Requested move 7 January 2022

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Not moved (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 22:02, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Machadodorp → eNtokozweni – Bold move reversed for no reason. Place was renamed in 2009 and reliable sources regularly use the new name.

- Oppose, as the new name has not become the predominant global name as required by WP:MPN, and I will note that evidence for this was provided on your talk page prior to the move being reverted by a third editor. Specifically, ngrams, to which I will add Google News results, which shows twice as much use for Machadodorp as eNtokozweni. BilledMammal (talk) 03:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, per WP:COMMONNAME. Google News searches show that Machadodorp is used far more commonly than eNtokozweni:
- It is significant that even though it is claimed that the name was changed in 2009, Ngrams for the period up to 2019 show usage of Machadodorp but not eNtokozweni.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:14, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
