Sayed Esmail Hosseini → Esmaeil Hosseini – Sayed/Seyed is just a title, not an actual part of the name. that's the correct name. Mohsen1248 (talk) 05:03, 2 November 2014 (UTC) Mohsen1248 (talk) 05:03, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What source(s) do you have for this? Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 09:48, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's asking source for an obvious thing (Obvious for Iranian users though). Read the article Sayyid, I can give some examples like this one Ali Khamenei or Mohammad Khatami, they are all "Seyed/Sayed/Seyyed" but that's not in article names, there are countless examples like that, those are just two famous examples. Mohsen1248 (talk)

It's not obvious to anyone else though. You saying it is doesn't cut it. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:49, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt you even read what I wrote. Mohsen1248 (talk) 18:30, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So you don't have anything to back up your disruptive page moves? Thought not. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:17, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The implication is that WP:HONORIFIC applies here. Dekimasuよ! 19:18, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should the new name be Esmail Hosseini? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's also possible, but Esmaeil is more common transliteration for the Persian name of "اسماعیل" which is his name. Mohsen1248 (talk) 00:52, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nominator (or delete the article, since it fails WP:GNG). The sourcing for the article is very thin, and the nominator seems to know of what they speak. —BarrelProof (talk) 01:43, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
