Results from Google:
Gishi: 5,490
Kiş: 5,440. Also listed as "Gishi" on a Soviet-era topographic map:
[1]
Be aware that many results on Google regarding "Kiş"/"Kish", despite adding "Karabakh" tag to the search, refers to the village of "
Kiş, Shaki" and the "
Church of Kish" outside of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Regarding the ", Nagorno-Karabakh" disambiguation tag: "Nagorno-Karabakh" is a well established and the accepted term for the region and used by the majority of UN states when referring to the region. Using the common name for a geographic region, or an autonomous region, as well as when it's in dispute, as a disambiguation tag is standard on Wikipedia - a couple of examples:
Copceac, Gagauzia,
Gaidar, Gagauzia,
Tomai, Gagauzia,
Ocnița, Transnistria,
Rotari, Transnistria,
Mitrovica, Kosovo,
Kamenica, Kosovo. This formulation was also favored on a past relevant
move discussion for the town of Martuni in Nagorno-Karabakh (Khojavend → Martuni, Nagorno-Karabakh).
Support - per my belief that settlement names in Karabakh should reflect the name used by the majority ethnic population in 1988. --
