Talk:Irrfan Khan

What's with the move?!

Can anyone explain why this page was moved from Irfan Khan (actor) to Irrfan Khan? His name is not "IRRFAN" --Maurice45 (talk) 18:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree partially. further the following edit means something totally different from what the cited article says: Under Personal Life: Recently, he has changed his name to Irrfan citing that he does not want to identify himself with a particular community and that he considers acting as an art form above human divisions. He also said he likes the sound of the extra "r" in his name.

Article Referenced: "I am Irrfan, just Irrfan. I have taken out Khan from my name quite some time ago," the actor said from Mumbai. "I do not want to be known by my religion, surname or lineage. I don't want to be recognised for what my forefathers did." The actor, whose name is Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan, says likes the sound of the two 'R's as they roll on the tongue. "I always thought ' Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan' was too pompous."

Further on his own official website, he refers to his name as Irrfan Khan (in the title) original name as: sahabzade irrfan ali khan and screen name: irrfan

This whole ending paragraph seems to be taken out of context — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.49.251.113 (talk) 16:05, 19 February 2013 (UTC) Next time ill definitely sign my comments :) 75.49.251.113 (talk) 16:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

History tracking

This actor's article has traversed several pages. Here is an attempt to capture its history.

[1] Started as Irfan Khan on 17:54, 24 December 2004 (UTC) by User:Vogon77 after over-writing a redirect to a cricketer of the same name.

[2] Profile of a producer-director of the same name got into the article on 19:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC) added by anon 203.115.88.214. The page was not made a disambiguation page however.

[3] Redirected to new disambiguated page Irfan Khan (actor) on 21:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC) by User:Chirags, probably hoping that someone will write an article on the director and make "Irfan Khan" a disambiguation page.

[4] Moved to an existing redirect Irrfan Khan via cut and paste on 19:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC) by User:Shshshsh.

Not sure if the page histories can be merged. If not, for any history prior to 26 Jan 2008, look into Irfan Khan (actor). Jay (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I've merged the histories. All history is now available at Irrfan Khan. Jay (talk) 20:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
