Like many British-era road names in India, the current generation invents spellings when the actual name has been changed and people try to remember the old name, as is common in Bombay. I have fixed "Magdalla Road" to "Magdala Road" as this is a famous battle and many Indian soldiers fought there with the British. The Google map shows the correct spelling. -- Ash ( talk) 00:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

In this article, some units are only given in imperial and metric, and this causes confusion. Both units must be given, like it is the norm in English Wikipedia, to avoid confusion. 95% of the world population use only the metric system. Multituberculata ( talk) 06:35, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Only "25,520 sq.m." in the "Expanded terminal" section, and "14,000 sq.ft.", "10,800 sq.ft." and "3,200 sq.ft." in the "Cargo terminal" section, need to have converters added.. Primefac ( talk) 09:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the five criteria listed above. The usage of the new term Surat International Airport should be significantly higher in usage than the one at present. Hence, it is still not the common name. Would require some time. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 15:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
"Surat Airport in Gujarat is declared as an International Airport with immediate reg". We are not discussing whether it is an international airport or not, rather we are discussing the name, particularly whether the term "Surat International Airport" is the most commonly used phrase for the airport or not in reliable sources. Besides, the gazette mentions the name as Surat Airport, that is there is no international in the name. Even if the official sources explicitly mention "Surat International Airport", it wouldn't make the change here unless most of the English reliable sources start using the new name. We use the common name not the official name. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 17:56, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
