Talk:Na. Muthukumar

Title Change

Would it be possible to move this article to a new title "N. Muthukumar" instead? I think it would be appropriate if English initials were used rather than Tamil initials. Rdx-77 (talk • contribs)

Na. Muthukumar → Nagarajan Muthukumar – It makes no sense why this person's name is abbreviated the way it is in the article title but not in the lead paragraph in bold.

Comment It looks like this poet was mainly known as Na Muthukumar according to the sources. I would suggest this article is moved accordingly, and the first paragraph amended to clarify this. Rafts of Calm (talk) 20:15, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose per Rafts of Calm. Per the guidance in MOS:BIO#First mention, the lead sentence of the biography should contain the subject's full name, even if it's not his WP:COMMONNAME (compare, say, Bill Clinton or Pablo Picasso). The sources appear to show that the existing title is the COMMONNAME, so probably all we'd need to do is add something like "better known as Na. Muthukumar" to the lead.

  So we should move the article to 'Na Muthukumar' is what you're saying? » Gommeh (he/him) 19:20, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose: I don't see "Nagarajan Muthukumar" used in sources. There seems to be more than one person with a similar name, so we need to be careful about which is being discussed when we see sources. The sources cited in this article seem to be mixed about half-and-half between "Na. Muthukumar" and "Na Muthukumar". See also IMDb and Varnam, which use "Na. Muthukumar". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:49, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Jaundice

Jaundice is generally something caused by some other condition, not a phenomenon that occurs in isolation. It is more of a symptom than a disease. Why did he have jaundice? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 11:53, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
