== City renamed to "Dnipro". ==
On May 19, 2016 the Ukrainian parliament renamed the city to "Dnipro" (http://www.unian.info/politics/1349664-dnipropetrovsk-renamed-dnipro.html), as part of a "decommunization drive". Should the article title reflect this? - [[User:Toothswung|Toothswung]] ([[User talk:Toothswung|talk]]) 09:02, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
: per [[WP:MODERNPLACENAME]] "For articles discussing the present, use the modern English name (or local name, if there is no established English name), rather than an older one." Dnipropetrovsk would work in the appropriate historical context, but as of May 19 the official name is Dnipro and so far, there is no 2016 scholarship or journalism to fall back on (though it's safe to say journalism will follow suit, and Google Maps and other sources of that nature have a precedent of following the new names quickly). --'''''BLACK FUTURE''''' <small>([[User talk:Black Future|tlk2meh]])</small> 14:07, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
* There have been some reverts to keep "Dnipro" entirely out of the lede of the article and this really shouldn't fly. Regardless how we handle the article title, the new name is the official name and needs to be in the introduction. --'''''BLACK FUTURE''''' <small>([[User talk:Black Future|tlk2meh]])</small> 14:14, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

:::Until page is move, the lead should reflect the article name. <i style="font-family:Sans-serif">[[User:Qed237|<b style="color:blue">Qed</b><b style="color:red">237</b>]] [[User talk:Qed237|<b style="color:green">(talk)</b>]]</i> 14:44, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:::: Kyiv's article is still Kiev, but it still includes both names in the lede and all pertinent information on the alt names for readers. No reason to remove facts from the intro, even though we're deciding on how to handle the article title separately --'''''BLACK FUTURE''''' <small>([[User talk:Black Future|tlk2meh]])</small> 14:52, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::Two completely different situations, that is about spelling, this is about the actual name. Lead should reflect article title until page is moved per wikipedia guidelines. <i style="font-family:Sans-serif">[[User:Qed237|<b style="color:blue">Qed</b><b style="color:red">237</b>]] [[User talk:Qed237|<b style="color:green">(talk)</b>]]</i> 14:56, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::: Your reverts were very uncool. If it was about which name goes first in the lede, change that, or focus on the infobox, but don't just undo everything otherwise it just looks poor form. --'''''BLACK FUTURE''''' <small>([[User talk:Black Future|tlk2meh]])</small> 15:23, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
Just found a little tidbit, but the official new Russian spelling is now also Dnipro (Днипро) [http://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2016/05/19/7108971/] so no alt spellings needed--'''''BLACK FUTURE''''' <small>([[User talk:Black Future|tlk2meh]])</small> 14:48, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
why can't you dumbasses understand there's no such city named dnipropetrovsk anymore? <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/87.17.168.60|87.17.168.60]] ([[User talk:87.17.168.60|talk]]) 11:48, 24 May 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
I live here, and at the moment composing my CV, so I'd like to think, that my possible employer abroad can google the city, and at the moment "Dnipro" refers to a football club, rather than city. Frustrating. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/91.231.54.8|91.231.54.8]] ([[User talk:91.231.54.8|talk]]) 06:59, 21 July 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
