Disagree Although some people might still refer to it by its former name, it is best to refer to it by its current name as to avoid further confusion esp. to people not familiar with the former name. Markoolio97 (talk) 07:17, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Buendia is still the common name for the road. The official name could still be mentioned in the lead and Infobox, and people searching for Gil Puyat Avenue will still get redirected to this article.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 22:19, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Question: Why not do a redirection of Buendia Avenue to Gil Puyat Avenue instead of renaming the article? Markoolio97 (talk) 00:06, 5 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
The redirect already exist, WP:COMMONNAME gives preference to commonly recognized names, not necessarily the official ones as article title. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 01:10, 5 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Given that (1) the surrounding landmarks, signages still bear the old name of the avenue (e.g. Buendia Flyover, Buendia railway station, Buendia sign along EDSA), and (2) government Agencies like the MMDA and local transportation still refer to the thoroughfare as Buendia, it seems that it applies for WP:COMMONNAME then.

Oppose. "Gil Puyat Avenue" (1,370,000 results) vs. "Buendia Avenue" (47,100 results). No personal preference here but the current title indeed is the most common name. As per the most common name in signages: The entire stretch of the avenue in the Pasay side bears this name exclusively, and in the Makati side: the most visible is still Gil Puyat or its variations, with Buendia as just the alternative.Gil Puyat Avenue in Urdaneta VillageGil Puyat Avenue in Pio del Pilar (Chino Roces) Pics from the stretch of the avenue in the Makati CBD.
