Change the names of other pages related to Prayagraj[edit]

As the name of this page has been moved to Prayagraj, so now the names of the pages like Allahabad Division and Allahabad District be also changed to Prayagraj Division and Prayagraj District respectively. In addition names of the other "OFFICIALY RENAMED" institutions located in Prayagraj should also be changed. TheOneRiding (talk) 08:27, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That appears a natural consequence of this rename here. I'll leave it to others to do it, though. — kashmīrī ^TALK 08:56, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would support the renaming of Allahabad division and Allahabad district but we need to be very careful about renaming other articles. For example Allahabad High Court is still officially the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, so should not be renamed. - Arjayay (talk) 09:20, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Allahabad district and Allahabad division

Prayagraj is the common and official name of this city. Prayagraj district and Prayagraj division is also common names. I guess you should change the name of Allahabad division and Allahabad district as Prayagraj division and Prayagraj district. Bikapur (talk) 10:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @TheOneRiding, @Kashmiri, @Arjayay and @Bikapur for their opinions at this RM. — Akshadév™ 💬 02:30, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This too should be moved

Shaan Sengupta (talk) 06:34, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hadal, The consensus has already been reached for the RM proposal for History of Prayagraj (See Talk:History of Prayagraj). It's been 12 days now, why is it getting delayed? — Akshadév™ 💬 14:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Akshadev: Do not ping users (Hadal in this case), asking them to take a decision. It is WP:CANVASSING. Per WP:RM policy, the closure will be done by non-involved admins/users per their own. Besides Talk:History of Prayagraj doesn't seem to have a WP:CONSENSUS, there are many opposes also note consensus ≠ vote. Let the process complete. Also consider this a warning. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:34, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

repinged - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:37, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: If asking a question to an administrator violates any policy then I apologise. But I simply (and clearly) asked the reason of delay, not to take a decision. — Akshadév™ 💬 15:28, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the article - I have seen the Prayagraj Juctuion named as Allahabad Junction So I think it should be added updated name.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theashishktiwari (talk • contribs) 06:38, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Human Resource[edit]

This section seems more like an advertisement. It mentions a list of hospitals available, a list of projects, and the amount sanctioned to beautify the city, as well as MOUs signed to make the city smart. However, no latest update has been included so far. For now, I have hidden the content. However, we can add it only after we discuss it here. Thanks. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 21:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
