Article name

I have chosen to move article name to Samir Shah from Samir Shah CBE for a couple of reasons. Firstly the CBE postfix is in my view not best practice. (I'd have to check the manual of Style and I haven't got time). The question then what is the alternative ... a postfix of (occupation) might work but given spread of occupation/appointments might not be ideal. While a redirect in mainspace Samir Shah this is not mentioned on the redirect target (giving WP:SURPRISE and thus is of no of minimal consequnce if removed). This explanation is a little rushed and as may be seen I initially made a technical mistake in the move for which I apologise and accept WP:TROUT).

Removal of list of productions

At Special:diff/1059049887 during draft stage a large list of primary or IMDB sourced productions where Shah was executive producer have been removed. Its not that the're not important, and could possibly be provided as a perhaps a table, its just that at present and as presented they are more of a hinderance then help getting this article to mainspace in my opinion. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 04:04, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
