The result of the move request was: Not moved. Nomination appears to be in error. No evidence was given that the district was renamed. Link is about the city. (non-admin closure) Venkat TL (talk) 16:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)Reply


Osmanabad districtDharashiv district – The city has been renamed, per source 1 and source 2 Hey man im josh (talk) 14:26, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Is the new name in common use? See the discussion about renaming Faizabad to Ayodhya district or Allahabad to Prayagraj district. I know it was referred to as Dharashiv before the Nizams renamed it but that still doesn't mean it is the common name today. C1MM (talk) 15:07, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please refer to the Nur Sultan Page which is formally known as Astana where common name is still Astana yet they have done because its official rectified Curious man123 (talk) 16:41, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 25 February 2023

This is an important request, please do not ignore it. As of today, Osmanabad has been changed to Dharashiv on the orders of Central Govt. of India.

I will be glad to be heared upon and allow me or many other contributors like me to do the required changes.

Change the subject name

Recently GOI renamed Osmanabad as Dharashiv so I urge to change the subject name. Shreyashmali100 (talk) 09:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Osmanabad districtDharashiv district – commonname is Dharashiv since ages Anubhavklal (talk) 11:07, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Another one from Zee News Marathi (translated) dated 21 Apr 2023 says the same thing. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:15, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Easier to pronounce isn't a valid argument, it depends on the familiarity and the individual. Also common name trumps official name as can be since in Germany and many such high level articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:16, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose: (1) Though some users claim that "Dharashiv district" is the official name, the available evidence only supports that the government is in the process of changing the official name to "Dharashiv district". i.e. until the process is completed the official name is "Osmanabad district". (2) As for evidence of what the common name is, Google News results covering 1 January 2023 to 6 July 2023 are: "Osmanabad district" 97, "Dharashiv district" 61. Though it is worth adding that news sources tend to be early adopters of new names for places (compared with books, academic sources, and general websites), so Google News searches undoubtedly overestimate that amount that "Dharashiv district" is in general use.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:34, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Osmanabad districtDharashiv district – earlier move request was primarily rejected as the name was not formally recognised, even though in common use. As per WP:Common article title should be common name and not necessarily official name. Anubhavklal (talk) 14:10, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
