Qutb Minar?
Note: I am an Indian

As far as I know, the actual spelling of "Qutb Minar" is "Qutub Minar", because it is spelled like "कुतुब मीनार" in Hindi. It means, it has an "u" spelling twice.

 * A simple google search yields different spellings: Qutb, Qutub, and Qutab. Wikipedia's spelling of it is "Qutb", so I think maybe sticking to WP's title is best as the name seems to differ among various sources. Wouldn't you think so?

 * Personally, I would use "Qutub" since that is a more Indian-ish way of saying it (through Qutab is also common; I've personally never heard "Qutb Minar"). But I guess it's the same thing as Ganges (called as Ganga in India). Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 21:34, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting input. On further thought: The WP article seems to also contradict itself in terms of spelling as the article title is spelled, "Qutb", but the bolded word is spelled, "Qutub".


 * I'd like to see, now, what has to say. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 01:08, 29 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Neither "Qutab" nor "Qutb" spelling I have heard in my spare time. When I read this section, I thought it is a typo.

 * Fwiw:
 * There is an explanation of en.wp's choice at w:Talk:Qutb Minar.
 * The Commons category has "Qutb", but it looks as if most of the images in the category have "Qutub".
 * The vibe I'm picking up from all this (within nothing but the wiki discussions to go on; I've neither physical nor cultural proximity) is that it's "Qutub" in practice, and "Qutb" is officialdom denying reality.
