Talk:Polygar

Proposed move
This page should be moved to Polygar. That is the English term (and not Palaiyakkarar, which is the Tamil version), and that is what it is referred to as throughout the page. Hehest (talk) 02:21, 6 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree that Polygar is the WP:COMMONNAME. I am now even more bemused because has just moved it to Palegars with the rationale that "move Palaiyakkarar to Palegars ‎(Polygar is the English term for Polygars but not Palaiyakkarar which is a Tamil term)". No way is Palegar the common name in the English language. And we do not pluralise words such as this. - Sitush (talk) 16:41, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes it should be moved to Polygar. Sorry but I was unable to move it to Polygar and when I was trying move it to Polygars still I got an error and accidentally I moved it to Palegars instead of Polygars. I was unable to move the page back and was stuck. Please help me with it. - Harsha 16:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sri Harsha Bhogi (talk • contribs)
 * No problem. I will sort it out for you soon. - Sitush (talk) 17:06, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

I am moving the page to "Poligar" because that is what I am seeing in RS and the Google Ngram viewer confirms that "Polygar" is an old spelling. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:45, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I notice that there was a page called Poligar and User:Southernstar redirected it to this page in 2007. Southernstar, do you have any memory why this was done? There is nothing on the talk page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:21, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
