Regarding page name[edit]

Change the title of Faizabad Airport to Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport.[edit]

I have seen that the airport in Mumbai city was earlier named Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. And the government made some changes in it and added the word Maharaj in the year 2018. And now the name of this airport is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. And I have seen that on your Wikipedia also the word Maharaj has been added later in the title name. I am telling you this as an example. Please change the title name of Faizabad Airport to "Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport". Realtime99 (talk) 12:47, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Realtime99 The article titles will be set according to the Wikipedia's article title policy - which is the common name of the airport. -- DaxServer (talk) 13:35, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

time to change name from "Faizabad Airport" To "Ayodhya Airport"[edit]

its been a long time since the airport's name is changed, we can see at ground that the common name being used for the airport has been changed. to support my words, i would like to attract your attention towards some search results. here we will consider six names, Ayodhya international airport, Ayodhya airport, faizabad international airport, and faizabad airport. other names such as maryada purushottam sriram airport or maryada purushottam sriram international airport are not in race but even then i will provide there results too, to make competition fair. we will play 3 rounds
ROUND 1
so we will start from ayodhya airport, in google search it show around 2,560,000 results and in news section, which is considered as a reliable source in wikipedia, shows around 58,000 result, compared to faizabad airport, which shows much lower of only 1,490,000 results in "all" section which is around half of that of ayodhya's and when compared in "news" section it shows a huge difference with only 6490 results which is around 9 times lower. now we will consider the word "international" in both the names. so here "ayodhya airport" won the round 1
ROUND 2
So this time we will start with faizabad, there should be a fair competition ofcourse, so faizabad international airport has 1,150,000 results and in news section it has 3,940 results, which is much lower than ayodhya international airport, which has around 26000 results in "news" section. But there is a catch, when we search ayodhya international airport, in "all" section it shows only 786,000 results, which is lower than that of faizabad's, with a clear difference of 364,000. so here "faizabad international airport" won the round 2
ROUND 3
now its time to compare the official name, with these names mentioned above, so official name "maryada purushottam sriram international airport" has the least 7,340 results in "all" section and a joke in "news" section with only 119 results, so clearly it is out of race. now consider this name without "international" word fair competition :). so "maryada purushottam sriram airport" has 22,700 result is "all" section and a little less funny joke in "news" section with 315 results. so clearly this is also out of race. so here no one won the round 3
ROUND 4(only on public demand)
We will play one last round, round 4 between the winners of round 1 and round 2
so ayodhya airport has 2,560,000 results in "all" section compared to faizabad internaional airport with only, 1,150,000 results. In "news" section ayodhya airport has 58,000 results compared to faizabad international airport with only 3,940 results.
so the winner is, ........ ANY GUESSES??? yes you are right... AYODHYA AIRPORT.. everybody give a big round of applause to him.
jokes appart,
so now conclusion from my side, "Ayodhya Airport" is the clear winner here with almost Double Results in "All" section compared to other names and around 9 to 20 times more results in "news" section, with 58,000 results. So my vote goes to "ayodhya airport". we will try to make a consensus on this name here, and if i didn't get any counterpoints, then i will consider it as a "go ahead" sign. and change the name.thankyou Followbrocode (talk) 13:56, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Change the title name of Ayodhya Airport as Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport[edit]

Gov. has changed the name of Ayodhya Airport as Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport in 2021. Govt. also issued official notification of name change of Ayodhya Airport. Now common people of Ayodhya district and even news channel and newspaper are using Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport as common name of this airport. That's why i am requesting you to change the title name of Ayodhya Airport as Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport. Thank you.

Faizabad[edit]

The airport Wikipedia calls Ayodhya Airport was formerly called Faizabad airstrip. It is physically in southern Faizabad. When newspapers refer to it being in Ayodhya, they mean that it is in Ayodhya district (also known as Faizabad district. Of course, older sources use the name Faizabad because they were written before the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh renamed the district. It is not helpful to edit out Faizabad.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:01, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since we have Faizabad, it is necessary to mention it in my opinion. We can add a phrase like twin city of Ayodhya or something similar, reword it accordingly. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:53, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't create confusions on Ayodhya and Faizabad[edit]

Sir, Govt. Of Uttar Pradesh has merged the Faizabad municipal corporation in Ayodhya Municipal corporation in the year 2017. after one year govt. also changed the name of Faizabad district and division as Ayodhya district and Ayodhya division in November 2018. After merging Faizabad in Ayodhya Municipal corporation, government has removed Faizabad name completely from every govt. departments, offices and institutions. Faizabad area comes under Ayodhya Municipal corporation. Now Ayodhya city covers the full area which comes under Ayodhya Municipal corporation. Therefore, no need to mention Faizabad anywhere in this Wikipedia page. Indiatimes2014 (talk) 20:32, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The names of the district and the division will not change without an 'RfC for move' here in Wikipedia. As for the Ayodhya Municipal corporation, it seems to be a somewhat different case. Since Faizabad is relevant here in Wikipedia, to balance it out, we can add a phrase (in italics) in the line → "In February 2021, the Government of India has approved the Uttar Pradesh government's proposal for an international airport in Ayodhya, located in the Faizabad region ". Something like that. Others can suggest better may be. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:56, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
{{Efn}} could be a better one — DaxServer (t · c) 09:27, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The government considers the entire area which is a part of Ayodhya Municipal Corporation as just one Ayodhya city. Let me explain you by giving an example, for example, if the government now writes the address of a government office located in Rikabganj in Faizabad city (now part of Ayodhya city) then it writes (Rikabganj, Ayodhya - 224001) as follows. Faizabad is not written there. Indiatimes2014 (talk) 09:36, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I want to tell you sir that government not consider two cities since 2018. Government consider it as one and only Ayodhya city. That's why govt. has changed the railway station of Faizabad Junction as Ayodhya Cantt. I am from Ayodhya, i want to tell you that not a single person use Faizabad name as a city in this district. That's why it is now only one city - Ayodhya city. Indiatimes2014 (talk) 09:42, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Here on Wikipedia we use reliable sources.

