[http://aviation-safety.net/database/airport/airport.php?id=dnk Aviation-Safety website for Dnepropetrovsk Airport] uses the English language "Dnepropetrovsk Airport"--[[User:Toddy1|Toddy1]] 20:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:That may very well be so. But we have to come up with a universal criterion. Are you suggesting it to be dating sites? Or should the Wikipedia usage be determined by "Aviation-Safety website for Dnepropetrovsk Airport"? I don't have any better suggestion than to follow the major media. I analyzed their usage above and they seem to use Dnipropetrovsk. --[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] 22:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
The issue of naming is deeply political. There are parallels with Yugoslavia.
Where English language media have people based in Kiev, it is inevitable that they will use the Kiev name for places, where they are not aware of an accepted English language name.
Your various references to Wikpedia guidelines would seem to suggest that the guidlines need modification.--[[User:Toddy1|Toddy1]] 23:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
