Machadodorp → eNtokozweni – Bold move reversed for no reason. Place was renamed in 2009 and reliable sources regularly use the new name.

 * Oppose, as the new name has not become the predominant global name as required by WP:MPN, and I will note that evidence for this was provided on your talk page prior to the move being reverted by a third editor. Specifically, ngrams, to which I will add Google News results, which shows twice as much use for Machadodorp as eNtokozweni. BilledMammal (talk) 03:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose, per WP:COMMONNAME. Google News searches show that Machadodorp is used far more commonly than eNtokozweni:
 * Machadodorp 288 results
 * eNtokozweni 58 results
 * It is significant that even though it is claimed that the name was changed in 2009, Ngrams for the period up to 2019 show usage of Machadodorp but not eNtokozweni. -- Toddy1 (talk) 19:14, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
