I notice this article's existing sort keys used what this article says is the subject's birth name: "Esmail Jafarzadeh". However, the article does not bear a title with that name, instead the article bears the title of Esmail Rangraz. According to the guidelines about ordering names in a category: "The sort key should mirror the article's title as closely as possible ..." while ignoring disambiguators, and then goes on to explain that people's names are generally sorted by Surname, Forename. The guidelines don't precisely explain what to do when an article title is a stage name or professional name that the subject might be commonly known by, but, to me, listing this article under "Rangraz, Esmail" is more appropriate than "Jafarzadeh, Esmail" because the professional surname would appear correctly sorted in a category, under "R", but appears out of place under "J". As a result I have changed the listas= attribute to "Rangraz, Esmail". The same argument applies to the article's DEFAULTSORT key, too. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
