Chittagong Division → Chattogram Division – New official name. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:40, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion should probably take place somewhere more central, like Talk:Chittagong, since there were at least a dozen pages that were similarly boldly moved this week. Dekimasuよ! 04:54, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because various pages with Chittagong, Barisal, Bogra, Comilla, and Jessore in their titles are in play, consider the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bangladesh#Placename changes and Wikipedia policy. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:26, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. But doubtless won't be the common name for many years. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:29, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Chattogram Division

I'm moving the page from Chittagong to Chattogram as it is the official name by the government of Bangladesh and also locally used most and according to Google trends Chattogram is the most used name. I am moving according to WP:COMMONNAME Therealbey (talk) 00:39, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Therealbey: You are welcome to propose such a move, but there is an existing consensus to use Chittagong, so your unilateral move is controversial and a discussion needs to reach a new consensus before any move is made. Because multiple articles are involved (Chittagong, Chittagong District, Chittagong Division, ...) I recommend that you start the discussion somewhere more central than here. I've moved this page back to the stable name, Chittagong Division, for now.

Google Trends can provide insight into general trends in search terms, but must must be interpreted with care. For one thing, it treats "Chittagong" as a search term and "Chattogram" as a topic, and measures the two differently, so it's an apples-to-oranges comparison. For another, it deals with search terms, not usage in reliable sources. WP:COMMONNAME is determined by prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable sources--Worldbruce (talk) 14:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
