Improved to Good Article status by Kpddg (talk). Self-nominated at 11:54, 14 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: I added some citation needed tags in places that were missing a citation, which need to be resolved. Earwig did detect some copyright concerns, but I think the other sites copied from Wikipedia. Z1720 (talk) 18:20, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720, this was discussed in the GA review as well. Each statement (like XYZ is a franchise based on the city) has its own article , so it was considered WP:BLUE. Kpddg (talk) 10:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at the statements, and I would not consider them WP:BLUE. Furthermore, BLUE is an essay, which means it is "the opinion or advice of an editor or group of editors for which widespread consensus has not been established." (WP:POLICIES). Since DYK articles appear on the Main Page, there are stricter rules about what needs to be in the articles, and thus these statements will need citations to conform to WP:V. Z1720 (talk) 13:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the citations Kpddg (talk) 14:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding the citations. This is approved, with a preference for ALT0. Z1720 (talk) 14:35, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Kpddg (talk) 15:12, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 21 March 2024

[edit]
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. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 16:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bangalore → Bengaluru – Bengaluru is a more commonly called name. It has been almost a decade since the official name change. Today, most of the media houses uses the name Bengaluru. Both state and central governments have completely changed the name of Bangalore to Bengaluru wherever necessary. Even most multi-national corporations and organizations refer to it as Bengaluru. So it is important that this page (Bangalore) be renamed or moved to Bengaluru, per WP:COMMONNAME. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:43, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Right from government-purposes to several multi-national organizations situated in the city have been using the name Bengaluru. It has been a decade, since the name got changed. Sports franchises which are based in the city like Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Bengaluru FC, etc. are using the name Bengaluru. You can do a simple search on the internet, every news agency uses Bengaluru, from the national to the state media, everyone are using the word Bengaluru. Railway stations, airports, refer the city as Bengaluru[1]. Culuturally, Bengaluru is familiar among the public. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: You haven't provided evidence for any of your statements. Please note that, without evidence, this move request is likely to be speedily closed. RegentsPark (comment) 17:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For context for RegentsPark's comment, I said in the June closure: "This is the thirteenth move request[ proposing this move....] While this has not been so frequent as to necessitate a WP:MORATORIUM, future move requests without substantial evidence should be speedily closed." Those previous requested moves are listed at the top of the page. SilverLocust 💬 18:14, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 12:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for lack of any actual evidence. Wikipedia is a world-wide encyclopedia; people in India know about the changes, and may have changed their usage, but we need evidence that the majority of people over the whole world have changed their common usage to Bengaluru. - Arjayay (talk) 12:48, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Bangalore is still more common, and also more natural looking and sounding to English speakers. DieOuTransvaal (talk) 19:36, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The second part is completely irrelevant, particularly as English is widely spoken in India. AusLondonder (talk) 15:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would be inclined to support if sufficient evidence on usage is provided. Per WP:TIES we should use the name most common in Indian English usage. AusLondonder (talk) 20:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural speedy close: The same proposed renaming has been rejected in 13 previous formal RMs. The last one was less than a year ago, and nothing dramatic has happened since then and the nominator has not put hardly any effort into providing more substantial evidence than was previously considered. Please give it a rest for a few years before trying this again. We shouldn't have to keep repeating this discussion this often. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. No evidence this has become the common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. No evidence for common name has been presented in the opening comment. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, no evidence provided for WP:COMMONNAME by WP:NAMECHANGES. Would possibly support if that is provided. DankJae 21:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are we using an outdated colonial spelling of the name?

[edit]

Should we rename the articles for Bombay and Calcutta as well? 192.34.130.239 (talk) 16:47, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The official name is Bengaluru. The article should be moved. Mantharatalk 18:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to edit climate of bengaluru.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 04:43, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Highest temperature ever recorded in Bengaluru is 41.8°c at Kengeri on April 30, 2024

Record high temperature in May is 41.1°c.

No source for Mega City

[edit]

The population crossed 10 million in bangalore and hyderabad but there is no official census after 2011. Statista un reliable source for Bangalore and Hyderabad. There is no official data after 2011 census in Indian citites, so only 3 cities qualify as Mega cities Delhi, Mumbai & Kolkata as on today.Ustadeditor2011 (talk) 10:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting move from Bangalore to Bengaluru

[edit]

Bangalore → Bengaluru – Hello, I would like to highlight a previously closed proposal to move the article from Bangalore to Bengaluru. The last discussion was closed due to lack of evidence. The official name of the city is Bengaluru and is also the common use.

Below are the evidences. As per WP:NAMECHANGES

As per WP:COMMONNAME

Please let me know if any more evidence needs to be provided. Mantharatalk 19:15, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
