Dear User:Northamerica1000, the name Maira Amjad Ali is/was the correct name and there is a village/town of this name in this region and there's no 'Maira Jamad Ali' here. Could you please revert to the original name and talk page? Thanks Khani100 (talk) 18:57, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100

{{done}}. Article has been renamed back to Maira Amjad Ali. I wonder why English language websites and sources refer to it as Maira Jamād Ali?

Keep. Government-recognized/census-designated populated places are inherently notable. The existence can be confirmed through sources on Pakistani Government website ([http://www.ecp.gov.pk/PS/NA/NA-20.pdf example]). utcursch | talk 05:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Keep - Per WP:FIVEPILLARS, Wikipedia also functions as a gazetteer. Also see sources I have provided above. Northamerica1000^(talk) 02:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Keep per utcursch. Perhaps the lack of info is due to having such resources in their native language. I'll ask WP Pakistan if they could help --Lenticel ^(talk) 03:35, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The correct name is Mera Amjad Ali. I belong to that place that's why I know. The name being spelled differently is due to the fact that many people shorten names during speech. Just as some people refer to "Geoffry" simply as "Geoff". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aamir aw (talk • contribs) 05:38, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The Urdu spelling is {{Nastaliq||میرا امجد علی}} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aamir aw (talk • contribs) 05:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
