– per WP:COMMONNAME:

An user had changed the title without discussion. Even the Turkish Language Association changed its orthography (tanbur was changed to tambur), Proper nouns must not be changed. Tanburi Cemil Bey is a proper noun and common name in English language. Tanburi Cemil Bey died in 1916 and in the Ottoman language, طنبورى (Tanburi, Tanbûrî) was common use.

Cf. In Arabic.

  • Question - Hi Takabeg, the move from "n" to "m" was in 2009 and is in line with spelling of tambur so the lack of discussion of the move is not that relevant now. What's more of a question I guess is why we need "tanburi/tamburi" in front of the name at all. Sure I understand that it's traditional as WP:HONORIFIC with famous instrumentalists to prefix with the instrument in this manner, but there are still plenty of English sources which say "musician... Cemil Bey." I would feel more comfortable with simply a move to Cemil Bey (which already redirects here). Can you comment on why it is important to add "tamburi"? Do we have many other musician articles that prefix the instrument in this manner? Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:19, 24 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
There were many Cemil Beys. But I think "Cemil Bey" is also possible. Takabeg (talk) 05:27, 24 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Okay well, thanks, I support that as first choice if possible please. There others, but he is the only Cemil Bey on tr.wp. Thanks again. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Relisting comment Due to an error with the initial listing, it appeared that this request had already been carried out. Given that and the low discussion so far, relisting seems appropriate. --BDD (talk) 17:36, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Support move to Cemil Bey as suggested by IIO and accepted by nom. This already redirects here. Andrewa (talk) 06:02, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Cemil BeyTanburi Cemil Bey – Per WP:COMMONNAME and "Cemil Bey" is a very common name for people, making the current title problematic. There is Mehmed Cemil Bey, Mesut Cemil (which entering "Cemil Bey" also returns on the Internet), and so on. Cemil Bey simply applies to any Ottoman personality named Cemil. People will also scratch their head for just "Cemil Bey," and I have not encountered a single source that calls "Tanburi Cemil Bey" just "Cemil Bey."

  • Oppose. Granted there are other articless including two mentioned above which might be called this or have redirects to them, no case has been made against this person being the primary topic in English. Hatnotes should point to the others. Andrewa (talk) 15:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
