plz correct --Dr.jagdish (talk) 05:28, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * On 11 June 2009 Anupam moved this article from Kaimganj to Qaimganj, without giving any explanation. Subsequently the use of the name Qaimganj was criticised, and the article was moved back to Kaimganj by Gigs, but then returned to Qaimganj by Anupam, who gave no explanation here or in an edit summary, but posted a note on Gigs's talk page stating that "the correct name of the city is Qaimganj", and giving statements about the local form of the name to justify this. Wikipedia's policy on the naming of articles is that we should normally use the name most commonly used and recognised in English; also the guideline on place names says "When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it. This often will be a local name, or one of them; but not always". (My emphasis.) My investigation indicates that "Kaimanj" is far more common in English than "Qaimanj": for example a Google search for pages in English containing "Qaimganj" produces 203 hits, while a similar search for "Kaimganj" produces 9650. (It does not, in fact, make much difference if we do not restrict the search to pages in English: the corresponding figures are respectively 234 and 10600.) Consequently the article's title should indeed be "Kaimganj". JamesBWatson (talk) 11:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * This CSD nomination did not meet the criterion WP:G6, as it was not uncontroversial. However, I am convinced by this argument and the party moving in the other direction has not provided any verifyable arguments for their moves. I therefore performed the move. If there is any disagreement, please go through Requested moves. &mdash; Sebastian 19:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
