Allahabad divisionPrayagraj division – The city Allahabad has officially been renamed to Prayagraj and a discussion at its talk page takes place which of the two names is currently the common name. I do not have an opinion in that discussion. However, this article is not about the city but about an administrative subdivision, and for administrative subdivisions an official name change is always followed by default.

Allahabad divisionPrayagraj division – Move to Prayagraj division, in line with official name. Such as Prayagraj itself 209.23.10.85 (talk) 13:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Support There is no point in delaying the rename anymore since the article on Prayagraj (headquarters) was recently renamed/moved from Allahabad on Wikipedia. see Talk:Prayagraj 456legend(talk) 06:15, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Too redundant to keep old name of adminstrative division when place name has already been changed. Should be done already. –JayB91 (talk) 13:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - There was already a very long discussion regarding changing the name of the city to its official name, so it makes sense to change the name of the division to its official name as well. Besides that, it would maintain consistency in Wikipedia.Krishna Dahal (talk) 19:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. So where is the evidence that "Prayagraj Division" is the commonly-used English name for the division? Google scholar certainly does not support it. The official name was changed in 2018, and yet the old name, "Allahabad Division" is four times more common than "Prayagraj Division". WP:COMMONNAME should apply.
