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)
 * 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 . Culuturally, Bengaluru is familiar among the public. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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)

 * 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)
 * Oppose Bangalore is still more common, and also more natural looking and sounding to English speakers. DieOuTransvaal (talk) 19:36, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The second part is completely irrelevant, particularly as English is widely spoken in India. AusLondonder (talk) 15:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * Oppose. No evidence this has become the common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No evidence for common name has been presented in the opening comment. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose, no evidence provided for WP:COMMONNAME by WP:NAMECHANGES. Would possibly support if that is provided.  Dank Jae  21:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Why are we using an outdated colonial spelling of the name?
Should we rename the articles for Bombay and Calcutta as well? 192.34.130.239 (talk) 16:47, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

No source for Mega City
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)
