Currently the article is known as Queenstown, and redirects from Komani to here. Given that the official name, as gazetted by government in Vol. 608 on the 9 February 2016, is Komani, should this not be the other way around? That said, I suspect usage of Komani is not very widespread.... -- Mtb-za ( talk) 09:57, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Per Wikipedia's naming policy, our choice of name does not automatically follow the official or local form, but depends on that change having become predominant in common global usage. There is no consensus that up-to-date reliable references predominantly use one name over the other. ( closed by non-admin page mover) –– FormalDude talk 02:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

used more and more in reliable sources, or whether the name has become the common name. I also note that the single examples provided might not be from reliable sources; for example, four of them are from news24, which also published this article describing a woman in Eastern Cape as being 118 years old, which means they are making the dubious claim that she, not Kane Tanaka, was the oldest person in the world at the time. Dispatch Live, another reference supporting this nomination also published a similar story. news24 also seems to have continued given credulity to the claim that Gosiame Thamara Sithole gave bith to decuplets, months after the claim was proven false.

Queenstown, South Africa → Komani – As per the move discussion last year, the town's WP:COMMONNAME is now clearly Komani. For instance, the Diocese of Queenstown clearly calls the town Komani: [1] and the next most recent news hit for Queenstown - in a sea of Komani news hits - came as a Komani (formerly Queenstown) [2]. Local road signs use Komani. Should be a non-controversial move, but given the last discussion, I'm re-starting the discussion. SportingFlyer T· C 16:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.
