Talk:Bruno Banani (luger)

Article title
Given he's just competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics under the name Bruno Banani, it seems to me we should probably rename the article. Even if it is just a marketing ploy, that's his name of record, surely? — OwenBlacker (Talk) 15:45, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Good question. I'd be mildly in favour of leaving it where it is, if only to avoid confusion, but I have no strong views on the matter. On the one hand, he did indeed become famous under that name. On the other, since it's simply a marketing ploy, can we really assume that he'll keep it? At present, the Bruno Banani page is of course occupied by an article on the German company, with a note at the top indicating where to find the page on Semi.

This dude changed his name, so the article should be named as he has in his passport, and it's Bruno BAnani. IT's not "coca-cola" etc. It's a common name that HAPPENS to be a brand, so he can keep that name for the rest of his life. IT's like he changed his name to John Smith, given there is a clothing brand named John Smith :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.60.53.117 (talk) 23:08, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Fuahea Semi → Bruno Banani (luger) – He competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics under the name Bruno Banani, as it is now his legal name. While it is true that he is named Bruno Banani because of the company of the same name, that does not change the fact he is most well-known as Bruno Banani. ONR (talk) 01:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
