On the face of it, that's an excellent reason to keep the article
right where it is.

That's why the article on the capital of Ukraine is at [[Kiev]] rather
than [[Kyuv]]. The Ukraine government even states "Kyuv" is its
official name in English, but people who speak English keep
overwhelmingly using "Kiev."

If you want to move it, you need some good sources that actually use
the name you advocate. Are there any?
