Q1: Why is the article titled Adam's Bridge instead of Rama Setu, Rama's Bridge, Shree Ramsetu, Ram Setu or something else?

A1:

For the origins of different names, see the article.

English Wikipedia's policy and convention (see WP:Article titles and WP:Naming conventions (geographic names) ) is that the title of an article should be the modern name generally used in English-language reliable sources, such as (in this case) scholarly works on geography, history and religion.

Several discussions requesting the retitling of the article have been held since 2011, and the Wikipedia community's consensus has been that Adam's Bridge is the proper title per Wikipedia policy. There is currently a WP:MORATORIUM on such discussions, which ends 16 September, 2025.

Q2: Why was my request or comment removed?

A2: Because of the frequency of meritless and disruptive requests, any further requests to move the page or to change the name will be removed without consideration, unless the request complies with all relevant Wikipedia guidelines, including WP:Requested moves, WP:Common name, WP:Article titles, and WP:Reliable sources.
