Please delete this Wikipedia's "Faizabad Cantonment" page

[edit]

Sir, on Wikipedia we have already Faizabad Cantt page. And Faizabad Cantt and Faizabad Cantonment is same. That's why there is no need for two same pages on Wikipedia. That's why i am requesting to delete this "Faizabad Cantonment" Wikipedia page because we have already "Faizabad Cantt page. Thank you sir Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 18:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: If they cover the same topic, then one would need merged into the other. I note that this page has the longer edit history (six years vs. two). —C.Fred (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name Faizabad Cantt is more famous and common name than Faizabad Cantonment. Please merge Faizabad Cantonment with Faizabad Cantt Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 16:39, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like we have two articles on the same subject. Faizabad Cantonment is the older standing article, having existed since 2016. More significantly, this source at Cantonment#India uses the name Faizabad Cantonment. For that reason, I'm proposing the merge take place into this article. —C.Fred (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since November 2018, the word Ayodhya Cantt is being used more than Faizabad Cantt. The government has renamed Faizabad Cantt as Ayodhya Cantt in October 2022. but since last 4 years The name Ayodhya Cantt is being used in most of the newspapers, news channels and also in public places. That's why I think Ayodhya Cantt or Faizabad Cantt is more common than Faizabad Cantonment name. Please Use Ayodhya Cantt or Faizabad Cantt as title name of this Wikipedia page Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 17:09, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please use Ayodhya Cantt or Faizabad Cantt as title page. And please merge Faizabad Cantonment page in Faizabad Cantt Wikipedia page. Thank you Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: Do you have links to sources? —C.Fred (talk) 19:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/cities/others/faizabad-cantt-to-be-renamed-as-ayodhya-cantt-101664906048615-amp.html Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 19:41, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's unreadable. —C.Fred (talk) 23:52, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that Ayodhya seems to be the currently used name, as you can see from the Cantonment board website. Can I suggest, therefore, merging both to the existing redirect Ayodhya Cantonment. I think that Cantonment is better than Cantt as I'd argue that that abbreviation/truncation would be unfamiliar to most readers in English, and that other cantonment pages use this longer form for page names (see Category:Cantonment towns in Uttar Pradesh).

Addendum: Regarding the source provided by Ayodhya-prayagraj above, a link that works for me is this one. Klbrain (talk) 10:01, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge done. If you think the article should be renamed, that is a different issue with a process at WP:RSPM-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:38, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

@Bikapur: Do you have a reliable source for Faizabad Cantonment being governed by Ayodhya Municipal Corporation? Have you looked at the website of Ayodhya Cantonment Board?-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
