The name "WikiConference India" was selected by the community through simple majority. The discussion began on this page (url:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiConference_India_2011) and has now been archived here (url :

For the record, the votes were as follows -
* WikiMela (& variants) - 8 support, 1 oppose
* WikiConference India - 14 support, 2 oppose
* WikiUtsav - 2 support
* WikiMania India - 2 support, 5 oppose
* WikiBharati - 1 support
Those who feel that WikiMela would be more evocative, creative and brandworthy may consider Harriet's suggestion to :
"within India use locally understood names appropriately to brand events like Utsav for the After Conference Party..or Mela for Wiki community meets."
