Rename of Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar railway station

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Sort of a procedural close per parent title Talk:Aurangabad#Requested move 28 December 2025 being closed as not moved. The request also seems LLM-generated, allowing a close per WP:HATGPT and WP:Village pump (policy)/Archive 207#LLM/AI generated proposals?

Aurangabad railway stationChhatrapati Sambhajinagar Railway station – To clarify, the official renaming of Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has been completed through due legal process by Indian Railways and the station itself. However, I understand that Wikipedia is not a government publication and is not legally bound to adopt official names immediately. Wikipedia’s article titles are governed by WP:COMMONNAME, which prioritizes the name most commonly used in reliable, independent English-language sources, rather than official or legal status alone. For this reason, I am not asserting that Wikipedia is required to rename the article at this time, nor that it would be violating any law by retaining the title “Aurangabad”. My intention in raising this discussion is to:

Ensure the lead section accurately reflects the current official and legal name

Present verifiable information supported by high-quality secondary sources

Allow community consensus to determine whether and when a page move would be appropriate, based on evolving common usage.

I fully respect that a page move should only occur if consensus supports it under WP:COMMONNAME, and I am open to waiting until usage in reliable English-language sources more clearly favors “Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar”. Globetrotter30 (talk) 11:16, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, doesn't seem to be the COMMONNAME just yet. Thanks, Glasspalace (talk • contribs) 14:25, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It is used as the official station name. It is also on the station board and used by the Indian Railways. Globetrotter30 (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Glasspalace @Jay10092006 I understand that. However, Indian Railways, Times Of India refer to the station as Chhatrapati Sambajhinagar station and it has recieved a new railway station code as well. Globetrotter30 (talk) 14:33, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
