Mayor of Chittagong → Mayor of Chattogram – He is the mayor of Chattogram City Corporation Not Chittagong also Chattogram is the official name of the City according to the Government of Bangladesh. Therealbey (talk) 19:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

But Wikipedia values common name more. That's way the name of the city in Wikipedia is Chittagong, not Chattogram. So, Keep the current name. Mehedi Abedin 07:38, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

what About Prayagraj? it's common name is Allahabad and illahabad almost no one use Prayagraj but in 2018 it was changed by Govt and Wikipedia also moved from Allahabad to prayagraj Chittagong was also changed in 2018 but Wikipedia didn't update it Therealbey (talk) 10:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Firstly, in Wikipedia, when we discuss about issues we don't show examples from other articles to prove our point. There was move discussion two times for Prayagraj and I don't know what happened for that article but that is totally unrelated to this discussion. Because you see, Astana was changed to Nur Sultan, but it is same in Wikipedia. Turkey was changed to Turkiye but it is same in English Wikipedia. So these type of questions will not get us anywhere. There is something you said "Wikipedia didn't update it" and it is incorrect. Wikipedia don't do anything here. We, the editors of Wikipedia, do things based on guidelines.

So the thing is the name "Chattogram" is used by Bengali-language publications from British India. But in present time although the government of Bangladesh changed its name, many English-language publications still use the name "Chittagong". And the funny thing here is the web address of the government website of Chittagong District is chittagong.gov.bd, not chattogram.gov.bd. Banglapedia uses Chittagong. British Council use the name Chittagong.

But maybe there will be a time when usage of Chattogram will be prominent, in that time there will be no problem to move the article to Chittagong. Mehedi Abedin 12:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

If you open the chittagong.gov.bd and choose the language English The name on it is Chattogram Therealbey (talk) 13:41, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

But that doesn't change the other points I described here. And as you didn't said anything about other points we are still in WP:COMMONNAME. Mehedi Abedin 08:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

• oppose because the WP:COMMONNAME of the city is Chittagong. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
