May be much later. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay! Homolego (talk) 13:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would also like to enlighten upon this as it is already shown in news also that it is officially changed to Ayodhya Dham from Ayodhya Jn. Kindly move it today only to sought out. Kerashtra21 (talk) 15:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Like for Prayagraj Jn and subsequent 4 stations you wikipedians did change name after it was announced same should be applied here. Kerashtra21 (talk) 15:12, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support : The Name has been changed through a government Notification of Indian Railways and will be used in common language now.
It should be changed immediately without any delay. GabrielCQX (talk) 15:45, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not how it happens. The new name should be much more common than the existing name in the next few months or year, then only it will be changed. Seems like you made an ID just to comment here. Note that Wikipedia page move discussions and RfCs are not votes. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:00, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This account looks suspicious as it is created just 8 hours ago. Pinging @Spicy and Yamla: to have a look. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 23:35, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support name of a Railway Junction is not what is used for day to day discussions and there is no GENERAL NAME for a station, like we can argue that Prayagraj city might be Still called Allahabad in conversation, like Bombay and Calcutta. But the Name of a Railway Junction is a Official Name only, one cannot ask for a ticket to go to Ayodhya Jn anymore, people will only see Ayodhya Dham Jn. My opinion is that for naming of different entities, there should be different considerations based on the nature of affected change. Like a City name may take time to come in common use, but for something that is used only for official use, should affect the change as soon as official name changes.

Searches on Google News for the period 1 March 2023 to 27 December 2023 yield 214 results for "Ayodhya Dham" (excluding bus) and 189 results for "Ayodhya Junction" (excluding bus). Similarly, general Google searches yield more results for "Ayodhya Dham" than for "Ayodhya Junction".-- Toddy1 (talk) 23:21, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Ayodhya Dham Junction railway station. Mint (newspaper), 27 December 2023 says that the new name is "Ayodhya Dham Junction". This is confirmed by Hindustan Times, 27 December 2023, which quotes the official announcement The earlier allotted alphabetical code ‘AY’ has been retained. Accordingly you are requested to adopt the modified name of the station as ‘Ayodhya Dham Jn’ along with its already allotted alphabetical code. The same has been notified to all the concerned authorities under the advice of this office.-- Toddy1 (talk) 23:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks-- Toddy1 (talk) 00:55, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If there's a general consensus Please inform me else I'm withdrawing my proposal from the talk page.
Thankyou Homolego (talk) 05:29, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, not a common name yet. It'll be too early to move it . Ratnahastin (talk) 09:47, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    For the context of this particular article, the evidences already available above seems pretty convincing that its not TOO EARLY for sure. Please check out the comments above and see if it changes your vote. Karan.jr.Singh (talk) 11:18, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Contrary to what @Toddy1 is pointing out, I don't see a significant use of the alternative naming scheme and I think the usage of Google results here is disruptive at worst and misleading at best. The reason there are so many mentions of "Ayodha Dham" is because it was in the breaking news banner on many websites with the specific string of text: "Ayodha Junction renamed to Ayodhya Dham Junction" during the last day in that period (And google cached that version of the page). Most of those stories do not mention the junction in any capacity at all. Sohom (talk) 12:35, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
