The hate against Kannada and Bengaluru has gone too far now

I don't understand why Bengaluru's wiki page and RCB's wiki page is not allowed to be renamed. Absolutely shameless that even reliable sources and official government sites also have renamed. Mongers want the colonial name to suppress Kannada.

I protest against the behaviour of these haters and politely request you "social warriors" to rename the above 2 articles ASAP.

Thank you Indigoball (talk) 18:14, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't you read the big green box? It comes under WP:TOOSOON. The change will happen eventually in 2-3 years, just not now.

Besides, if you don't like the colonial name, why are you reading the colonial language? Each language's words are created according to the convenience of the speakers of that language. Bangalore is easier and less funny to read for English speakers. Similarly Bengaluru is easier for Kannada speakers. Pur 0 0 (talk) 11:56, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another hater here. I remember Kings XI Punjab being renamed to Punjab Kings and that move happened within a year (I don't know exactly when). What's the problem with Bengaluru? I thought wikipedia uses official names but people here like what is more commonly used. Too soon it seems. It's been more than 6 months. Bangalore was officially renamed like a decade ago. But "TOO SOON" :) Indigoball (talk) 16:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maintain WP:CIVIL. "people here like what is more commonly used" ← Not people but policy. Are you a sock? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:31, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 27 November 2024

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: moved. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 10:05, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Challengers Bangalore → Royal Challengers Bengaluru – During the Bangalore → Bengaluru move, it was noted that one of the only sources to stick with "Bangalore" past October 2023 was The Gleaner, which only talks about the city in relation to the IPL team. On my talk page after I closed that RM as successful, I noted that since RCB's name change in March this year, The Gleaner seem to have switched (March, May, October)

After being pinged regarding the aforementioned RM at WP:RMTR, I noticed a similar move request that should be pro forma but, due to a previous unsuccessful request, the full RM process needs to be gone through. I contend that the combination of WP:CONSISTENT (with the city), WP:TITLEVAR (the predominant term in Indian English), and WP:NAMECHANGES (sources use the new name more since March: Bengaluru vs. Bengalore) means this move should be relatively uncontroversial.

Comment: RCB's official page on IPLT20 websites hyperlink is https://www.iplt20.com/teams/royal-challengers-bangalore; so the old name is still used in the hyperlink of homepage in official IPLT20 website. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 06:56, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per reasons mentioned by Sceptre — Manthara^talk 16:22, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, as the main page has changed from Bangalore to Bengaluru recently. - Herodyswaroop (talk) 09:23, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The logo also has Bengaluru written in it and so do all sources now. As such if anyone really tries searching Bangalore, they will be redirected here and read the opening statement anyway. Besides, who's gonna get confused by just 3 alphabets when the pronunciation is roughly the same? Pur 0 0 (talk) 14:30, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support : RCB has officially changed 'Bangalore' to 'Bengaluru' in it's official website[1], twitter page[2], Facebook page[3] and Instagram page[4]. It should be changed in Wikipedia too. Sachin126 (talk) 17:28, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One sided, Unprofessional mentions.

Need to correct these two aspects- 1. Rivalry with CSK excludes wins against CSK and only mentions about a single finals face-off, while rivalry with others are detailed out. RCB eliminated CSK in semis of 2009 edition, was reason for CSK's elimination in 2024 edition and a big win margin in Chepauk in 2025 edition, since when CSK has had multiple losses. Same type of mentions are made to RCB about their lost opportunities against SRH, but not about CSK against RCB. 2. Rivalry with SRH section was perhaps written by a hater who goes on to say SRH "humiliated" by scoring 287, while there was a great response of 262 and almost closed on the target. On similar lines, we do not see mention of word "humiliation for SRH" on their wiki page, even where they were truly outplayed at home and succumbed to 80 run defeat recently, and also had scored a paltry 113 in the finals. The narrow win margins in both of Hyderabad's title victories over RCB (by 6 runs, 8 runs) is deliberately kept out, while there is clearly mention about high score 287.
