message: should be Gay under WP:RUS. Thoughts on what we should do? -- Y not be working? 22:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Em, he was not gay (Гей), but Guy (Гай). We may write it Gaii or like in Latin - Gaius, if ya' wish. Or, at least, Gai. I thought about that when I created this article and I insist on "Guy", because it's the closest spelling to Russian "Гай". --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 22:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  No! Gai is a road policy in Russia:) --Paukrus (talk) 08:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Then Gaii, it's not a road police.  --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 08:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  No! Gaii is Гаии. It's only coincidence. No any assotiation for "гей".--Paukrus (talk) 09:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Gaii or Gaius is Latin, learn Latin. Gay is Гей. Dot. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 10:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

text:  Гай=Gay. Г=G, А=A, Й=Y. Learn Russian Language. Sorry for assotiations with homosexualism. --Paukrus (talk) 05:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Convention matters. Not insulting our subject matters as well. Can anyone show how Severin spelled his name in English while he was living? -- Y not be working? 05:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  See on the NPP Zvezda official site. If this is still not enough, you can try to search his name in the records of IAA. Also, see here. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 06:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

text:  With some time lag, his obituary will surely be on the IAA web site. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 06:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

text:  Why Leonid Gaidai (Гайдай)? It should be "Gay Day" then... I repeatedly insist, that his name should spell in English as Guy or at least Gai. Like Guy Hamilton. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 08:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I am now convinced that notwithstanding WP:RUS, we should have him under Guy because that is how he spelled his own name in English. -- Y not be working? 15:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