Vajpayee boarded the train at Katra (on the outskirts of Ayodhya in Ambedkar Nagar to the district headquarters of Faizabad, now called Ayodhya). ...

The Modern Airport Terminal, New Approaches to Airport Architecture[edit]

During clean up I removed a citation to a book:

Edwards, Brian (2 August 2004). "Other airport structures, Transportation Centre at the International Airport at Inchon, Seoul,". The Modern Airport Terminal, New Approaches to Airport Architecture. Taylor & Francis. pp. 253–262. ISBN 978-0-203-64687-8. {{cite book}}: |work= ignored (help)

The book was cited for: In February 2021, the Government of India has approved the Uttar Pradesh government's proposal for an international airport in Faizabad. A book published in 2004 is not a reliable source for a decision made by the the Government of India in 2021.

Has anyone seen the book? Does it mention Faizabad airport? Faizabad airport/air strip/air station was the name in 2004.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The citation was added by a sockpuppet of Sanjay Kumar Tiwari20.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please add International word in title name[edit]

Ayodhya International Airport is an under - construction international airport in Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya International Airport is the common name of this airport. Please add International word in the title name of this Wikipedia page. Thank you Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 18:18, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please move this Wikipedia page from Ayodhya Airport to Ayodhya International Airport soon. Thank you Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 18:23, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It has not opened. When I look at what reliable news sources say, I can see that in current news stories, they often use "Ayodhya airport", for example:Financial Express, 10 Feb 2023 and Biltrax 31 Jan 2023, which both say that it is expected to open in June 2023.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:18, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Or if the sources use a full name, it's "Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram Airport", without "International". —C.Fred (talk) 03:04, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: Please either (a) self-revert this edit introducing the word "international" into the so-called official name, or (b) provide citations to reliable sources that support the change of official name from "Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram Airport" to "Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport". The three citations for the so-called official name call it as follows:

  • Maryada Purshottam Shri Ram Airport in Ayodhya[1]
  • Maryada Purshotam Shriram Airport[2]
  • 'Maryada Purushottam Shriram Airport' in Ayodhya[3]

It is not OK to park changed information against citations for existing information.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Google map is using this airport name as Ayodhya International Airport, not Ayodhya Airport. In February 2021, Central govt.approved UP govt's proposal for international airport in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 18:06, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So what. Wikipedia policy is that all material added to articles must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. Posting what you think ought to be the name, next to sources that say a different name is misleading.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and Google Maps also says Faizabad Airport फ़ैज़ाबाद एअरपोर्ट. -- Toddy1 (talk) 22:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agenda against India[edit]

Toddy1 is an Anti India person. Wikipedia is a good but some bad people are involved in this and they are running anti India agenda. That's why you are doing this vulgar and stupid things. I know you will block me after this message. But i dont care about it Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 19:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be saying that someone who uses the name that reliable published sources say is the official name, is running anti India agenda. The reliable sources above were Zee News, the Hindustan Times, and Times Now all of which are written by Indians living and working in India. They are as loyal to India as anyone else.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:02, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport[edit]

Sir, the official as well as the common name of this airport is Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport. I think its right time to rename this Wikipedia page title name as Maryada Purushottam Shriram International Airport. Sir i have noticed that you have recently renamed the Allahabad (Prayagraj) Airport as Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Airport. If you can rename Allahabad Airport name then why not Ayodhya Airport ? Many people told you for renaming Ayodhya Airport as Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport but you didn't rename it till now. Requesting you for renaming the Ayodhya Airport name soon. Thank you Sir! Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 09:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: I'm looking at the sources cited in the article, and most of them call the airport "Ayodhya Airport". For the article to be moved (renamed), you would need to demonstrate that the common name used to refer to the airport is "Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport". —C.Fred (talk) 14:39, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I am seeing a big difference between the words and actions of Wikipedia. You always talk about common names. But the common name of the airport which has been named after Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay is either Allahabad Airport or Prayagraj Airport. This shows how double standard you are. You have changed the name of Allahabad airport to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay which is not its common name but its official name. I am not against the name change of Allahabad Airport, I am supporting it. But I am also Supporting the name change of Ayodhya Airport as "Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport". Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 15:27, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: See WP:OTHERSTUFF. I'm not familiar with those articles; I only know what I've seen related to this article. —C.Fred (talk) 17:05, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Arimaboss: If you want to change the article name, please use the process for a contested move, and provide evidence that explicitly supports your proposed name.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:27, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please could anyone who thinks that the official name for the airport has the word "international" in it look at the previous discussion of this issue, which is archived at Talk:Ayodhya Airport/Archive 1#Please add International word in title name. If you have reliable sources that include that word in the official name, please tell us what they are here.-- Toddy1 (talk) 22:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
