I have renamed the article to Mohali district per WP:COMMONNAME, because that is how reliable media, books, newspapers etc commonly address this district even in the current month (e.g. Times of India [1]). Google News search for "Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar district" gave only 5 results whereas search for "Mohali district" gave 8,350 results. --DBig Xrayᗙ 17:16, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Searching for "Mohali district" returns articles from reliable sources vs "Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar district" barely returns any reliable sources using it, while "SAS Nagar district" is a bit better but not as frequent and recent as Mohali district — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 18:34, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
