I've done what I can to improve the History of the City, but someone needs to add current political and economic information. I'm not really qualified. Sikandarji17:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have added important information to the infobox like government changes, distances etc. Further more i have added Transportation, Education, Places of interest Sub headings. If any other place of interest or education is known to any other user he/she may add. This page needs more improvement. Thanks! Shawrix (talk) 10:31, 7 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Looks good. Please check the references, there are many "according to whom" in the article. Make sure that such sentences which seem to be opinion of someone, either do not exist or mentions who said it, with references.--GDibyendu (talk) 10:43, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– Clearly WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In Google Books search for "Rampur", all results returned are for Uttar Pradesh's Rampur. Apparently, no results there for places outside Uttar Pradesh which are also called Rampur. Also on Google search, and Google News, when "Rampur" is searched, virtually all of the results returned are for Uttar Pradesh's Rampur. Even if the disambiguator "Uttar Pradesh" with this title was meant to be used to difference this topic from Rampur district or the former Rampur State, then it does not disambiguate at all, because the city, and the district and former state named after it, all are located in present-day Uttar Pradesh.

Ambiguous with what? If Rampur State is recognizable enough to refer to the former state of which Rampur city was the capital, then I don't see how "Rampur" can not be recognizable enough. Khestwol (talk) 08:02, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

– Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and Google Books search which returns results only for Uttar Pradesh's Rampur city (which this article is about). I think not enough discussion had taken place previously, because the only oppose !voter there did not even answer my logical question to him. I hope for more participation from people familiar with the topic. Khestwol (talk) 14:12, 16 February 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.Jerm (talk) 17:56, 23 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support. A city, and the former seat of Rampur State. No-one looking for the state will be hurt by landing on the article about the modern city. Nothing else on the DAB page seems to come close in terms of long-term significance (WP:PTOPIC#2); an argument supported by this 2019 pageview analysis of the most likely topics on the DAB page (PTOPIC#1). Narky Blert (talk) 18:51, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you Narky Blert. The analysis indeed shows that only Rampur city has a long-term significance as compared to anything else on the disambiguation page. Khestwol (talk) 02:31, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, same as last time, highly ambiguous as revealed by the DAB page and googling. There are many "Rampur"s, both historically and currently. Many are not even in India. Rampur, Uttar Pradesh is not close to being the largest by population. Wikipedia does not cater just for readers interested in the most popular topics, and the proposed move would draw all Rampur-interested readers into this one specific topic. Those interested in other Rampurs will be obviously mis-serviced, and those interested in this Rampur are likely to have their mistaken belief of its dominance reinforced. On the other side, no reader interested in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh is the least bit inconvenienced by ", Uttar Pradesh" being in the title, in what would otherwise be title whitespace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:54, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it is interesting, not reliable, and I suspect it is reflecting systematic bias. A careful look through the current article references (noting they need more work than the title, some references don't name the topic) reveals that almost always Rampur is used under the pre-established context of Uttar Pradesh. Too many places named Rampur are not in Uttar Pradesh, or even in India. Ghits have systematic bias for India over Nepal and Bangladesh. The systematic bias of cultural dominance should be resisted. Also, the page move helps no reader, but hurts the few readers interested in the foreign Rampurs. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose Rampur in the historical literature, the Rampur of the Rohillas, of the Rampur hounds, of the Rampur Raza Library, is as much a reference to the principality, or the minor state, as it is to the village/town/city which was its so-called capital. This page move is a nonstarter, a waste of everyone's time. Fowler&fowler«Talk»14:22, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
