Danapur Cantonment → ? – The article is called Dinapur Cantonment but the talk page is called Talk:Danapur Cantonment. Either the article or the talk page should be renamed so that the page titles match, but I don't know what the correct spelling is. The article and {{Patna Division}} also use varying spelling.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move though the possibility should be discussed more. (non-admin closure) — Dicklyon (talk) 04:24, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dinapur Cantonment → Danapur Cantonment – Some sources say that the name is Danapur, some sources say that it is Dinapur. In the article, the Devanagari form transcribes as "dānāpur kyānţōnmēnţ"; but in the Arabic alphabet form the only vowel sign is a kasra under the initial "d", thus showing "Dināp...". Google Earth shows "Danapur". Geohack shows "Dinapur". And change "Danapur" to "Dinapur" or vice-versa in the article. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:01, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This request is redundant to #Requested move 3 April 2016 above, which was closed without commenting on one of the two issues with the page title. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:16, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthony Appleyard:, I'm not exactly sure what you are arguing for here, or what the rationale is for the move... could you clarify please? Insert CleverPhrase Here 08:44, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The article uses inconsistent spelling: 'Dinapur' and 'Danapur'. It's unclear what the correct spelling is. The correct spelling should be identified. If it's the other spelling which is correct, then the article needs to be moved. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:00, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Someone who knows the area should go find which is correct. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:05, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- This is fair enough, but how is this rationale for a move request to Danapur Cantonment? Insert CleverPhrase Here 00:36, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - The article should be moved to that title if that title is the correct spelling. If that is the incorrect spelling, then changes need to be made elsewhere instead. In either case, something needs to be done, although it is unclear exactly what needs to be done. Since something needs to be done, listing this at WP:RM seems to be the best thing to do. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:45, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Change of article name

The correct name is Danapur Cantonment, even google does not acknowledge the name Dinapur Cantonment. I am not able to move the page as it says an article of the name 'Danapur Cantonment' is already present, but I cannot find any article with such name.
