, half a dozen of another), but should we use "Gennady" or "Gennadi"? Both Chessgames.com and his FIDE rating card use Gennadi. On the other hand, Jeremy Gaige, an older source, uses Gennady, as does Olimpbase. (The Olimpbase spelling may be based on his 1974 Olympiad appearance, which would be older too.)

The two forms of the name appear quite interchangeable. Interesting that FIDE now use Gennadi, as Kazic's book (which is a complete record of FIDE events, written by a FIDE official and endorsed by the FIDE President in the Introduction) used Gennady back in 1974! When I started this article, I would have been heavily influenced by The Oxford Companion ('y'). Brace also goes for the 'y' version, whereas Golombek chooses 'i'. A Google search gives 40,000 vs 25,000 in favour of 'Gennady Kuzmin' - probably as good a guide as any (if popularity counts for anything). Brittle heaven (talk) 23:37, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should apply WP:RUS here. The Russian form is "Геннадий". That article by Wikiproject Russia recommends that the –ий ending be transliterated as -y for names of people and adjectives of Russian origin. MaxBrowne (talk) 06:38, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
