Mumbai CST Chennai Express → Mumbai CSMT - MGR Chennai Central Express – Change in names of stations Sai199610 (talk) 05:07, 13 June 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. DannyS712 (talk) 20:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

The names of the source and the destination stations have been changed from those of the older ones. The changes are made and is reflected in the official Website of the Indian Railways.
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Sai199610 (talk) 07:31, 13 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Need more reliable source to prove the change in WP:common name. Matthew hk (talk) 05:46, 13 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Yet another RM need to be fixed due to editing error by the nominator. Matthew hk (talk) 06:28, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

There is no participation. Then I think this is an uncontroversial move. Ping User: Matthew hk. Sai199610 (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2019 (UTC)


 * It is not an uncontroversial move. I had further comment on the same reliable source issue, closing the RM, etc already at Talk:Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, Talk:Lokmanya Tilak Terminus - Chennai Central Weekly Express and Talk:Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station. Matthew hk (talk) 06:40, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes these sources are the reliable and the relevant ones. Now if you oppose give a relevant reason with resource. And i have mentioned in the other Talk page that giving Newspaper resources are not easy as finding the names of such trains are very very rare. There are moves of many other trains without even a proper resource given. Sai199610 (talk) 08:08, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

I do understand that but other than the government website I have also provided two other non-government website. I would like to tell you that names of trains are not very often seen on Newspapers. So we need to wait for the participation of other users.Sai199610 (talk) 08:04, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

The common name of this train is purely based on its source and destination stations. The common name of Chennai Central as per the newspaper article that I am providing proves it to be "MGR Chennai Central". https://m.timesofindia.com/city/thiruvananthapuram/mgr-chennai-central-bi-weekly-express-timing-revised/articleshow/69792876.cms https://m.timesofindia.com/city/chennai/pmjay-beneficiary-identification-and-awareness-drive-held-at-dr-mgr-central-railway-station-in-chennai/articleshow/69844403.cms https://m.timesofindia.com/city/chennai/two-changes-at-puratchi-thalaivar-dr-mgr-central/articleshow/69731857.cms Also I have given Reliable secondary source news articles of the common name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station on its talk page Talk: Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station to be CSMT. So in this case as per the common names of the source and destination stations the article can be moved with the new request made by me.Sai199610 (talk) 10:06, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * MGR Chennai Central bi-weekly express timing revised
 * PMJAY beneficiary identification and awareness drive held at Dr MGR Central Railway Station in Chennai
 * Two changes at Puratchi Thalaivar Dr MGR central

If you have to oppose provide a more reliable and relevant source.Sai199610 (talk) 10:12, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Ping User:Matthew hk for replies. Also Talk:Mumbai Chennai Mail, Talk:Mumbai CST - Mangaluru Junction SF Express and Talk: Lokmanya Tilak Terminus - Chennai Central Weekly Express.Sai199610 (talk) 07:22, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose – A spaced hyphen has no sensible role is wikipedia, where we have MOS:DASH. Separation of source and destination by an unspaced en dash would be appropriate.  No opinion on the rest of the issue since I haven't dug into it. Dicklyon (talk) 05:59, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I see no showing at this time that the present title is insufficient to precisely and concisely identify the subject. bd2412  T 22:11, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
