R. P. Singh → RP Singh – RP Singh (without the .) is his common name. Check the sources and external links in the article, they all use RP not R.P. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:59, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose MOS. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - very clearly the WP:COMMONNAME doesn't use spaces or stops - for example, CricInfo profile and article, CricBuzz, ICC article. - so MOS:INITIALS applies which says don't use the stops or spaces in cases such as this. In the same way that MS Dhoni - who is, err, sorta quite famous - does. There is an argument that in cricket in general we should use this style anyway, but certainly with subcontinental players.

Support per BST. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:35, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. In India, it is usual to write initials without spaces or full stops. However, Wikipedia's house style is to use them. This is purely a stylistic issue. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:31, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Necrothesp "It's Wikipedia's house style to use them?" I don't think it is, please provide evidence for this assertion. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:45, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - MOS:INITIALS? — AjaxSmack 00:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Quite. I personally, being British (where it's the predominant style), prefer spaces but no full stops for initials. But I accept Wikipedia's way of doing things for consistency's sake. No reason to make an exception for this chap or for Indians in general. In this instance it's not a well-known personal stylisation (as per the rare exceptions allowed under MOS:INITIALS), but merely the way it's commonly done in publications from a particular country. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:56, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. MS Dhoni looks like the name of a ship called Dhoni. Dreadful stylistic choice. Same goes here: we don't need to adopt lazy styles of other organisations who can't be bothered to type a dot. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:00, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
