Correct name is Singh Suruchi

[edit]

Hello everyone. I'm wondering why the article's name is "Suruchi Singh", as the shooter's name is Singh Suruchi and Inder Singh Suruchi respectively? I'd like to suggest renaming this article to Singh Suruchi, if no one has any objections. I will wait till 6/30/2025. Cheers, Chris.w.braun (talk) 12:22, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Singh is her surname and I am assuming that Inder is her father's name - so, Suruchi Singh is correct. However, Suruchi's name is now being mentioned as Suruchi Phogat in Indian media. See this for instance: https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/others/suruchi-completes-golden-hat-trick-in-world-cups-101749833681586.html. Not able to decide which of thee three names should be used for the Wikipedia page: Suruchi Singh or Suruchi Inder Singh or Suruchi Phogat - Google these days doesn't show which name has more hits, which would havve been an easy and non-controversial way to decide. As of now, I'll be making redirect pages for Suruchi Inder Singh, Suruchi Phogat, Singh Suruchi, Inder Singh Suruchi and Suruchi Phogat to this page. As and when the consensus emerges over the year, we can move the page to the appropriate title as required. --Gurubrahma (talk) 02:51, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Gurubrahma, thank you so much for clarifying this. I was confused by Suruchi's correct way of writing when visiting the ISSF website, where they state that "Suruchi" is her last name. Thanks for setting up the redirects. We'll see later in the year where the correct naming goes. Cheers, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 11:54, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
