Orissa State Film AwardsOdisha State Film Awards – Resulting from move of "Orissa" to "Odisha" following Requested move process. The page was moved by another editor, but reverted by another on the grounds that the discussion at Talk:Odisha had no relevance to this article. The discussion is relevant as citations given in this article refer to "Odisha State Film Awards", and point out they are awarded by the Government of Odisha. This page should therefore follow the pattern of all other "Orissa" articles and move to "Odisha". Skinsmoke (talk) 06:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, I want this article to be moved, but I can't vote for it while the only official Odisha government source mentioned anywhere in the article (as far as I can see) calls them the "Orissa State Film Awards". elvenscout742 (talk) 07:38, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Must admit, I have searched the Government of Odisha's website for some reference since the name of the state changed (any reference would do), but can only find the term State Film Awards. However, there are a few (not necessarily reliable) websites that indicate that Odisha State Film Awards is now the more common name. I can find more references to Orissa State Film Awards, but they all relate to awards prior to the change of the state's name. Videos of the event don't help either, because the signage is all in Oriya. Skinsmoke (talk) 11:00, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good, that indicates that indeed the name has changed and the official sources are just slow to update. But Wikipedia should, by necessity, be slower still. elvenscout742 (talk) 04:05, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
