From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page provides information to aid discussions of the various page names (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi or Mohandas K. Gandhi) that have taken place on the Talk:Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi page. It lists the page names of Gandhi articles in other encyclopedias.

In discussing naming conflicts, WP:NCON explicitly says:

"Reference works. Check other encyclopedias. If there is general agreement on the use of a name (as there often will be), that is usually a good sign of the name being the preferred term in English."

Here are the page names of the articles on Gandhi in encyclopedias which include all the major ones, as well as specialty encyclopedias. Pretty much all encyclopedias listed below have links. The Gandhi article names are in boldface with link supplied to the page.
