Request to correct article title

I would like to request that the article title be corrected from "Suhas Shirsat" to "Suhas Shirsath".

The article identifies the subject as Suhas Trimbakrao Shirsath. The official Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra, record uses the spelling "SUHAS TRIMBAKRAO SHIRSATH".

The spelling "Shirsath" is also used by independent media sources in their coverage of his 2026 Maharashtra Legislative Council election.

I request that the article be moved from "Suhas Shirsat" to "Suhas Shirsath".

I would like to request that this article be moved from "Suhas Shirsat" to "Suhas Shirsath".

The proposed title "Suhas Shirsath" reflects the spelling used in reliable sources. The Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer's records list the candidate as "SUHAS TRIMBAKRAO SHIRSATH". Recent reports concerning the 2026 Maharashtra Legislative Council election also use the spelling "Suhas Shirsath".

Current title: Suhas Shirsat Proposed title: Suhas Shirsath
