RM, Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay → Saradindu Bandyopadhyay, Not moved, 22 March 2021, Discussion

Requested move 13 February 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. By this point, the weak consensus to not move is strong enough for a close considering the twice relisting and long open duration of the request. (non-admin closure) ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 13:35, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning oppose. My brief search gets more Google hits and Google News hits for the current spelling. BD2412 T 03:25, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412 I don't know whether Wikipedia has any specific term for that, but I do think what you've encountered is result of some circular effect, which is to say that most Indian publications just blindly copy-pasted the spelling from the Wikipedia page throughout the years. The researcher here has in fact met Bandyopadhyay multiple times and the subject of that scholarly paper is no one else but Bandyopadhyay himself. So I don't really see why Hatcher himself would't get the spelling of his subject's name right. 157.40.243.39 (talk) 08:46, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We call it citogenesis, and it is indeed seen as a problem by some. But in cases such as this, any proposed solution is worse than the disease. The fact that Wikipedia may have influenced the common name is irrelevant; That is unprovable and in any case the damage is done. Andrewa (talk) 09:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Nom appears to think that primary sources should take precedence. In fact it's the opposite; They have little relevance. So we should go with BD2412's searches. Andrewa (talk) 09:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
