Requested move 17 January 2018

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: no consensus. See no discussion since before the first of two relists. See no general agreement to rename this article. As is usual with a no-consensus outcome, there is no prejudice toward further attempts by editors in a few weeks or months to decide upon the highest and best title here. Just a gentle reminder that reliable sources are your friends. Happy Hearts Day! (closed by page mover)  Paine Ellsworth   put'r there 13:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Bhavana (Kannada actress) → Bhavana Ramanna – First of all, the current "Kannada actress" is an improper dab. She has also acted in other language films, not only in Kannada. She is also not an actor who uses a mononym, she uses both Bhavana and Ramanna together. Since there's only little coverage on her and the South Indian media outlets often call celebrities with their first name alone, it's difficult to distinguish from search results. She is an actress, producer, politician and dancer. She is credited as Bhavana Ramanna in the poster of her production Niruttara. Her official (not verified though) Facebook page is also Bhavana Ramanna. She is also mentioned as Bhavana Ramanna in India's leading movie ticket selling site Bookmyshow.com, and in the official site of Indian National Congress, her political party. She is the chairperson of Bal Bhavan Society, an educational organisation, where her name is again credited BR. Clearly she prefers and is credited and known by the name Bhavana Ramanna.

 * Oppose (for information I have been discussing this matter with LTBS over at Talk:Bhavana (Malayalam actress), and also closed a 2016 move request identical to this one). I don't deny that there are some sources which use the longer Bhavana Ramanna name, but the question is what is the common name. To test that, I did a Google news search requesting just "Bhavana" and the name of her most recent film, "Niruttara". This search would be equally likely to show Bhavana Ramanna or just Bhavana, depending how the source wrote it. And as you can see, most results coming up there just say "Bhavana". For most actresses or actors, sources would show FirstName Surname. That is why I believe that the single name version is the common name. Regarding Indian sources routinely using mononyms, that is in itself an indicator that the mononym is the common name, and furthermore, from the sources I'm seeing, most give Bhavana a mononym, but do not give other stars as single names. And also do not mention the word "Ramanna" anywhere. For example:
 * Turning producer has been a long-time dream for Kannada actress Bhavana, which is finally being realized with the release of her debut production, Niruttara, this week. The film, directed by Apurva Kasaravalli, stars the actress, along with Kiran Srinivas, Rahul Bose and Aindrita Ray in the lead.
 * Bhavana, Rahul Bose, sitar maestro Neeladri Kumar, Apoorva Kasaravalli, Aindrita Ray, Kiran Srinivas, and Oscar winner Resul Pookutty have come together for Niruttara
 * Cast: Bhavana, Kiran Srinivas, Aindrita Ray, Rahul Bose
 * On his return he watched two movies on the same day - “Baahubali-2” in the morning and the Rahul Bose-Bhavana starrer “Niruttara” in the evening.
 * Thanks &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:55, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support: Based on the given sources, and the fact that "Bhavana (Malayalam actress)" is now "Bhavana (actress)". Kailash29792 (talk)  18:47, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
