Regarding the capacity edits

There is a logical chain of sources indicating capacity reduction from 2013–14 renovations up to 2020. And since at least 2017, the capacity had already been reduced below 85k even ignoring the limited "net" capacity used for the U17 championship. As such, if you wish to correct the capacity with a higher number than the one AIFF signed up on in 2020, please feel free to do so but include a source about additional seats being installed, stadium being enlarged, renovated, etc... Currently, there aren't any sources dating 2021 onwards to that tune in the article. Respublik (talk) 16:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I already showed numerous articles which have sources too proving against this claim...change them with your link if so sure, but only this article cant be left with different numbers 93.143.252.66 (talk) 19:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please take time to familiarize yourself with the WP:CIRC. Respublik (talk) 08:21, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan → Salt Lake Stadium – Per WP:UCRN. Also per Google Ngram – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 04:34, 25 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 17:36, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Giant Snowman 15:45, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - is not the name used by e.g. FIFA. GiantSnowman 15:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FIFA has used the official name of the stadium, and this proposal is about the WP:COMMONNAME of the stadium. Didn't you see the Ngram result? And as far as I know, common names have more weightage against official names, i.e. Mahatma Gandhi is not Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 15:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My Google search had more for the current name. Give us actual sources. Giant Snowman 11:45, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then here you go —

Quora

And the list continues, can't link all of them here! I hope that would be enough! – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 12:13, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Salt Lake Stadium → Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan – Per GiantSnowman, this official name is recognised and used by FIFA. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 16:50, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP:COMMONNAME, not official name, is what we use. OP, you got this one right when you proposed it in 2023. 162 etc. (talk) 18:07, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Per 162 etc. Svartner (talk) 09:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as above. I was wrong at the last RM. If I had seen the later sources, I would have changed my !vote. Giant Snowman 18:22, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above and last RM, we use the WP:COMMONNAME not the WP:OFFICIALNAME. Dank Jae 17:46, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was under the impression that Akshadev had accepted an editing limitation including "not initiating in or participating in move requests at all" as a condition of his unblock, as discussed at User talk:Akshadev/Archive 2#Regarding unblock and my return. Dekimasuよ! 12:30, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dekimasu I remember that. But I didn't mean for the lifetime. If I don't do anything wrong, I have full right under Wikipedia policy to participate in a RM or initiate a RM discussion. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 12:40, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, conditional unblock is an established part of Wikipedia:Blocking policy. It specifically states that "If editors breach the unblock conditions or engage in fresh misconduct, they may be blocked or further restricted. After the blocked user has accepted the conditions and been unblocked, the conditions may be appealed only to the unblocking administrator or to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard." I do not know if the condition was explicitly logged since I did not take action on the unblock request, but "full right to initiate a RM discussion" is contrary to the spirit of the unblock request and the restrictions that were suggested. And the reason is that there is an established history of infractions related to participation in RMs. Pinging Bradv for his perspective, since he performed the unblock. Dekimasuよ! 12:48, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bradv does not appear to be active at the moment. I am not going to elevate this to WP:ANI now, but if the issue is pressed through further participation in move requests without clarification or appeal of the unblock conditions, then I will do so. Best, Dekimasuよ! 12:58, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dekimasu Ok I understand. What can I do to get back my full rights, is there any way? – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 13:44, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawing - Per everyone above. I request an immediate closure. Thank you! – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 12:42, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
