Please delete this Wikipedia's "Faizabad Cantonment" page

Sir, on Wikipedia we have already Faizabad Cantt page. And Faizabad Cantt and Faizabad Cantonment is same. That's why there is no need for two same pages on Wikipedia. That's why i am requesting to delete this "Faizabad Cantonment" Wikipedia page because we have already "Faizabad Cantt page. Thank you sir Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 18:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: If they cover the same topic, then one would need merged into the other. I note that this page has the longer edit history (six years vs. two). —C.Fred (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name Faizabad Cantt is more famous and common name than Faizabad Cantonment. Please merge Faizabad Cantonment with Faizabad Cantt Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 16:39, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Faizabad Cantt (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Faizabad Cantonment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

It looks like we have two articles on the same subject. Faizabad Cantonment is the older standing article, having existed since 2016. More significantly, this source at Cantonment#India uses the name Faizabad Cantonment. For that reason, I'm proposing the merge take place into this article. —C.Fred (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since November 2018, the word Ayodhya Cantt is being used more than Faizabad Cantt. The government has renamed Faizabad Cantt as Ayodhya Cantt in October 2022. but since last 4 years The name Ayodhya Cantt is being used in most of the newspapers, news channels and also in public places. That's why I think Ayodhya Cantt or Faizabad Cantt is more common than Faizabad Cantonment name. Please Use Ayodhya Cantt or Faizabad Cantt as title name of this Wikipedia page Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 17:09, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please use Ayodhya Cantt or Faizabad Cantt as title page. And please merge Faizabad Cantonment page in Faizabad Cantt Wikipedia page. Thank you Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayodhya-prayagraj: Do you have links to sources? —C.Fred (talk) 19:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/cities/others/faizabad-cantt-to-be-renamed-as-ayodhya-cantt-101664906048615-amp.html Ayodhya-prayagraj (talk) 19:41, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's unreadable. —C.Fred (talk) 23:52, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that Ayodhya seems to be the currently used name, as you can see from the Cantonment board website. Can I suggest, therefore, merging both to the existing redirect Ayodhya Cantonment. I think that Cantonment is better than Cantt as I'd argue that that abbreviation/truncation would be unfamiliar to most readers in English, and that other cantonment pages use this longer form for page names (see Category:Cantonment towns in Uttar Pradesh).

Addendum: Regarding the source provided by Ayodhya-prayagraj above, a link that works for me is this one. Klbrain (talk) 10:01, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge done. If you think the article should be renamed, that is a different issue with a process at WP:RSPM-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:38, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bikapur: Do you have a reliable source for Faizabad Cantonment being governed by Ayodhya Municipal Corporation? Have you looked at the website of Ayodhya Cantonment Board?-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
