The result of the move request was: MOved to Rahman (Bengali actor)  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:19, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Rehman (Pakistani actor) → Rehman (Bengali actor) – Rehman not only acted in the Pakistani films. He also acted in many Bangladeshi films. He acted Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi etc films. So the title is not suitable. Renaming to "Rehman (Bangladeshi actor)" isn’t suitable because he acted in Pakistan too and he was a Pakistani citizen. He is Bengali so the requested title will be better I think.

 * Comment Is it Rehman or Rahman? 162 etc. (talk) 22:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The correct name should be "Rahman" but someone created a redirect under the name. Mehedi Abedin 23:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll note that there are WP:PDAB conflicts here with Rehman (actor) and Rahman (actor). 162 etc. (talk) 15:06, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Support as per nom. Dead.rabbit (talk) 01:14, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a tricky one. It sounds like we should use Rahman since that's the spelling used in the available English-language sources. For the disambiguator: I agree with the nom that "Pakistani actor" and "Bangladeshi actor" are both poor ideas (he acted in both countries post-1971), but I think "Bengali actor" is problematic as well—if Bengali is referring to the language, it's inadequate since he appeared in many Urdu/Pashto films as well, and if it's referring to his ethnicity, we don't typically disambiguate by that (cf. MOS:ETHNICITY). At this point, I'm thinking Rahman (actor, born 1937) is the best choice: although disambiguating by birth year is discouraged, it may be the most straightforward option we have. Rahman (actor) should then be moved to Rahman (Indian actor) or Rahman (actor, born 1967) since he doesn't seem to clear the WP:PDAB threshold. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:40, 16 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The title "Rahman (actor, born 1937)" seems strange. Can you propose better title? We should move "Rahman (actor)" to "Rahman (Indian actor)", I agree. But move this page to a suitable name is difficult I think. Mehedi Abedin 20:04, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Support Rahman (Bengali actor). Bengali is the best descriptor in this case. Vpab15 (talk) 21:47, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
