Official status of name change
I don't believe that there's any difference in procedural requirements between changing the name of a town and a district. Unsurprisingly, https://faizabad.nic.in/ continues to use Faizabad district unlike Prayagraj district at https://allahabad.nic.in/. Then there's the issue of common name. So let's hold our horses here. Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 14:48, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Edit: UP government has officially updated the name of the district and now the name Ayodhya is in official use 

Please change name Avaidyamishra (talk) 11:19, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Please read my message above as well as WP:COMMONNAME. Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 11:20, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

The official website you mentioned above has now changed name of district from faizabad to Ayodhya, however url of the website is still the same...Since the name of distict is Ayodhya....so, either name of this page should be changed or it can be redirected to Ayodhya district page...thanks Thekkverma (talk) 10:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Edit: Now the official URL of UP government has been updated 

As explained above, we do NOT use the "official" name, we use the WP:COMMONNAME in English, which is Faizabad. As a comparison, we still have an article on Bangalore, NOT Bengaluru, despite the name changing "officially" in 2006. - Arjayay (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Common name is wrong, no one know faizabad, where as bangalore madras are all india known, looks like some mischievous attempt to not reflect changed name. Given only a single example of Bangalore is highly inadequate, as it only means a small change in way of pronunciation while as Ayodhya is a complete name change like in case of CHENNAI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.186.153.71 (talk) 15:09, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Looks like Leftist bias in not renaming this district,no one knows faizabad in world over, its ayodhya they know, it is really shameful that ideological orientation is making people get wrong information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2401:4900:3315:14C4:E145:B0F2:BACA:B181 (talk) 07:15, 10 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has its own set of rules. Name changes happen only when reliable independent third party English sources start addressing the new name. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:11, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit notice
An edit notice has been added to the article due to repeated changes to the name, contrary to COMMONNAME. Expiry: 24-Aug-2020. Mathglot (talk) 03:02, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Name is Incorrect
Currently Name of the District is Ayodhya as well as Name of division is also Ayodhya S.P.Verma (talk) 19:51, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * This is the English Wikipedia, and our articles are based on the common name in English as per the article title, not the official name. This name should be used throughout the article, other than a brief mention of the official name. We may, eventually, change the name, as we did at Mumbai, after about 10 years, but other articles, such as Bangalore are still under their "English" names, as this is what English readers recognize. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 20:05, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

The Name Should be changed to AYODHYA DISTRICT
since the official name has been changed from faizabad to ayodhya as well as the district magistrate and headquarters has also shifted to ayodhya ,the name of this page should be changed accordingly or should be redirected to AYODHYA DISTRICT page. the mentioned official link is also officially updated to the new name by the government of uttar pradesh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.255.251.226 (talk) 07:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Nope, WP:COMMONNAME applies. Check it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:53, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

It has always been commonly recognised as Ayodhya. So according to WP:COMMONNAME also it should be changed. HRH Bhanu (talk) 17:18, 12 April 2020 (UTC) Note this edit was actually by HRH Raj (talk)
 * And your reliable source for this claim is? - Arjayay (talk) 17:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

The name of the district has changed but you're still not changing it.This is disgusting. Ayodhya is largely recognisable, so changing the title of the article to Ayodhya district in accordance to WP:COMMONNAME shouldn't be a problem. Andiefreude19 (talk) 09:01, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Are you the same person as HRH Raj and IP 27.255.251.226? -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Updating the official name of the district
Till now the name of this page was not being changed citing reasons that official URL of website district is still the old one. Now Faizabad district has been officially renamed as Ayodhya district and it has been approved by government of Uttar Pradesh. The URL of official website of the district has also been changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazyboyanmol (talk • contribs) 09:03, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I do not think anybody has cited the URL as a reason for Faizabad district being the best name to use. You are arguing against a straw man.


