WP:SURNAME

Why is the article referring to her as "Malathi" throughout? Are Indians known by their first name only? Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Yoninah. Malathi Chendur has 2 surnames. Before marriage her surname was unknown, after marrying Nageswar Rao Chendur her surname changed to Chendur. So I continued using Malathi instead of using two different names in different sections.Naga sai sravanth (talk) 08:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's not in keeping with WP:SURNAME. It is also derogatory to call women by their first names and men not. She can be called Malathi as a girl, but after marriage her name is Chandur. Yoninah (talk) 12:33, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
