Requested move 19 August 2021
Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa → Praggnanandhaa – With respect to WP:COMMONNAME clause. All cited sources in the article unanimously address the subject as Praggnanandhaa, hence it should be the title. Also Here Appu (talk) 11:42, 19 August 2021 (UTC) Appu (talk) 11:42, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- That's not true at all: the majority of the cited references use either the initial R. or, less commonly, the full patronymic Rameshbabu. I count only four where neither is used: [1][2][3][4]. All the pages listed on the first page of the Google News search results Appu provides also use the initial except for Chess.com which uses Rameshbabu, but none refer to him with just the given name. I support a move to R. Praggnanandhaa which from the foregoing appears to be the most common way his name is presented. It's also the preference of ChessBase India:[5][6][7]. In his GM title application to FIDE (his profile is here), he also used just R. rather than the full patronymic. I cannot support dropping the patronymic completely.
- As an aside, it appears that his sister's name is also rarely given with the full patronymic, but usually as R. Vaishali or Vaishali R. Cobblet (talk) 15:26, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- I support a move to R. Praggnanandhaa. --- Vysotsky (talk) 18:57, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Move to R. Praggnanandhaa per Cobblet. -- Ab207 (talk) 14:42, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose I'm not sure how much of the elision of the family name is Indian naming tradition, and how much is concern for the privacy of a minor. Regardless, I can't support a mononym here without better evidence; neutral on R. Pragg style. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:04, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
