Paul VarghesePaul Varghese (Comedian) – There are multiple articles and people with the name Paul Varghese who are originally from Kerala in India. Hence to make the article more clear and specific the move was requested. DemonKing158 (talk) 10:24, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose as nominated, since we do not capitalize disambiguation terms. Support Paul Varghese (comedian), since this person is not clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name Paul Varghese.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  23:55, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Question then is Paulos Gregorios the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT for the undisambiguated lemma? Or do we put a disambiguation page at the base title? (English Wikipedia discusses no other people by this name right now, besides a trivial WP:DABMENTION of a former principal of Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Trivandrum)? 59.149.124.29 (talk) 06:07, 26 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Moved What is said above is absolutely true, differentiation needs to be made between people who have the same name as "Paul Varghese" currently the name associates itself with a comedian, but there are many individuals that have the same name and perhaps in the future would like to be mentioned/added to Wikipedia. Having a generic name as "Paul Varghese" not only prevents such users from being known in the Encyclopedia. The name itself originally comes from Kerala a province in India, hence there are a lot of Individuals from Professors at a University, to government officials to doctors, artists and architects that have the same name. Differentiation need to be made and a way to do so is by adding the profession related to the person behind the article title so from (Support Move) "Paul Varghese" -> "Paul Varghese (Comedian)" WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT etc.. Its a good move and has a valid point. Hence I also request WP:TITLECHANGES— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:670:6A31:9D00:75CB:45D9:DAF4:75DE

Move Yup I also agree with the above few comments. A clear difference needs to be made between which Paul Varghese we are talking about and mentioning the occupation behind the name allows for clarity to be present within the article and that of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.206.109.205 (talk) 09:24, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
