@Cinema Clown and Born2cycle: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:55, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This page has had enough moves in the last few years for any move to be considered "potentially controversial" at this point.

- Now this request from Cinema Clown: Sameer Anjaan (lyricist) → Sameer Anjaan no point in using brackets as no other notable person with the same name exists

The real question is whether the title should be Sameer (lyricist) or Sameer Anjaan --В²C ☎ 22:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Throughout his career, he has been credited as both "Sameer" and "Sameer Anjaan." His verified Twitter page has only "Sameer" as the display name (note: the username is sameeranjaan), while his verified Facebook page has "Sameer Anjaan." Here are the reasons why I think "Sameer Anjaan" should be the preferred title: a) His Guinness World Records entry lists him as "Sameer Anjaan." b) His birth name is Shitla Pandey. Sameer is a pseudonym. Lyricist Anjaan was his father. I do think using your father's name beside your own pseudonym establishes the fact that he indeed wishes to be known like that. Why credit him as "Sameer Anjaan" if he himself hasn't used that in the first place? Cinema Clown (talk) 05:26, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination and subsequent detailed elucidation regarding the use of "Anjaan" as WP:NATURALDIS. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:06, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Although in the film credits he is credited only as Sameer, but I won't mind if the page be moved to Sameer Anjaan. Tolly 4 bolly 13:07, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
