Enver Mammadov → Enver Mamedov — The article was renamed from Enver Mamedov to Enver Mammadov as part of somebody's global move campaign. I don't know the Azeri language, and trust the original "mover" that Mammadov is indeed the proper spelling for that surname in that language. The person indeed was born in Azerbaijan, spent the first 20 years of his life there, and was literate in the country's language (presumably, a native speaker), as his highs school transcript attests. Nonetheless, he spent virtually all of his adult career in Moscow or on assignments abroad, as a diplomat and a media executive, working mostly in Russian and in Western languages; apparently the Russianized spelling "Mamedov" was the spelling he (and the agency he worked for) in fact used in English (whether by choice or due to the employer's policies). Accordingly, he seems to appear in English- (or French-)language literature, such as there is, exclusively as "Mamedov": on Google Books, News Archives.
