It is my understanding that the hill is more renowned by the name Thiruvannamalai (Thiru + Annamalai). The term Arunachala returns more results in Google because the term Arunachala may refer to the hill or the deity Arunachala(Arunachaleshwarar is the name of the deity Shiva of the Annamaliyar temple often called Arunachala) or to some extent also alludes to the Indian state with a similar name - Arunachal Pradesh. The name Arunachala is more often used to refer the deity and not the hill by the locals. I suggest that the move from Annamalai Hill to Arunachala be reverted.

Moreover, I hate to judge the names by Google result count but because it was projected as the cause for the initial move I am projecting this. As of now, Google comes back with

This article has been renamed from Annamalai Hill to Arunachala as the result of a move request.
The result of the proposal was Move
Annamalai Hill returns 603 google hits Arunachala returns 90,000
Various Hindu sacred texts use the name Arunachala, I think the move is a clear one. Sethie ( talk) 17:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

It is my understanding that the hill is more renowned by the Tamil name Thiruvannamalai (Thiru + Annamalai). The term Arunachala returns more results in Google because the term Arunachala may refer to the hill or the deity Arunachala(Arunachaleshwarar is the name of the deity Shiva of the Annamaliyar temple often called Arunachala) or to some extent also alludes to the Indian state with a similar name - Arunachal Pradesh. The name Arunachala is more often used to refer the deity and not the hill by the locals. I suggest that the move from Annamalai Hill to Arunachala be reverted on the basis that the term Annamalai unambiguously refers the hill whilst the term Arunachala is ambiguous. In an unrelated example, the Tirumala temple's historical tamil name is Thirumalai, but it is referred to in Wikipedia by its local language(telugu) name - Tirumala
