831:“Murdeshwar” is my hometown. We were part of an underdeveloped region until two decades ago. Even people from other parts of our own state Karnataka did not know about my town Murdeshwar. Suddenly, the government started promoting tourism and tourists slowly started visiting my town, which was otherwise a rural place that did not even used to get a single outsider on a typical day. We locally write the name of the town as “Murdeshwar”, which is the official name of my home town. Railways, Bus Stand, Banks, Post Office and government agencies all use the spelling Murdeshwar. 905: 906:

The statistics above are still valid - the common use is the current name. The use of one form by one government agency is not sufficient evidence, given that other government agencies differ (government agencies will normally use any acceptable form that is generally used). 1186:, I have always supported correct spelling for this place. Being someone who grew up in coastal Karnataka state, I know for sure that this place is spelled and pronounced as “Murdeshwar”. Unfortunately, a few outsiders have been dictating what the spelling of this town should be. I strongly support moving this page to “Murdeshwar”. 842:
I invite all experts on Knowledge (XXG) and matured netizens to come together to help fix the spelling of my home town Murdeshwar. Just because a person wrongly mentioned it as “Murudeshwara” during the initial days of internet age, we should not allow the wrong spelling to hijack the original name.

This has recently been moved from Murudeshwara to Murudeshwar with the reason 'as per Karnataka government'. This is not a valid reason in Knowledge (XXG) terms. Usage checks on Google books show Murudeshwar, Karnataka outnumbered by Murudeshwara, Kar. by 105 to 195. This article should therefore be

One fine day, an outsider came to my home town as a tourist and wrote an online article about his trip to Murdeshwar. He probably could not remember the actual spelling of my town and mentioned it in his article as “Murudeshwara”. The advent of the internet coupled with no online presence of
880:(Murdeshwar) and its 118 hits. This suggests that the local name is as it is written now. Or are you saying that all these local speakers write it one way but say it differently? Are you sure it is not just the circles that you move in that says it differently. 386:
Imc, you are vandalizing articles by changing the spelling to sound like Kannada names. Kindly revert your changes. It is Murudeshwar and not Murudeshwara. As mentioned earlier to you, your edits are questionable and eligible for revert. They will be reverted

I contacted many of these travel related websites and they are saying that they will change the spelling only after Knowledge (XXG) changes “Murudeshwara” to “Murdeshwar”. They have asked me to update them once Knowledge (XXG) updates the spelling.

Murdeshwar gave birth to article “Murudeshwara” on Knowledge (XXG). Now that most travel websites consider Knowledge (XXG) as a de facto standard, they have adopted the wrong spelling “Murudeshwara” on their websites too.

The reasoning here is about the use in English wikipedia hence it needs to depend on English sources, so the following is just supporting my previous argument (in the move request above). A search for the Kannada name

The matter of 'wrong spelling' is somewhat subjective. But we need to go on the evidence, as shown by general usage. It would be interesting to know who this one writer in English that had so much influence

Respected Sir/Madam, All locals and the entire Uttara Kannada district uses it as ಮುರ್ಡೇಶ್ವರ್. The term ಮುರುಡೇಶ್ವರ was used in old Kannada. Please see the photo evidence of its usage at Railway station.
