UN naming standards have their place, but the wiki world saw a huge debate around 2003 about article names and it's generally best to keep them titled according to the everyday name. Even "Kyiv" for "Kiev" took a long time to get approval. "Homiel" is nowhere near as common in English literature as "Gomel".

I think that in English literature both "Homiel" and "Gomel" are so rare that it's no point to make a problem out of it. I don't even speak about some smaller towns. I don't support the idea to change Belarusian names with to their Russian equivalents.
