Samantha Ruth Prabhu → Samantha (actress) – She is seldom referred to as "Samantha Ruth Prabhu". --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 00:41, 22 July 2015 (UTC) Kailash29792 (talk) 12:10, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Samantha (actress) is a simple no-go, due to it being such a common name. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 03:08, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * How about "Samantha (Indian actress)"? Kailash29792 (talk) 03:36, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * @FoCuSandLeArN: How about it? --George Ho (talk) 03:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see the point, to be honest. I've performed a search of "Samantha Ruth Prabhu" and all sources (Times of India, IBT, BS, etc.) refer to her as such. Nobody seems to call her just Samantha, and why would they? There are millions of Samanthas in the world, and it would be extremely confusing to call her just that. As for Samantha (Indian actress), there must be plenty of other Samanthas that are actresses over there. I don't understant this whole affair; the hatnote at the top of the article already clears up any doubts about the relevant naming conventions. It is enough as it currently stands. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 16:13, 22 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose - 'Samantha (actress)' is too ambiguous. sovereign°sentinel 01:51, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Additionally, oppose per WP:NATURAL. sovereign°sentinel 01:52, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 9 October 2017

 * 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: Moved.While there is a lack of clear concensus as to the precise move-target, there is more-or-less a clear weighed-concensus that the current title is not apt.Hence, this is moved to Samantha Akkineni.Any new RM may be initiated at the new venue.Thankfully,  Winged Blades of Godric On leave 06:45, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Samantha Ruth Prabhu → Samantha (Indian actress) – She isn't credited by her full name in films, and even the media refers to her as just "Samantha". No admin will permit this article's move to "Samantha (actress)", citing other actresses sharing the same name. Plus, with her recent marriage, she's likely to replace "Ruth Prabhu" with "Akkineni" as her last name. But neither of the last names will be as common as her mononym.

Andrewa (talk) 18:42, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The "No admin will permit" is not an admin fiat, but merely the conclusion of a previous move-request for it. See . DMacks (talk) 03:42, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Support credited mononymously, certainly shouldn't stay as is. &mdash;innotata 09:49, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hold on - lets see what she's credited as in RGG2 and then Mersal, before finalising. Editor 2050 (talk) 00:46, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Wait - Can't the page be named as Samantha (actress)?This is because we need to select a less complicated name which editors can use without difficulty. And moreover the page should be protected from vandalism.
 * Comment. Samantha (actress) already redirects here, and looking at the list of persons at Samantha, no other actress seem to be mononymously known as "Samantha". Opposes at the previous RM seem to have consisted mainly of WP:IDONTLIKEIT but no substantial argument as to which other actress named Samantha could be confused with this one. I'm not sure whether WP:NATURAL should apply, so I'd refrain from !voting, but if moved the preferred target is Samantha (actress). No such user (talk) 10:00, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: She has officially changed her last name, hence this article needs to be moved ASAP. Kailash29792 (talk)  14:45, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Decision: Let it be like this as both Samantha (actress) and Samantha Akkineni are redirecting here itself. Let it be Samantha Ruth Prabhu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bollywood junction (talk • contribs) 13:22, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: has moved the article to Samantha Akkineni even before this discussion ended. Someone please undo his edits. Kailash29792  (talk)  13:28, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * And they are now indeffed as a probable sock, so all their contributions are eligible for reverting. Andrewa (talk) 22:17, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The block is not for sockpuppetry, it's for "long term disruptive editing including copy paste moves etc to suit user's POV on "married names", as well as copyvios" = see Special:Contributions/Geocraze. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:18, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Either way, prima facie case for reverting. Andrewa (talk) 18:42, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I say that we wait for media to catch up in using that name. WP:NATURALDAB applies currently as sources still mention her name as Samantha Ruth Prabhu. We should wait for the sources to start using Samantha Akkineni. We didn't move Ajay Deegan to Ajay Devgn as soon as he changed his name, we waited for sources to catch up. I think this will happen in one month or so. Till then, Oppose. 86.97.131.126 (talk) 09:37, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to Samantha Akkineni - sources I can see seem to be mainly calling her that now. A few are still using the older name, but including the new name as an aka. I'm not seeing much evidence of mononymic use in the sources, so I'm not sure why that's being proposed. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 14:13, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Move to Samantha Akkineni per Amakuru. Seems to be the clear common name since the name change and also how she identifies on social media. Jenks24 (talk) 04:08, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: The married name isn't immediately the most common name. Take Kushboo and Raadhika as examples; even though they've been married for years, they are still commonly known mononymously. Until Samantha goes the way of Jaya Bhaduri... I mean Jaya Bachchan, we'll avoid putting her current surname in this article's title. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  06:38, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't appear to have produced a single source showing the actress is referred to mononymously in reliable sources, and especially none have been produced since the name change. In addition to that, this article is a BLP and how she wants to be known must come into consideration especially in debatable cases such as this. And "Samantha Akkineni" is natural disambiguation, something which "Samantha (Indian actress)" is not. Jenks24 (talk) 10:12, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright then, is "Samantha (actress)" a better option? Because it reveals 1,95,00,000 results, in comparison to Samantha Akkineni's 8,89,000 results. But if anyone has seen Raju Gari Gadhi 2 and Mersal, how is she credited in them? Based on that, this article may be moved. <b style="color:black;">Kailash29792</b> (talk)  12:06, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The more correct version - "Samantha Ruth Prabhu": 39,70,000 hits, "Samantha actress": 1,37,000 hits, "Samantha Akkineni": 2,68,000 hits. I can't link them because Wikipedia software breaks the urls, since it is searched using speech marks (see Tip). Tip: If you are comparing search results, always search using " " (speech marks), otherwise Google uses its artificial intelligence to find synonyms of the searched word and displays them, leading to inaccurate figures. 31.215.192.128 (talk) 15:32, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the media doesn't refer to her as only Samantha, see this and this. (Ironic, they use her maiden name for marriage news. Very funny.) 31.215.192.128 (talk) 15:36, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Another thing is that while Samantha (actress) should continue to redirect here per page views, it should not be the title of the page as there are tons of actresses at Samantha. But that would leave "Samantha Indian actress" which has only 74,000 results. 31.215.192.128 (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Which name
I think there's at least a rough consensus to move but no consensus yet on the target, so relisting yet again. Andrewa (talk) 18:42, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * don't change her name is samantha ruth prabhu that's the real one, just because people call her with other names.Don't change her real name samantha ruth prabhu to something else. i hope Wikipedia sticks to the real name rather than the common names used by some people . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvvsatyarajesh (talk • contribs) 19:43, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Both the IP and me probably misinterpreted this kind of request to be an unprotection request for the page.
