John Paul Puthusery → John Paul (screenwriter) – Per film credits and WP:COMMONNAME. His full name is currently used as the title only to dab it from other John Pauls. See references in the article for cross-checking. 2409:4073:2181:2110:15C5:88F8:AD47:DA37 (talk) 11:42, 28 October 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 01:10, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

John Paul Puthusery seems like a fine WP:NATURAL title to me. 162 etc. (talk) 14:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I thought too. But what's making me doubt is that in all the sources cited in the article, he's only John Paul. Dr. Vogel (talk) 14:14, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
162 etc. It is against WP:COMMONNAME. WP:NATURAL is not used for dab'ing names of people, for that WP:NCPDAB is followed, in worst cases Name (qualifier, born YYYY) is followed, full/legal names are not added in any case just for dab'ing. --2409:4073:4E1F:838A:347D:AEB:EFE4:5ED0 (talk) 16:02, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure they are. Brandy Norwood (not Brandy (singer)), Cassie Ventura (not Cassie (entertainer), which was recently shot down in RM.) These sources [1] [2] use his full name, so I'm not convinced that he's only known as "John Paul". 162 etc. (talk) 01:17, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No strong consensus, likely to receive more requests, and they were mononyms. TOI is probably imitating Wikipedia, nettv4u.com is non-RS. His films are available in YouTube, he's credited only as John Paul. There is also this TV show currently running, hosted by him. These ([3][4][5][6]) are books authored by John Paul (ജോണ്‍ പോള്‍) about his screenplays. John Paul (screenwriter) is more identifiable in a search.--2409:4073:38C:3A4C:E0BC:D516:AD13:46AC (talk) 10:33, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

When it gets moved to RM, oppose for the reasons the IP says. But IP, please get an account. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:42, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is known as merely John Paul, and adding his surname (Puthussery) to the title is a bit confusing.--jojo@nthony (talk) 05:54, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination. Subject is listed as "John Paul" on IMDb. With over 80 films to his credit, there is no indication that he was ever billed as "John Paul Puthusery". Although his full name has been referenced, his pen name and professional name is simply "John Paul". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:39, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
