I have shown evidence that the proposal “is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources),” and it is the “single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources” as the policy asks.
Who says what is not enough? Please show your evidence.
IMO the community can choose to zero time or plenty of time on this, since it’s a volunteer project, so I don’t understand that objection. You’re implying we mustn’t initiate tasks that K.e.coffman feels obligated to participate in but doesn’t want to.
Which of these in your view will require an acceptable amount of time for the community?:
I withdraw the batch RM and start 20 individual ones?
I withdraw the batch RM and start one for every single Moscow Journal/Russian-language journal/Slavic-language journal/journal?
Renaming articles on journals to improve their titles is always unacceptable?
I did not mean to denigrate your contributions; I'm sorry that my post came across this way. I meant to suggest that having multiple discussions in parallel, on exactly the same topic -- spelling and capitalisation for obscure Russian-language periodicals, for which COMMONNAME may or may not exist -- is repetitive. It would be better to wait for the close on the group RM. I commented further there:
[10]. My opinion on this RM remains unchanged. --

Thank you.
As far as I can tell, there are periodicals with COMMONNAME titles that happen to correspond to WP:RUS and ones that don’t, and ones that correspond to multiple or practically all schemes (e.g., Okno). Like personal and place names, there may or may not be a most common romanization standard for all Russian-language periodicals, or for 19th-c periodicals (likely ALA-LC since that is how periodicals are catalogued), but there will certainly never be complete consistency in all relevant articles. So we will keep RMing them individually to establish stable titles.
I see the group RM as a convenience exercise, to do 20 similar nineteenth-century ones at once. Not some precedent-setter or institutionalization of any new guideline. Plenty of titles were renamed previously, and plenty more are likely to be renamed in the future, without regard to waiting for one (or 20) to conclude before starting another.
