News reference from The Hindu : https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/kerala-assembly-unanimously-passes-resolution-to-change-official-name-of-state-to-keralam/article67175490.ece
Kerala Assembly unanimously passes resolution to change official name of State to ‘Keralam’.
Also, the name of the state in Malayalam is Keralam and not kerala. Kerala is some englished version of the name Keralam. In all malayalam texts it is keralam.
As this is officially made, It should be changed here as well Afv12e (talk) 04:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Name change - Why restricting ? Other articles has changed already for other places
[edit]The name of Wikipedia article allahabad is changed to Prayagraj once government changed the name officially. Why not this is happening for Kerala to Keralam in Wikipedia ? Afv12e (talk) 03:53, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Because the name is not changed. After the name change, it needs to fulfil WP:NAMECHANGES criteria — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 07:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- It need to be passed by the Parliament.Now only Kerala legislative assembly have passed.Name is not changed yet.. Tmanthara (talk) 12:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

About the article being too long
[edit]Its been a long while since the page has been tagged too long. Shouldn't we do something about it? Adr28382 (talk) 16:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Adr28382, it's a mammoth task. It's on my to do list, but any editor willing can start right off before a GA review comes in. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:41, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Adr28382, I have reduced the prose to less than 15k. Hope that helps.
Anyone else interested, feel free to reduce it further and/or add back the removed prose if required. Thanks and happy editing. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:05, 16 August 2024 (UTC)- The Herald, Thanks for your help! Adr28382 (talk) 10:28, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
