Changing the subject name

Recently the district name formarly known as (Aurangabad) was changed as (Sambhajinagar) by Government of India, then I urge to change the subject name as Sambhajinagar. Shreyashmali100 (talk) 09:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That was the city, not the district — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmurravi Can't be done through a edit request. The new name is added in the lead. As per WP:COMMONNAME to replace it you have to gain consensus by initiating a discussion on this talk page. Shaan SenguptaTalk 15:00, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source does not support anything

The following source is cited to support the nominal gross domestic product for Aurangabad district in the infobox:

Records, Official. "nominal gross district Domestic Product of Maharashtra 2019-20". economy Department, Government of Maharashtra, India. Maharashtra Vidhanmanda. Archived from the original on 8 August 2022. Retrieved 29 June 2022.

But the link is just to the front page of the Maharashtra Legislature's website. A far more specific link is required.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:17, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chaange of the Page Name

I think so the name of the page should be changed to Chatrapati Sambhajinagar. There is nothing wrong. The name is officially changed. But it is not changed on Wikipedia. Mahusha 14:45, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia uses the WP:COMMONNAME, not the WP:OFFICIALNAME. Hence Aurangabad is used. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then why Allahabad page name is changed to Prayagraj. Prayagraj is also official name. Allahabad is common name. Mahusha (talk) 15:19, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was probably a mistake, or at least premature. These politically-inspired name changes take rather a long time to become the norm. Johnbod (talk) 17:17, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything is not politically motivated. Mahusha (talk) 07:49, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mahusha: The Allahabad → Prayagraj move took years and multiple consensus. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 1 January 2026

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 district, Maharashtra → Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar DistrictChhatrapati Sambhajinagar District – To clarify, the official renaming of Aurangabad District to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar District has been completed through due legal process by the High Court, Ministry for Home Affairs, and the Maharashtra government. 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) 14:49, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It is necessary to do so, and I am waiting on editors to respond. @Jay10092006 Globetrotter30 (talk) 14:59, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
