Google hits if even sorted by year are not as reliable as media search. However, the opinion of the residents of the non-anglophone city is even less relevant to determine the English usage as most residents actually do not speak English. Modern English usage is set by major media and, yes, [[Kyiv Post]] is not one of them. I included on major papers from US, Canada, UK, Australia, etc. in my analysis and they still lean towards Dnipropetrovsk. [http://web.lexis.com/xchange/ccsubs/viewfullMajorPapers.asp Here] is the list of the papers, LexisNexis consider "major". I know of no other tool that allows to restrict the media search only to really important media.
However, I am tired of this. If you are so interested in the city, please spend some time expanding the content of the article rather than on this endless arguing. If, however, you are so committed to push for the name change, and my arguments did not convince you, I suggest you reread Wikipedia naming conventions, do the usage analysis, make the best argument you can and submit it for [[WP:RM]].
