On 26 April 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Allahabad district to Prayagraj district. The result of the discussion was moved. |
The three rivers of India - Ganges, Yamuna and the mythical river of Sarasvati - meet at a point in the Allahabad district, known as Sangam, making this a holy Hindu city.
There are only three rivers in India? And one of those only exists in myths and legends? Is that what is really meant here? Skinsmoke ( talk) 14:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Make it Prayagraj instead of Allahabad.
The name of the district has been changed to Prayagraj District and this should be reflected in the article. Whilst I can fully understand reluctance to change the name of the settlement of Allahabad / Prayagraj due to COMMONNAME, I don't see how this applies to a district which is not a settlement but a political entity. There is president for the change as Faizabad District was renamed a few days ago to Ayodhya District and this is already reflected on Wikipedia (including a change in article title) with no controversy. Cordyceps-Zombie ( talk) 16:31, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Cordyceps-Zombie above as the administrative Entity is Prayagraj District and settlement is Allahabad/Prayagraj. There is a separate page for each and the names should also reflect the difference. In addition a redirect from Allahabad District to Prayagraj District should be setup. YadavSandeep —Preceding undated comment added 16:53, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Proposed edit - change opening to read "Prayagraj district, Previously known as known as Allahabad district" - this mirrors the wording used on the article about the capital city of Kazakhstan where such wording was added on the day that the city was officially renamed (see /info/en/?search=Astana). There were no common name objections raised to those words on that page and that should also be the case here. I will make these changes if there are no objections.

Why is it still titled "Allahabad District" when it's been over three years since the official name was changed Iamgreat4eva ( talk) 12:26, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
I propose that this page moves from "Allahabad district" an obsolete name for this country sub-division to "Prayagraj district" the correct legal name for this district. There is president on Wikipedia for this when political entities are renamed, the page titles are changed to reflect this for example in the case of "Macedonia" becoming "North Macedonia", the page was moved on the same day as that was the new common name for that political. If we don't reflect name changes, we might as well have articles entitled "Saigon", "Leopoldville", "Rhodesia", Leningrad, "Dahomy" etc. Cordyceps-Zombie ( talk) 16:50, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
There is no district in Uttar Pradesh by the name of Allahabad. Prayagraj district is an official name. Please rename this page

Due to recent changes to the wording Allahabad district in favor of Prayagraj in the body of the article, I've added a temporary Edit notice scheduled to expire in a month, to see if that tamps it down somewhat. If the number of such edits jumps again after the edit notice expires on 26 October, we can reinstate it for a longer period. However, that doesn't have any effect on mobile users.

Allahabad district → Prayagraj district – Since the page of the city Prayagraj has been moved from 'Allahabad' to 'Prayagraj', I think it's time to do the same with this page I.e. move it to 'Prayagraj district'. Hq cities are generally the eponym to the district, and also the name has been officially changed, with this being the common name. Wikediter.fact ( talk) 00:11, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
