IMHO, I do not think that the merger with Santhome needs to be carried out. This is because both Santhome and St. Thomas Mount areseparate places in Chennai - hence they need not be merged. Let two articles exist. But because they seem to have a shared history, may be we can add a 'See also' reference to each other.The Silent Contributor09:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I shall carry out the merger ofSaint Thomas Mount with this article on the 2nd of September, if nobody has any objections. If you do have any objections, post them here or onmy talk page.The Silent Contributor 14:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC) Done!!The Silent Contributor08:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from Chennai (Madras) and these two are very distinct places there. They are around 10kms apart with different other neighbourhoods in-between. In Chennai, there is no confusion between these two areas. I do agree, that "See also" may be appropriate because of the name relationship.07:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The article says that Thomas the Apostle is "mistakenly understood to be attained martyrdom here in Chennai", but doesn't provide references for either the "understanding" or the evidence that it's a mistake.— Precedingunsigned comment added byFrancispotter (talk •contribs)05:10, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Francispotter There is in the first instance no credible evidence provided for the alleged fact that St Thomas the Apostle attained martyrdom here in Chennai. Even the Catholic Church in Vatican doesn't recognise that.2A01:4B00:942F:9600:74EA:8EEF:F434:662B (talk)21:55, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parangi in tamil refers to Portugese missionaries. From the records of a church in Trichy which had been administered for 400 years by Portugese missionaries, I have noted the word for Portugese missionaires used is Parangi saamiyargal . The word might be from Hindi Firangi meaning foreign. ST. Thomas mount also has a 500 year old church built by Portugesese and has many convents, so the name might refer to Portugese and not Sage Birungi.— Precedingunsigned comment added byAquinas87 (talk •contribs) 10:18, 5 October 2012‎

Parangimalai (பரங்கிமலை) in Tamil language exists and not in English. Whereas St. Thomas Mount in English is so called as பரங்கிமலை (Parangimalai) in Tamil language.

So, 'St. Thomas Mount' as the article title will be more suitable and hence it is to be considered.

Parangimalai is the native name and is also used widely and hence come underWP:COMMONNAME. Even the suburban railway station of the region bears the name officially.Rasnaboy (talk)01:57, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, very dubious move - St. Thomas Mount remains the common name in English even with a cursory glance (including the local station)AlbusWulfricDumbledore (talk)00:27, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
