Divakar Sharma → Diwakar Sharma – This individual spelled his name as Diwakar Sharma --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 15:10, 27 July 2013 (UTC) SUSHRUTA (talk) 00:36, 13 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oppose The proposed title is an article on another individual. I'm adding hatnotes to both articles. Per WP:TWODABS, this should deal with any potential confusion. --BDD (talk) 18:14, 22 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
However, if it's true that this person used the Diwakar spelling, this page would still need to be moved to something like Diwakar Sharma (linguist). The Library of Congress links seem to use the transcription "Divākara", though. Jafeluv (talk) 06:53, 5 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

But if he used both forms, better to use WP:NATURAL disambiguation and hatnotes. --BDD (talk) 03:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. BDDs solution seems at least as good as any... give the name used by scholars to the scholar, and the name used by the popular singer's fans to the popular singer. Neat. If and when we get other articles to disambiguate under these names, revisit then. Andrewa (talk) 07:54, 10 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
