Gopalapuram, West Godavari → Gopalapuram, West Godavari district – Uniformity and also there is nothing like west godavari Vin09 (talk) 10:07, 15 October 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 14:21, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: This puzzles me a bit. Is West Godavari district really the correct title for the article on that district, rather than just West Godavari? But see Category:Districts of Andhra Pradesh and particularly its subcategories. It seems to me we may have a local consensus here to make the article titles unnecessarily precise, and that there's quite a lot of work to do to either set up a naming convention to justify this, or to correct a lot of article names. Or to put it another way, far from requiring a move, on present policy and guidelines this is one of the few articles relating to districts of Andhra Pradesh that does not need moving!

Comment: Godavari is a river name and the river flows in three different states. So, West Godavari might be a direction or a district name. Gorantla, Guntur is a place in the city of Guntur. While, Gorantla, Guntur district is a place in the district. It was accepted in an earlier discussion. All the names should be unique.--Vin09 (talk) 05:27, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Totally unnecessary, the current title is fine per WP:CONCISE, and there's no chance of "West Godavari" being misinterpreted as anything to do with the river. — Amakuru (talk) 14:33, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : Fine, I understood what you said and accept for East and West Godavari. But for other districts it won't work. Consider my above example, because, the district headquarter and the city names are same and same kind of villages or neighbourhoods exist in those. Any opinions?--Vin09 (talk) 14:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
