thread_title:  rename 

message: According to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#General guidelines an alternative foreign name can be present in the lead if it's "used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place". None of that applies to Polish Borysów. --80.193.31.89 (talk) 16:22, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Belarus was not part of Congress Poland, but of Great Duchy of Lithuania within a union with Poland, and so far I haven't seen any evidence that Poles have ever formed a considerable part of the city's population. --glossologist (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I suggest the article name should be changed either for Barysaŭ or Borisov.
The former is the official transliteration of Belarusian Барысаў as adopted by the government and UN. It is on maps published in Belarus and on road signs. Tourists driving cars or booking train tickets will have to know this to find the town on the Belarusian Railway website. See also the Minsk metro map for the Барысаўскі Тракт station transliteration.
The latter form is the transliteration of the Russian Борісов. It is widely used too.
Barysaw reflects neither standards nor current usage.
