"in America's division" edit

He was said in our article to have worked "in America's division of India's Ministry of External Affairs". "America's" couldn't be correct, so I verified the real name of the division. It was just the apostrophe that was wrong: it is "AMS [Americas] Division" as shown in this table. "AMS" being meaningless to readers, I altered our text to "in the Americas division".

S. JaishankarSubrahmanyam Jaishankar – This was previously moved on the basis of WP:COMMONNAME, but I'm not exactly sure that the basis for that move was sound. A quick sampling online shows that there are a lot of media sources that refer to him as "Subrahmanyam Jaishankar", including:

  1. WION
  2. Times of Israel
  3. New Zealand Herald
  4. Anadolu Agency
  5. South China Morning Post
  6. Reuters
  7. Times Now
  8. Associate Press (via ABC News)
  9. Asia Times
  10. Australia's ABC News
  11. India Today

While there are definitely sources that use the first letter rather than the full name, it doesn't look to me like there is a preponderance of such sources. As the full name is more natural and precise, it looks like this should be moved to include his patronymic in full. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 18:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 02:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Strong Oppose You provide no statistic to suggest that Subramanyam Jaishankar is a WP:COMMONNAME.
  1. Here Google Trends suggests that S Jaishankar has always been a COMMONNAME at any given point of time.
  2. Pageviews suggest that after the aforementioned move was made on 28 Feb 2021, the readers found it upto a 100x easier to reach this article due to it clearly being a COMMONNAME.>>> Extorc.talk 21:04, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Is that right? edit

He did graduation in Chemistry means he did B.Sc Chemistry, then how can he do M.A. ? Is that true? According to my information B.Sc graduate can not take admission in MA.Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 15:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
