-@all members:
As of recently, there has been a trend whereby minor name updates of Trains/Stations - whether such and such regional name should be there or not, whether the train should be called "Abc Express" or "Abc Superfast Express", etc. are threatening to take over the majority of Timeline entries. Also, as of recently, these issues have started flooding the FM Forum - whether the train name should have the tag "SF" or not, whether Regional language should be blank if the train starts from Mumbai and the Marathi name is written exactly the same as the Hindi name, etc.

We need to put a stop to this obsession with getting the name "exactly right" and having long, unending debates about names. Pl. understand that 99.9% of our travellers do not come to IRI to scrutinize train/station names with a microscope. They don't care if you call the train "Abc Express" or "Abc SF Express". If we get the name "somewhat right", then it is FINE. On the other hand, this phenomenon is taking ALL of our focus and energies away from useful and meaningful site updates.
.
TLMs have been advised that hereafter Trivial name updates should be summarily rejected and voided.
.
Thanks for everyone's cooperation.

Sir, decision is very much welcome,
I think(my opinion, for this issue):-
as there are 3 columns:- English(Remain Same), Hindi(Remain Same) and Regional Language.
for Regional Language,
1) There should be regional languages defined

for each region/state on IRI.
In Regional Language field:-
2) Except Hindi and English, every language is accepted, which is defined in Point 1.
3) if both, source and destination stations are not from Hindi lang. region(eg. south and North-east Indian states including Gujrat,Goa and Maharashtra) then there should be format as follow for Regional Language:-
"SOURCE STATE LANGUAGE / DESTINATION STATE LANGUAGE"
4) if regional language is Hindi/English then Regional Language will be blank.
(This concept should apply for both, Train names and station names)

Re# 2155798-17              
Dear #moderator sir .. if there is no need to add or remove a SF tag to a train in IRI .. then it should be done to all 994 Superfast Trains in IRI .. some are written SF while some are not .. Either it should be tagged as SF train to all 994 trains .. else all 994 trains tags should be removed .. i have seen few SF are with SF tag while few are not ..
If u Apply then do it for all 994 SF trains .. Else remove the SF tags to the trains which has that SF tag ... there should not be like isko SF tag hai to isko kyu nahi ...
...

Rahe to sabko nahi toh kisiko nahi ..

As per the train naming conventions we should stick to indianrail.gov.in official website to avoid any confusion among rare users of iri website for english names.
This debate could have been avoided earlier had TLM not voided timeline citing the reason that train name incorrect/improper, they should have voided them citing the reason 'not required' or something like that
