Gajapati Empire → Gajapatis of Orissa – According to the Ngram, Gajapatis of Orissa is widely used than "Gajapati Empire" or "Gajapati Kingdom" [1]. Another thing to be noted is that not much WP:RS calls the kingdom by the name "Empire", but Gajapatis itself. Imperial ^[AFCND] 09:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits!

Oppose, As In History and Culture of Indian People by R.C Majumdar uses the word Empire for its designation Rawn3012 (talk) 18:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Majumdar's statement is not alone the factor that decides the title. Commonly used per Ngram is "Gajapatis of Orissa".--Imperial ^[AFCND] 19:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Better if it'd be renamed as Gajapati Kingdom per recent Ngram searches as it is widely used rather than Gajapatis of Orrisa or Gajapati Empire.

Smoothened view of Ngram [2] leads "Gajapatis of Orissa". Imperial ^[AFCND] 10:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nuh uh, Smoothened view of recent Ngram searches widely used Gajapati Kingdom rather than Gajapatis of Orrisa or Gajapati Empire.Based Kashmiri (talk) 10:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am okay with either "Gajapatis of Orissa" or "Gajapati Kingdom". Incase of case sensitive, Gajapatis of Orissa only have an Ngram. Imperial ^[AFCND] 10:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Based Kashmiri@ImperialAficionado I think you guys know the difference between Kingdom and an empire just because of Ngram. You can't destroy the imperial historicity of a power. It would be better to use Gajapati Empire only. User:Rawn3012|Rawn3012]] (talk) 13:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? You just voted to oppose the name "Gajapatis of Orissa", and now you're saying "It would be better to use Gajapatis of Orissa". Based Kashmiri (talk) 13:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now you edited (1) "Gajapatis of orissa" to "Gajapati empire". Based Kashmiri (talk) 13:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you saw an old edit, I mistyped it. Have corrected too. Rawn3012 (talk) 13:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok Based Kashmiri (talk) 13:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
