Talk:Fatih Akin

Untitled
There must be a better picture of him which you can replace the current picture. This just looks ridiculous and barely like him —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.253.47.120 (talk) 04:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Turkish decent
Please can people stop deleting the fact that he is Turkish- German as this is begining to get ridiculous! I will keep this page on my watchlist and will be observing what happens... Here are some references of his turkish origins:

 * He called Turkey "my country" when he accepted the Cannes award for god's sake.
 * Maybe it's only ridiculous to have it in the lede.91.10.47.192 (talk) 14:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Rename
Article should be renamed to "Fatih Akin" (ie. written with a latin i). Sources are almost unanimous, here are two that are particularly interesting:
 * The imprint of Akin's company's website.
 * His own signature.

Keeping the ı is clearly original research. 79.223.12.249 (talk) 21:26, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Fatih Akın → Fatih Akin – Sources are almost unanimous, including his own signature (http://p5.focus.de/img/fotos/origs327906/4395388267-w889-h541-o-q75-p5/boulevard-der-stars-fatih-akin.jpg) and his own company's website (http://www.bombero-int.de/corazon/index-r=52.html), but also the vast majority of newspapers, film award sites, books, his own films and all sources used in the article. --Relisted.

 * Oppose In Turkish ı and i are two different letters. The name is Akın and not Akin. But most English keyboards lack lowercase ı and consequently sometimes the name is written as Akin. Since WP permits lowercase ı, than we should use the correct form. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Akin is German. I'm sure a lot of his ancestors were called Akın, that does not mean that it has to stay that way.
 * Could you please share your position on the various sources that do spell him Akin?-84.170.88.157 (talk) 18:30, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * There are many pages in Turkish . But to be more specific why don't you try twitter ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:01, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