 * Consensus is that the district and the division are called Faizabad, as per WP:COMMONNAME. -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:09, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Official name of faizabad is ayodhya.proof are papers.
Much more famous name too is ayodhya.ayodhya verdict,ayodhya dispute,ayodhya temple and main officialy its Ayodhya district now. Bubbleinocean (talk) 11:46, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Also todd1 had cited the url wen it was faizabad.nic.in now its renamed as ayodhya.nic.in so now you accept its ayodhya district.there is nothing like faizabad district.until and unless you want to make wikipedia a waste of information by writing fake details. Bubbleinocean (talk) 11:49, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Change title to Ayodhya district
Ayodhya is district name and Ayodhya is district headquarters of ayodhya district. Your should change name as Ayodhya district because Ayodhya is birth place of ShreeRam ,and people know mostly ayodhya. Everyone not know Faizabad name but ayodhya known everyone in world. Nov 2018 when district name change so you must change title of Wikipedia as write as Ayodhya District. Anurag S Tiwari (talk) 23:20, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Faizabad district → Ayodhya district – Requested under WP:NAMECHANGES Google Trends clearly show Ayodhya district is used far more than the former name: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=IN&q=Ayodhya%20district,Faizabad%20district As others have mentioned, officially renamed: https://ayodhya.nic.in/, https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/up-cabinet-approves-renaming-of-faizabad-as-ayodhya-allahabad-as-prayagraj/articleshow/66604547.cms

As under WP:NAMECHANGES when the name is changed, "we give extra weight to reliable sources written after the name change. If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match," here are some examples of usage of Ayodhya district (alone and in conjuction, such as "Ayodhya District Administration" by various news sources:

 * Oppose1a) Google basic search with quotes "faizabad district" yields 1,30,000 hits and for "ayodhya district" it yields 38,400 hits1b) Google 'news' search with "faizabad district" in the 'news tab' result 2,170 hit for it and for "ayodhya district" it gets 1,120 hits.2) There are many news agency articles (latest) using the term Faizabad district. Examples Business Today, Business Standard, News 18 Wire for example.3) The Google trends above only shows hits from India, so it is not an 'Worldwide' view, as it is required for the name change of an article. Not to mention, there is not a notable difference when the usage of both the terms are concerned except a spike in first week of August 2020. In my opinion there is still time. Also according to this excerpt from WP:NAMECHANGES → If, on the other hand, reliable sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established name, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, as described above in "Use commonly recognizable names".- Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:41, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * SUPPORTIf you go to worldwide Google Trends, "Ayodhya district" is substantially ahead of "faizabad district". Also, if you look at various points on the graph it shows "Ayodhya district" twice as searched or greater than "faizabad district". Even if you change the period from "past 12 months" to "past 30 days" or "past 90 days", Ayodhya district is ahead: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Ayodhya%20district,Faizabad%20districtOn the search results, these are all time search results. Not specifically post name change. As an example I went to Google news tab and compared the terms. In the past month (as of now) "Ayodhya district" had 12 results in the news tab: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ayodhya+district%22&tbas=0&tbs=qdr:m&tbm=nws&sxsrf=ALeKk01mXIyC7zszhoKz_84cRXxrYkBisg:1615029128309&ei=iGNDYIO_Ep3F4-EPmsWEmAM&start=0&sa=N&ved=0ahUKEwiDo_qrxJvvAhWd4jgGHZoiATM4ChDy0wMIRA&biw=1261&bih=1219&dpr=3 While in the past month "faizabad district" only had 4 results: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1261&bih=1219&tbs=qdr%3Am&tbm=nws&sxsrf=ALeKk02IUsAFT-_XwWdbTGBC8OD0VP_TUw%3A1615029351773&ei=Z2RDYK3fLu2F4-EP55um6AI&q=%22faizabad+district%22&oq=%22faizabad+district%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3...54328.56673.0.57176.9.9.0.0.0.0.451.1433.0j3j2j0j1.6.0....0...1c.1j4.64.psy-ab..3.1.450...0.0.wdLEHScp4FI Switching the date in the news tab from past month to past year, the large gap is still there.

