History of West Bengal → Western Part of Bengal History – This page title is a State Name West Bengal and page cointain is before 1947 Bengal. Bongan^® →TalkToMe← 09:45, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support: Common name of West Bengal refers to current state after 1947. History of West Bengal (1947–present) should be moved to History of West Bengal, the current History of West Bengal should be moved to History of Western Part of Bengal ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:53, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Bangladesh was not formed in its current form till 1947, still we have History of Bangladesh - which covers from pre-History. We have History of Bengal, for the combined history. History of West Bengal (1947–present) should be treated as the history of the political entity West Bengal and summarized in this article, which covers the complete history.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 13:48, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Redtigerxyz Again, WP:COMMONNAME name of West Bengal refers to current state after 1947. Someone coming to History of West Bengal would probably be looking for the states history. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:00, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note (History of Bangladesh After 1971) prehistory cleanup discussion; prehistory page already existed (History of Bengal before 1947), Before Bangladesh independence page (History of East Pakistan after 1947-1971). In the History of Korea page, there is no combined history. If there is a separate page, why do we need to combine history?
