According to Wikipedia, Bangalore was officially renamed to Bengaluru on Nov 1, 2014:
The Union government have approved (along with other 12 cities) this request in October 2014 and Bangalore was renamed to "Bengaluru" on November 1, 2014.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore

The toponym already has the Bengaluru names, but I couldn't make them preferred, it gives the "you are not allowed to update this alt name" error.

I tried creating a new one and deleting the old one, but I couldn't delete either, "The record you want to edit is locked for updates for userlevel1"

Please delete the "Bengalur - delete this" alternate name, as I couldn't even delete the name I just created.

Thanks,
Magnus
