Nipani → Nippani – Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically. Parzee (talk) 16:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Kannada Wikipedia refers the Taluk as ನಿಪ್ಪಾಣಿ

Nipani is a colonial term and a mis-pronounciation.

It is high-time, English Wikipedia too uses the word right Nippani.

Kindly consider these data points and do accept the proposal.

Nipani → Nippani – as per above rataionale given by user:Gangasoonu and actual name of City, requesting rename --~aanzx · ✉ · © 02:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 10:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Comment, Ngrams does still have Nipani ahead (assuming both names are primary to this article). Not sure why GT when combining the two terms leads to Nippani being much lower. However in the past year there have been 51 Nipani articles and 391 Nippani articles on Google News. We don't follow official use but common use by independent not gov-affiliated sources. However, per MOS:TIES (and Talk:Bengaluru) then the name commonly used in Indian English, not English internationally, should be prioritised. Stuggled to find clear evidence pointing either way. Regardless of the outcome of this RM, the alt spelling should be mentioned in the lead secondarily. DankJae 19:23, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
