Regarding name change

@245CMR: Should we change name from Vaishno Devi Temple to Vaishno Devi Temple, Katra in order to avoid confusion among various temples of Vaishno Devi with similar name. - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 11:12, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MRRaja001: No, this Vaishno Devi is the Primary topic, both in terms of popularity and research..245CMR.•^👥📜 11:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change of article name

I want to raise my voice for changing the name of this article/page from Vaishno Devi Temple to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Temple. She is the divine goddess and mother of the universe. It's totally unfair to write her name without respect. Instead all official government services includes the full name 'Shri Mata Vaishno Devi' for example - Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Railway Station etc. We must pay respects to the great goddess. So in this regard, I would like other editors to weigh on this topic and make a change soon if possible. Also we need to have it changed for the main article of 'Vaishno Devi' depicting the great goddess. Keshavv1234 (talk) 20:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for semi protection of this article

It has been seen in recent days that this article is being deliberately spoiled by some users. Therefore I request that it should be protected under semi protection to stop vandalism for a long period of time. 103.199.226.76 (talk) 10:18, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. Vandalism on something considered sacred should be serious offence. Lalamenesingh (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
