Ahmed Abdel Rahman Nasser → Ahmed Abdel Rahman Nasr — This page refers to my grandfather and his name is misspelled therefore no internet search can give a correct output through this website, hence the name must be changed to the correct one. Ismailhashad (talk) 17:12, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The idea that there is a "correct" spelling of Arabic in Western alphabets should have gone away years ago; T. E. Lawrence made notable fun of it. This spelling of Nasser is notoriously the one used for the President, for example.


 * Therefore, please supply sources, in English, which speak of the subject; they will settle the question at hand, and help the article. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is only one reference on the page at the moment, to an English language webpage of the Egyptian military - with the spelling Nasr. I'll repeat the link here.  Noel S McFerran (talk) 12:17, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This link (http://www.mmc.gov.eg/branches/AIRFORCE/Nor.htm) has the spelling "Nasser". Greenshed (talk) 22:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The English spelling is totally dependent on the original Arabic name: 'Nasser" for "ناصر" and "Nasr" for "نصر". I checked the Egeptian Air Force article on Arbic Wikipedia القوات_الجوية_المصرية and it mentions his name as "أحمد عبد الرحمن ناصر", hence "Nasser" in English (I've added it to the article by the way) and the move is unnecessary.
