On 27 August 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to Narayana Murthy. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Requested move 27 August 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. One could argue this should be closed as no consensus. Yet: though not a formal oppose, the only comment in more than a month provides evidence for an WP:ARTICLETITLE with "NR"; I see no rebuttal from the move proposer. If there is any information I am unaware of, please feel free to bring it to my talk, and I will reconsider the close.

N. R. Narayana Murthy → Narayana Murthy – As per WP:COMMONNAME. No matter how you look at it, Narayana Murthy is the common name. It should be obvious and unanimous. Barely are there any sources cited in the article that don't refer to him as Narayana Murthy Appu (talk) 16:34, 27 August 2021 (UTC) Appu (talk) 16:34, 27 August 2021 (UTC)— Relisting.

I mean... is it? Seems like it's actually the current title that's more common. [1][2][3][4][5][6] ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 18:18, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
