Why "Petrosian" and not "Petrosyan?"

Per https://www.chess.com/member/tigranlpetrosyan, Tigran has always stylized his name as Petrosyan. I thought for BLP we are supposed to respect the subject's desires on matters like their name foremost. My tightness (talk) 03:37, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I thought that "Petrosian" and "Petrosyan" are both used as romanisations of Պետրոսյան, though I should say my knowledge of language is limited. Sources including FIDE use "Petrosian". If "Petrosyan" is widely used or preferred by the subject then it could be mentioned in the first sentence as an alternate name or as a replacement for "Petrosian", but we'd need sources better than a username on a chess website. — Bilorv (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
