Provisional Government of Bangladesh → Mujibnagar GovernmentMujibnagar Government – it's the popular term in Bangladesh academic books also according to Google trends

- What evidence do you have that it's the popular term in Bangladesh academic books? (And what do you mean by "Bangladesh academic books" — academic books published in Bangladesh, books written by Bangladeshi academics, academic books about Bangladesh, ...)?
- What do you think Google trends is telling us, and how does that relate to the policy Wikipedia:Article titles? Contrast Google trends with Google Ngram Viewer, which suggests that "Provisional Government of Bangladesh" is the more common term in books and has been 60% of the time, although not for the two decades from 1994 to 2013. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:47, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- By academic books I meant the books of NCTB and the Mujibnagar Government is most popular term in Bangladesh. Even the current Chief Advisor of Bangladesh used this term. Also the sources given in this article mostly it says Mujibnagar Government and says it's the popular common term.

- Oppose I agree that both names are used. Wikipedia is a worldwide encyclopedia and takes a world view. It does not choose its article titles based on any one country's current schoolbooks or what name the present leader of the country has used recently in a tweet.
- Google Trends can provide insight into general trends in search terms, but that is not how Wikipedia determines a topic's common name. To quote the policy, it is "as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources." Search engine queries are not independent reliable sources.
- My own evaluation, looking at Google Ngram Viewer and about 125 books (from academic publishers) and peer reviewed journal articles, is that Provisional Government of Bangladesh is used 55-60% of the time. That is not a huge margin, and could shift in time, but Mujibnagar Government is not now the common name. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- This is what the advisor of libration war affairs said.
