Merger Proposal

I propose to merge the article Rabwah into this article. Rabwah will then redirect to this article. Reason is that this city lies in Pakistan and Pakistan Government changed its name to Chenab Nagar in 1998. yasirniazkhan (talk) 16:11, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I also appeal to merge the name of the article to Chenab Nager

As suggested by DMacs the widely known and used name for the city is "Rabwah" and the widely used name by its residents and the local area ! So i would vote for the article name and title to remain Rabwah ! and chenabanagar should be redirected here --EhsanAhmad (talk) 16:19, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I would vote for the article name and title to remain Rabwah. Actually the change of city name to Chenab Nagar was against the wish of its residents and was actually to hurt Ahmadies residing in the city. -- User: IjazAhmad —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.64.125.145 (talk) 02:30, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely agreed ! the name change has its political reasons and to make the residents who are mostly ahmadis feel like they don't actually own or live in the city and the name change actually represents that the government doesn't recognize ahmadis as residents of the city and they dont have any right to vote or express their wishes or feelings upon the decisions takes by the government ! --EhsanAhmad (talk) 14:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Disagree

I completely disagree with the proposal as DMacks stated in the rabwah discussion page its commonly known as Rabwah in English and most of the websites maps and encyclopaedias, i would also like to state that most of this merger proposals are based on religious hatred towards ahmadiyya community if you take a look at the page history and discussion page history you will see comments against ahmadiyya beliefs and more and this merger would be more of a political rather than factual ! --EhsanAhmad (talk) 20:21, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Agree to changes

Hello. Name of the this city has been changed officially to Chenab Nagar. Postal Code list from Pakistan Post represent the evidence of this update with existing postal code and district.

This is an encyclopedic article. Here articles should be factually correct and neutral. I am personally against the name change simply because I feel that the inhabitants have the right to call their city what they feel like especially if they have a large hand in building it. However, having said that, legally the name of the city has changed. This name change should be reflected here since, it is now factually incorrect to call it Rabwah. People please learn the basic principles of Wikipedia and stop putting personal opinions. Sometimes you have to do things which you don't like or agree with. Learn to face reality.

and mr rzafar to make things neutral sometimes you dont have to go what the administration says ! even though its changed its still known as rabwah even in papers and government institutes too ! and this name change has more of a political purpose ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.203.173 (talk) 23:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
