The result of the move request was: other: page moved to Ajeenkya Patil as indicated by the sources given in the discussion. -- JHunterJ (talk) 19:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ajeenkya D Y Patil → Dr Ajeenkya D Y Patil – As the article suggests the 'Dr' prefix is a part of the name. Nasirsharif007 (talk) 06:00, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The inclusion of titles and honorifics like "Dr" is against Wikipedia style, and for good reasons. Where would it end? See WP:CREDENTIAL at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies (whose shortcut is WP:MOSBIO).

This use of "Dr" should be corrected throughout the article, too.

Oppose as per WP:CREDENTIAL. --DAJF (talk) 09:58, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per WP:CREDENTIAL, but cannot stay where it is with "D Y" either; move to either Ajeenkya D. Y. Patil or better Ajeenkya Patil; could only find two newspaper stories: Navi Mumbai institute honours Leander Paes, Ghulam Vahanvati Hindustan Times - 13 Apr 2012 "Governor of Tripura Dr DY Patil, founder chancellor of the university, ... presence of Dr Vijay Patil and Dr Ajeenkya Patil, presidents of the university." and "The residents told Mumbai Mirror that they will only communicate through the association, as the school belonged to an influential political family (the D Y Patil Education Institute is managed by Ajeenkya Patil, son of Tripura Governor D Y Patil. The school is being set up in partnership with Pranjali Foundation, which runs Pranjali International School at Kemps Corner)." In ictu oculi (talk) 12:08, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: contrary to what Nasirsharif007 says, the article does *not* indicate that the prefix is part of the name. I agree with In ictu oculi that "Ajeenkya Patil" is a better name, unless it can be verified that his initials are used in all or most contexts. I also have some doubts on whether the guy is notable or not. HandsomeFella (talk) 13:41, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
