Yakub Kadri KaraosmanoğluYakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu – The spelling "Yakup" for his first name is in line with modern Turkish spelling principles. It is also far more common than the "Yakub" variant in both English and Turkish-language websites. Finally, Turkish and German Wikipedia also use Yakup. 93.142.180.44 (talk) 18:44, 10 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 19:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: This would reverse a move of about two years ago

and Fayenatic london is active, last edit just two days ago. So it's surely worth pinging them (which this will do)? Andrewa (talk) 19:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support the proposal per this ngram of English print sources. A more careful perusal of the results shows that both forms are used in quality print sources. As I suspected, some of these are using the pre-1934 (i.e. pre-Turkish Surname Law/pre-Turkish alphabet reform) form, "Yakub Kadri" without a surname. The proposed title is over 15 times more common in Google web searches as well, although most of these are Turkish-language sites. My conclusion after weighing this evidence is to go with the more orthographically correct version, which also appears to be the more common form. —  AjaxSmack  19:44, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
