Please protect this page. There have been multiple instances where I see pictures of a vagina everytime I come on this page. I have also checked every other Wikipedia page for IPL teams, and they don’t seem to have the same problem. Goddessinhere (talk) 04:08, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

As per WP:COMMONNAME
@Praveen.dravid: As per Wikipedia policy WP:COMMONNAME, only the commonly recognized names should be used. In this case it is Bangalore not Bengaluru. Even the Bangalore article hasn't been renamed to Bengaluru. I suggest you revert the article back to the version which uses the word Bangalore. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC) RCB is the best team in IPL and most loved for the most records made in IPL history.
- @Fylindfotberserk,Thanks for the information. The Bangalore wiki page mentions about the Bengaluru and only the matter of time all the Bangalore will be edited as Bengaluru in the Wiki Pages considering the amount of articles and it will take time to rewrite all the articles.
- The article name is still Bangalore as per WP:COMMONNAME consensus.
- "Royal Challengers Bangalore" itself mentions the term "Bangalore".
- The club is not restricted to India and international players/viewers are also associated/interested in it. So as per WP:COMMONNAME, terms known worldwide should be used. As a comparison, famous football club FC Bayern Munich article use the words Germans or Germany INSTEAD OF regional words Deutsche or Deustchland in the article.
..only the matter of time all the Bangalore will be edited as Bengaluru
- You can't do it without consensus. And when Wikipedia accepts "Bengaluru", it will be a combine effort by all of us. So no need to sneakily change it in articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
@Fylindfotberserk: I did not change "Royal Challengers Bangalore", it is left to the team owners to rename or leave it as is. Bengaluru is more common now than Bangalore while refering to city unlike 5 years back, so this is in line with WP:COMMONNAME. All the International Airports across the world display Bengaluru not Bangalore.
- @Praveen.dravid: Probably you are not getting it. Go through WP:COMMONNAME again. It writes
..Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)..
. As you can see, commonly used names should be used, otherwise you'd be seeing Deutsch in everything German related. Do you see Deutschland in all International airports? - Look it was tried multiple times in the past to rename the Bangalore article to "Bengaluru" since 2010, but consensus was against it. See here, here, here. Even the number of Google hits for Bangalore is 33,30,00,000 as of now but for Bengaluru it is only 10,50,00,000. I'd suggest you to revert the changes since those were against concensus. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- It is getting unnecessarily delayed. The main settlement article is still named "Bangalore". Pinging @NeilN:, @Arjayay:, @Vensatry:, @Dharmadhyaksha:, @NJA:, @DBigXray: - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:00, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- As I’ve been summoned I will say I agree with Fylindfotberserk that the current name is in keeping with policy. Saying that, depending on the company registrar site I find the company (Royal Challengers Sports Pvt. Ltd.) is either registered in “Bangalore" or “Bengaluru”. That however is irrelevant to the name of the team, though I do appreciate many people may refer to the latter vs the former. I did also find on the internet (English internet I should say) both uses are in common use, but Bangalore is dominant. Anyhow, back to the name of the team: the team’s website itself is not helpful in confirming what exactly they mean by “RCB", but I did find several instances of Royal Challengers Bangalore (including the logo) and none referring to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. I’d close this and leave the name as is. NJA | talk 18:14, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- Responding to the ping, The arguments put forward by Fylindfotberserk are convincing. Unless Praveen.dravid can make a strong arguement that the common name is changed to Bengaluru, the city title should be Bangalore. since it is more commonly understood. This is a stupid dispute overall, no one confuses between the 2 names. Just leave it at Bangalore and focus on other aspects of the article that need improvement. regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 07:16, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Royal Challengers Bangalore → Royal Challengers Bengaluru – The franchise has been renamed, page should be moved. Kiilvish (talk) 13:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support: per nom. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 17:26, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support: They officially changed the name to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. - The9Man (Talk) 17:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose sources haven't started using the term Bengaluru yet, as they only re-branded yesterday, and so this doesn't meet the threshold of WP:NAMECHANGES (as English language sources haven't had a chance to decide whether they'll predominantly use Bengaluru or not). Wikipedia follows WP:COMMONNAME and not WP:OFFICIALNAME. Also, considering we have the article Bangalore not Bengaluru (and this has not been moved despite 13 move requests), it seems premature to assume that the common name for this team will be Bengaluru. Any support votes on this RM need to demonstrate why it's the common name, rather than just asserting support based on an official name change. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

- Yes these have all changed it to Bengaluru, but it's way too soon to know whether that will become the common name for most English sources. That will need a least a few months to become clear, and therefore I believe that changing it now is premature and not in line with the advice of WP:NAMECHANGES.

- Support: Name change has been officially announced by Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It will be fair to move this page under new name. Sachin126 (talk) 05:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose: I agree with Joseph2302; many sources still use 'Bangalore,' and also the article Bangalore has not been moved yet, so I think it's too early to change the name. VK wiki100 13:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- A city name and a privately owned entity name are two entirely different things. That argument does not carry much weight. - The9Man (Talk) 15:15, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Whereas every support vote so far is based on it being the new official name, which doesn't make it the common name, which is what's needed to move an article on Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:49, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- @The9Man: Yeah, I agree that the city and a privately owned entity are different, but I was trying to say that the name should only be changed when it's quite commonly used in reliable sources. Perhaps that's the reason why the Bangalore article's name hasn't changed. VK wiki100 17:14, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Support: I agree with the name change of the team. The name would definitely be common over the time. There is a long-due discussion about moving the article Bangalore to Bengaluru. The name change was done over a decade ago, today Bengaluru became common with most of the media uses it. The name Bengaluru have got the popularity in the pop-culture scene over the time.Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
