Jaunsar-Bawar → Jaunsar Bawar – As per WP:COMMON, hyphen is not used in the common name. Hemant Dabral^Talk 14:08, 10 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. BegbertBiggs (talk) 19:46, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request. EdJohnston (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I wasn't able to confirm from the linked references that the spelling 'Jaunsar Bawar' (without the hyphen) is the common name. EdJohnston (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I've seen it written both ways (examples in the titles of books - without hyphen: ISBN 9788121109215, with hyphen: ISBN 8173870306). However, judging by the refs in the article, the hyphenated version appears to be the one used by the more reputable publishers, and it can easily be seen as more "correct" (or at least less confusing), as the name is a coordinate compound (meaning "Jaunsar and Bawar"). – Uanfala (talk) 18:56, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uanfala, same could be said about Jammu and Kashmir, some publications list it Jammu-Kashmir. Though, Jaunsar Bawar is the name listed in official documents of the government of Uttarakhand. Hemant Dabral^Talk 09:37, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
