Requested move 5 July 2019

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 section.

Moved to Sankar (writer). From the nominator's comment/response to the opposer, and the fact that both sources given in the request show "Sankar", not "Shankar", as the writer's name, hopefully this grants the request. If not, let me know. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) Paine Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 09:58, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was proposed in this section that Mani Shankar Mukherjee be renamed and moved to Shankar (writer).

Mani Shankar Mukherjee → Shankar (writer) – The person is know by his penname. His original name is rarely used. In all if his books he used the penname. That's how he is referred to as well, see 1, or at Goodreads, etc. --Titodutta (talk) 19:30, 5 July 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. — Newslinger talk 23:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the form "Shankar", but Support Sankar (writer), which is the form of his pen name that appears on the covers of English-language editions of his books. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:51, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the interesting observation. Regards. --Titodutta (talk) 08:40, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