 * Comment - WP:NAMECHANGES → If, on the other hand, reliable sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established name, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, as described above in "Use commonly recognizable names". still applies I believe. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:35, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh..we also need to see sources from the world over since the article is for worldwide viewership. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * From WP:NAMECHANGES directly: "If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match."And its clear "Ayodhya district" is routinely used by reliable sources since the name change. And far more in number than the usage of "faizabad district" Hindian1947 (talk) 11:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This → If, on the other hand, reliable sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established name, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, as described above in "Use commonly recognizable names" is the very sentence that follows the sentence you posted above. Reliable sources used the term Faizabad district after the name change, examples this, this this, this, this. Also we need non-Indian sources for verification as well. Wikipedia articles are for global audience. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:05, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Again, I've clearly states "Ayodhya district" is routinely used by reliable sources since the name change and significantly more in number than the usage of "faizabad district".

Faizabad district → Ayodhya district – i would like to attract your attention towards, WP:COMMONNAME which clearly states that common name should be used as title of article, so now the question is whether "ayodhya district" has become the common name or not. so i would like to give one proof, when we search "faizabad distict" in "news section" of google search, it shows almost 18000 results which is huge in itself but it become dwarf when compared to massive 92,000 results of "ayodhya district" clearly ayodhya district is more capable of being the title, but i know some of you might come and say, "but in (all) section ayodhya district has around 7,800,000 results which is lower than that of faizabad district's i.e around 11,300,000". i know this but according to wikipedia policies, wikipedia consider news, news papers, books as reliable sources not the google search. so if news section has almost 6 times difference then the name should be changed. so here we wil try to make a consensus. if i didn't get any valid counterpoints i will consider it as a "go ahead" to change name.thank you Followbrocode (talk) 10:50, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Faizabad district → Ayodhya district
 * Faizabad Bus Depot → Ayodhya Bus Depot
 * Support rename of Faizabad district- the name of Faizabad district was changed to Ayodhya district in 2018: Indian Express.Oppose the others: these words seem curiously similar to those of the blocked editors above, whose main concern seems to have been to change Faizabad to Ayodhya. Faizabad bus station is evidently in the city of Faizabad and not in the adjacent city of Ayodhya.  Faizabad Cantonment  appears to be correct; Faizabad Cantt is obviously in Faizabad (city) and not in Ayodhya (city).  Oculi (talk) 00:35, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * i agree with your points about Faizabad Cantonment and Faizabad Cantt, i think i missed that. But regarding the "Faizabad bus station", there are two bus station one in faizabad city and one in ayodhya city, and this wikipedia page is about the one in ayodhya city. someone has changed its address in the page, but the picture used in page is clearly of ayodhya bus depot not faizabad one. so i am changing the address in that page, and it would be appreciated if you support the "bus depot" move along with the district. Hindu108 (talk) 05:40, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The article about "Faizabad bus station" appears to have been hijacked. For goodness sake write an article about Ayodhya bus station in addition to the one about Faizabad bus station rather than squabbling. Oculi (talk) 23:04, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Oppose all, we've had Allahabad district since so long. Let the Faizabad stuff remain as it is, with a note added in the lede that official names include Ayodhya. No renames please. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  06:29, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

 * The Government of UP, led by Yogi Adityanath has changed the official name of Faizabad district to Ayodhya district in November 2018. So now, we can write it as Ayodhya district (erstwhile Faizabad district).
 * Nothing makes sense until it is established that "Ayodhya" is common name, and sadly, it is not so. Search results on Google reveal that Faizabad district is the COMMON NAME. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  13:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Procedural close This page is marred with RMs after RMs by socks. There's literally no constructive discussion on improving the page for the project, and is not invigorating. I propose a 1 year moratorium on RMs. — DaxServer (talk to me) 14:00, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Please correct the railway station name in Ayodhya district
Bharatkund is a railway station situated in Ayodhya district, Uttar Pradesh. But in your Wikipedia page, title name is written wrong as Bharat Kund railway station. Sir the correct name of this railway station is Bharatkund railway station. Bharatkund is one word. On Google map, official website of indian railways and everywhere it is written as Bharatkund railway station. Nobody is taking it seriously that's why i have written about this issue in this page. Please take it seriously and change the title name of "Bharat Kund railway station" as Bharatkund railway station. Thank you. Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 08:05, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
