Election results

Is this (the template) in the scope of the article? I am confused.--Challengethelimits (talk) 11:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Old name

Was the former name Corporation of Madras or Madras Corporation? My Birth Certificate says Corporation of Madras in English and Chennai Maanagaratchi in Tamil. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:50, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was Corporation of Madras. Further, I think, the current official name is Corporation of Chennai. Chennai corporation appears to be a casual translation of Chennai Maanagaratchi. --Anbu121 (talk me) 09:09, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Even the website says Corporation of Chennai, should we move it? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:24, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right now, I have mentioned it as official name in the lead. Mentions in reliable sources(books, newspapers) need to be analyzed whether to move or not per WP:COMMONNAME. --Anbu121 (talk me) 09:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly a reliable source, but this is what I used for my assumptions. http://twitpic.com/bn9mod --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:56, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Name again

Why is this article located at Chennai Corporation, when it should be Corporation of Chennai? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 04:29, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The new name according to the TN govt., as changed on 30/01/2016 is Greater Chennai Corporation and has been changed to effect this. (Aditya.cr (talk) 13:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Merge - Both the articles are basically the same. However, the person performing the merger should ensure all the info from both the pages are included on the unified page. Nirinsanity 12:22, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Merge - It is better to merge both the articles . Prempalay 22.01, 27 July 2016
