Rename this article as ' Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award'.

As we all educated folks know , Prime minister of India Narendra Modi renamed this ' Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award' as Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award. This article's heading title also have to be change as ' Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award' and give due respect to Major dhyanchand, the wizard. Newton Euro (talk) 12:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

This awards name is Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award, why it's not renamed here yet. Newton Euro (talk) 19:29, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Newton Euro The articles are named according to the article titles policy. You can start a move request and discuss why the article should be moved to the new name. -- DaxServer (talk) 19:32, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Rajiv Gandhi Khel RatnaKhel Ratna Award – The name of the award has been officially changed to Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award so using its previous title makes no sense. But according to WP:NAMECHANGES, we should give weight to reliable sources. A simple google search of Khel Ratna Award (#) and Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award (#) shows same result, which satisfy WP:COMMONNAME. In future it can be renamed to Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, if it would be commonly used by reliable sources. -ink&fables «talk» 08:24, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

A concern

I have noticed that the phrase "Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna" has been changed to "Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna" at the articles of Khel Ratna Awardees, who were awarded the Ratna before the renaming. I suggest that it should be changed back to Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, as they were awarded the "Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna" not the "Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna" (see inscription here).

Peter Ormond, yes, if they were awarded prior to the name change, they should have the name of the prior award. However, it may be easier to just clarify, using phrasing like "the Khel Ratna, (known at the time as the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna)" — Shibbolethink ( ) 14:43, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
