As far as I know, the Dutch spelling should be Loekasjenko, not Lukashenko.

We should be careful. Many of these words should be multi-word terms. Example: Hotspur probably should be Tottenham Hotspur (a football club).

You are right. That is why I did not any myself.

There are no official translitteration rules for names.

Do you mean that neither the Netherlands nor Belgium uses any rules for transliteration? Then I see no point at all in adding words to a dictionary. When you follow no rules, no check is possible.

There are rules for common words, not for proper names. There is some advice on translitteration, but just advice.

The thing is: Many users are happy if we give them advice, especially if the rules are unclear. We could find a standard reference and say “the common spelling is”. I have looked on onzetaal.nl, woorden.org and nl.wikipedia.org and I get the impression that “Loekasjenko” and “Poetin” are way more common than “Lukashenko” or “Putin”.
