District renamed from 'Karimganj' to 'Sribhumi'

Well, while the district renaming has been announced through various news channel, social media, and official X handle of CMO, there is no confirmation that, the district rename has been passed officially. I request editor's to wait. (edit) Jor langneh (Talk) 17:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jor.langneh: Hi, have a look at this article. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Unfortunately I couldn't read the link as it is behind a pay wall ~~requires a subscription~~. I checked other news, i could only find "..Cabinet has fulfilled.." as the only worthy for confirmation, but not sure what it really mean. I suggest we wait for another 24 hours, for more clarification from official channel (edit). Jor langneh (Talk) 17:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Fylindfotberserk. Rename has been officially done. Alongwith the headquarter of the same district. ( https://www.indiatvnews.com/north-east/assam/assam-govt-issues-notification-on-renaming-karimganj-district-to-sribhumi-himanta-biswa-sarma-latest-updates-2024-11-21-962740 ) Jor langneh (Talk) 06:05, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jor.langneh: Do a proper move request as guided in WP:RM here. Do not do unilateral or cut-paste moves like you did at the district article. It is disruptive and blockable. Cut-paste moves remove the history of the article. You are an experienced user, you should know that. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: Thanks for the direction. TBH I wasn't aware of the page request feature. Jor langneh (Talk) 11:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Karimganj district → Sribhumi district – The district has been renamed, and notified to public through Official X channel. (News1) Jor langneh (Talk) 11:27, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Too soon as of now. Karimganj/Karimganj district is still the WP:COMMONNAME. Also see WP:OFFICIAL. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: "Karimganj" remains the WP:COMMONNAME as it is widely used in official, historical, and geographical contexts. While "Sribhumi" reflects the recent renaming. Wikipedia prioritizes the most recognizable name for articles to ensure clarity and accessibility. Aryan^{Talk} 17:29, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The actual name of the article should be Sribhumi district. I am a resident of the town since 2000, Sribhumi is actually the WP:COMMONNAME. Not only the town but also most of the people in the district used to refer 'Sribhumi' instead of 'Karimganj'. Earlier, before the renaming, Sribhumi was the WP:COMMONNAME and 'Karimganj' was the WP:OFFICIAL. Now, both the WP:COMMONNAME and the WP:OFFICIAL name is 'Sribhumi'. - User:Goswami21 (talk) 20:40, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- You are confusing district name with town name. *Wikipedia doesn't accept first source (here which is you). They have to be confirmed through news article. *All in good time.
Jor langneh (Talk) 22:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that "Sribhumi" is the WP:COMMONNAME lacks evidence and relies on anecdotal references. Being a local resident does not validate the claim, as WP:COMMONNAME requires widespread usage in reliable sources like government records and media. Without proof that "Sribhumi" is more widely used than "Karimganj" beyond local contexts, the argument does not meet Wikipedia's naming criteria. Aryan^{Talk} 02:19, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
