Talk:People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration

Page move
, It is "the Gupkar Residence" not "People's Alliance for the Gupkar Declaration". None of the sources have mentioned "the". Sources refer to as "the Gupkar residence" (where all-party meeting was held). Also, former name may be explained in the lead. Please see. You may wish to revert your edit and rename to its original title, People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration. Regards TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 18:16, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , I don't completely understand your comment, but it sounds like you think the title should be changed back to People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration. I do find that sources more often omit "the", but there are plenty that use it. Here is a sample:
 * "People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration vows to fight against new J&K land laws", India Today (uses it in the first paragraph, but not in the headline).
 * "Is there any good in the People’s Alliance for the Gupkar Declaration?", The Kashmir Walla (uses it in the headline, but not in the text)
 * "In Kashmir, Gupkar Alliance says it’s entering the electoral fray to keep ‘divisive forces’ at bay", Scroll.in
 * "Kashmir parties work to give alliance formal shape, Farooq could be head", Indian Express
 * "DDC Poll Results Are an Emphatic Rejection of the Scrapping of J&K's Special Status", The Wire (uses it in the text, but not in a photo caption)
 * "Gupkar alliance to contest in J&K District Development Council polls jointly", The Hindu
 * "After DDC: Will Centre further alienate J&K?", Asian Age
 * Normally, I would still follow the majority who leave out "the", but to my ears it sounds very gramatically wrong. In my experience, "the" is always used in constructions of this kind: "the Balfour Declaration", "the Declaration of Helsinki", "the Arusha Declaration", "the 1890 Manifesto", "the Tashkent Declaration", "the Kyoto Protocol", "the Dayton Agreement", and so on.—Neil Shah-Quinn (talk) 18:40, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
