"in America's division"

He was said in our article to have worked "in America's division of India's Ministry of External Affairs". "America's" couldn't be correct, so I verified the real name of the division. It was just the apostrophe that was wrong: it is "AMS [Americas] Division" as shown in this table. "AMS" being meaningless to readers, I altered our text to "in the Americas division".

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus is that the current title is the common name. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 12:29, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

S. Jaishankar → Subrahmanyam Jaishankar – This was previously moved on the basis of WP:COMMONNAME, but I'm not exactly sure that the basis for that move was sound. A quick sampling online shows that there are a lot of media sources that refer to him as "Subrahmanyam Jaishankar", including:

While there are definitely sources that use the first letter rather than the full name, it doesn't look to me like there is a preponderance of such sources. As the full name is more natural and precise, it looks like this should be moved to include his patronymic in full. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 18:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 02:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose You provide no statistic to suggest that Subramanyam Jaishankar is a WP:COMMONNAME.

Here Google Trends suggests that S Jaishankar has always been a COMMONNAME at any given point of time.
Pageviews suggest that after the aforementioned move was made on 28 Feb 2021, the readers found it upto a 100x easier to reach this article due to it clearly being a COMMONNAME.>>> Extorc.talk 21:04, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is that right?

He did graduation in Chemistry means he did B.Sc Chemistry, then how can he do M.A. ? Is that true? According to my information B.Sc graduate can not take admission in MA.Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 15:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
