Talk:Vasco da Gama, Goa

Population statistics

edit

Vasco is not Goa's largest town. Margao is definitely larger. Could you cite the source for this claim. Also you can't call Vasco a city. There are only two main streets. The population of 100,000 is credible only if you include Mormugao, Mangor, Chicalim, New Vaddem and Zuarinagar, all of which are outside town limits.

Requested move 6 December 2015

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. Would need evidence that after the name change (if that indeed happened at all other than in a bureaucratic entry, unbeknownst to the residents), it was being called that as the common name, though we would give more weight to sources written after the name change.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:48, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply


Vasco da Gama, GoaSambhaji, Goa – It appears that Vasco Da Gama was already officially renamed as Sambhaji in 1971. Present government is implementing that decision[1] Sarvagyana guru (talk) 02:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
