: No! They are NOT the same.

: What IS needed is to edit the page '''Kemeny-Young Maximum Likelihood Method''' to point out that it has two other names, namely '''Condorcet-Kemeny''' and '''VoteFair popularity ranking'''.

: In other words, the word "popularity" is a very important qualifier. It distinguishes between '''VoteFair ranking''' and '''VoteFair popularity ranking'''.

: For reference, the Wikipedia page named '''Kemeny-Young method''' has the correct info. However that title was chosen by Markus Shulze who dislikes the '''Kemeny''' method because it so closely competes with "his" method, so he made a point not to include the word Condorcet, and instead included the less-important name "Young".
