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, Kiev post is not one of them. I included on major papers in my analysis and they still lean towards Dnipropetrovsk. However, I am tired of this. If you are so interested in the city, please spend some time expanding the content of the article. If, however, you are still committed to push for the name change, I suggest you reread Wikipedia naming conventions, do the usage analysis, make the best argument you can and submit it for [[WP:RM]]. I made my points very clrearly and the main one is that Dnipropetrovsk is the prevailing usage of modern ''major'' media and by the Britannica. If you want to continue still, take it to [[WP:RM]]. --[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] 20:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
