Karan Oberoi → Karan B. Oberoi – Actor and singer Karan Oberoi added extra B in his name last year after numerologist suggestion. So, his official name is Karan B. Oberoi. Therefore it is requested to shift this page to Karan B. Oberoi. Sharing a few sources to verify, [1], [2]. Thank you. 106.198.248.75 (talk) 17:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose WP:COMMONNAME In ictu oculi (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also inclined to oppose as per WP:COMMONNAME. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:22, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support : Karan Oberoi has officially changed his name to Karan B Oberoi and all his social media accounts such as Twitter (link), Facebook (link) and Instagram (link) uses the new name Karan B Oberoi, and big publications like Outlook, The Quint, Rediff News and others, have already covered him with this new name. The people can get confuse later which actor they are talking about, as I could see people have already confused earlier and mixed other guys with the same name.--42.111.25.144 (talk) 17:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support : I also support, as Mr. Oberoi has officially changed the name covered by Abp news (reliable publication) with reason established, moreover his social media accounts have this name then it should be definitely updated on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angadjit Bhatia (talk • contribs) 10:57, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the determinable factor for an article name is what the topic is most commonly (WP:COMMONNAME) is referred to as in WP:RS. A quick off-wiki search for news articles shows recent media coverage of the subject (see this article from 5 days before this comment, and this one from one day before) continue to referred to the article subject as Karan Oberoi, and so there is a strong case that the name should be left unchanged until there is a major, long-term shift in the number of sources that refer to the subject by his new name.

Oppose. A redirect from the new official name is definitely required. But there's no basis in policy for this proposed move. Andrewa (talk) 19:32, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
