Talk:Gurgaon

Failed move to Gurugram

Previous move discussions have failed, and I have chosen to simply remove the request from WP:RM/TR in Special:Diff/1213690414 as I do not think that the WP:COMMONNAME has changed from Gurgaon to Gurugram, and starting yet another requested move would likely lead to more oppose votes. See also #Official name is Gurugram above.

So, will the common name ever change to Gurugram? An optimist (glass is half full) would answer "Yes, eventually", while a pessimist (glass is half empty) would answer "No, never". The default answer (in the absence of any evidence) is the pessimistic one, so the common name would remain as Gurgaon for all eternity.

Template:Ping Thanks. Looks like some users (new and ones with POV) do not want to participate in the process of WP:RM discussions and sneakily post requests at WP:RM/TR. I've seen atleast 2 articles getting changed like that despite the common name still being older name. Thanks for taking care of this one. Isn't it disruptive, especially when the user tried it twice [1] [2]? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Renamed from Gurgaon to Gurugram

The official name of Gurgaon was changed to Gurugram by the government of Haryana in 2016. Let me know if you need references for the same. Piyush09ranjannn (talk) 12:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

It depends on the WP:COMMONNAME, and "Gurgaon" still is the common name, has more hits. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

How do we know about this? Is there a place to check? Pur 0 0 (talk) 13:35, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
