Gajapati Empire →
Gajapatis of Orissa – According to the Ngram, Gajapatis of Orissa is widely used than "Gajapati Empire" or "Gajapati Kingdom"
[1]. Another thing to be noted is that not much
WP:RS calls the kingdom by the name "Empire", but Gajapatis itself.

Oppose, As In History and Culture of Indian People by R.C Majumdar uses the word Empire for its designation

Majumdar's statement is not alone the factor that decides the title. Commonly used per Ngram is "Gajapatis of Orissa".--

@
ImperialAficionado, Most of the historians used the suffix of Empire for denoting Gajapti, hence the title of Gajapati Empire is correct. We cannot change the title or identity of a state just due to Ngram
See WP: Rs for the name setting
Mishra, Patit Paban (11 January 2016). "Eastern Ganga and Gajapati empires".

Oppose: Better if it'd be renamed as Gajapati Kingdom per recent
Ngram searches as it is widely used rather than Gajapatis of Orrisa or Gajapati Empire.
Smoothened view of Ngram
[2] leads "Gajapatis of Orissa".
Imperial[AFCND] 10:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Nuh uh, Smoothened view of recent
Ngram searches widely used Gajapati Kingdom rather than Gajapatis of Orrisa or Gajapati Empire.

I am okay with either "Gajapatis of Orissa" or "Gajapati Kingdom". Incase of case sensitive, Gajapatis of Orissa only have an Ngram.

ImperialAficionado I think you guys know the difference between Kingdom and an empire just because of Ngram. You can't destroy the imperial historicity of a power. It would be better to use Gajapati Empire only. User:Rawn3012|Rawn3012]] (

What are you talking about? You just voted to oppose the name "Gajapatis of Orissa", and now you're saying "It would be better to use Gajapatis of Orissa".

Now you edited
(1)"Gajapatis of orissa" to "Gajapati empire".

I think you saw an old edit, I mistyped it. Have corrected too.

Oppose per
WP:PRECISE, article titles are supposed to be unambiguous, the proposed change would make the title more ambiguous not less. //

Gajapati Empire → ? – Gajapati dynasty and Gajapati Kingdom are the
WP:COMMONNAME and
WP:NPOV. Besides it seems to be a trend in India-related history articles for everything to be "empires", which obviously not right and problematic. Source per ngram
[3].

Oppose, @
PadFoot2008 I think you guys have to provide
WP: RS for your new name suggestion else it may not be considered.
Rawn3012 (
talk) 16:42, 13 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Oppose for now. I think the nom should provide a source evaluation.
@
TimothyBlue and @
Based Kashmiri, Look at this ngram
[4]. The Gajapati Empire has extremely low usage compared to the Gajapatis and Gajapati dynasty.
