Change the main subject name from Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Change the subject name from Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar as it's renamed, we don't need formar name as the subject name. You can mention the formar name (Aurangabad)in the description. Shreyashmali100 (talk) 06:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

 * sigh - We obviously know that, as the first line states "officially known as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar also spelt Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar" What we won't be doing in the near future is changing the name of our article, as we use the WP:COMMONNAME in English, not the WP:OFFICIALNAME.

 * The last consensus, a few months back, was a no-move. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:37, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * No move? Cmon modder, if its official then what move are u talking about? Consensus doesn't matter, the change is official and u have the requested reference, there's no denying in that, if you don't want to change on the basis of facts, ur choice buddy. 117.245.74.235 (talk) 21:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The article clearly states Aurangabad officially known as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar To claim "Consensus doesn't matter" just shows you don't understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wikipedia is a world-wide encyclopaedia, and, although we include them, we do not follow Official names. The Commonname, which all our articles are based on, may eventually change over time, we still don't use Bengaluru (changed in 2006), and I doubt we will ever use Wien, Osterreich - although all of these are the official names - Arjayay (talk) 21:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * What's the point of having consensus when modders reject the legitimate request of user with "reliable source" also Wikipedia policy clearly states that * Not contradict each other. The community's view cannot simultaneously be "A" and "not A". When apparent discrepancies arise between pages, editors at all the affected pages should discuss how they can most accurately represent the community's current position and correct all the pages to reflect the community's view. This discussion should be on one talk page, with invitations to that page at the talk pages of the various affected pages; otherwise, the corrections may still contradict each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines#Content_changes 117.245.74.235 (talk) 21:23, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

please change "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar" to "Aurangabad"

The article says "Aurangabad officially known as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar" but it is officially "Aurangabad". Please refer court order in NEWS artcile below:

1.It’s Aurangabad for now, says HC: https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/bombay-hc-restrains-use-of-chhatrapati-sambhaji-nagar-as-aurangabad-s-new-name-in-official-communication-pending-petition-decision-101682362577949.html

2. Status quo on Aurangabad name-change continues till Bombay HC verdict https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/status-quo-on-aurangabad-name-change-continues-till-bombay-hc-verdict-123051700359_1.html

Some anti-social elements are trying to change it name. I would request you to revert it back to "Aurangabad".
