Giya or Gia?

Re this page move: In my experience it's always been Giya, but I'm no Kancheliomane so it may be more often seen as Gia. Maybe we need to discuss this to get some consensus. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 08:58, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Per

WP:UCN, this page should be moved back to "Giya Kancheli". Toccata quarta (talk) 09:15, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

Because his name is Gia not Giya.

According to whom? You?

How come Giya appears wherever one cares to look?

For reference, Google produces these results:

"Giya Kancheli": 176,000

"Gia Kancheli": 32,500. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 13:22, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He is a Georgian composer and his name is Giorgi or shortly Gia. Giya is a russified name where Russians are using ya on ia endings. For example surname

Again, GeorgianJorjadze, you're using yourself as the authority here. No offence, but that just won't do. Please provide some independent verification that every single one of those 176,000 google hits is incorrectly spelt. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 04:36, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am saying that this person is Georgian, born in Georgia and his name is Gia not Giya. His name as Giya was used through Russian sources and that is why. His name is Gia (გია).

I've moved the page back to "Giya Kancheli" as this is the spelling normally used in English language contexts. --Deskford (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

To me, "Giya" is the normal and familiar spelling out in the real world.

Please move this page to Gia Kancheli, Giya is absolutely incorrect form. what type of sources need:))) very funny situation. sometimes i think that English speaking world is mostly Illiterate--Gaga.vaa (talk) 18:13, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned almost seven years ago, the name of the article is in line with

personal attacks involving accusations of illiteracy. Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply
