Not done: Please see the 6 similar requests above. This was discussed recently and the consensus was to keep the current name. Jamedeus (talk) 05:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now it is Nov 2024 and the name Chatrapati Sambhajinagar has become a well known common name to the public , request to consider changing it now , it is already quite some time and wikipedia can't keep on sitting like this and refuse to move ahead with public and government Sauradual (talk) 05:38, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Sauradual. The city has truly been renamed to Chh. Sambhajinagar. Keeping the old name active is just an appeasement tactic to cater to muslims. I get it it was the common name but even now the name has changed for the common people as well. Do the needful mods. 116.72.94.230 (talk) 14:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
