The U.S. Board on Geographic Names sets U.S. government usage in geography. The atlases and gazetteers generally get the names they use from BGN, although they may adjust them to fit their house styles. The “conventional” name is the name BGN deems suitable for English language usage. The “approved” name is the official name in the local language (or official Romanization if the local script is non-Latin). Although I used the chart to focus on difficult cases, it is common for all the references, including Wikipedia, to be in agreement, as you can see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prolog/Diacritical_marks here]. In other words, the way editors currently determine article titles is much closer to the proposed method than to the GBook counting approach.
