Nanak – The Sanskrit religious title
Guru is primarily used for Nanak by Sikhs, not all people commonly refer to him by using the prefix 'Guru'. Only Sikhs consider Nanak to be a 'guru', similarly Muslims consider
Muhammad to be a Prophet, but we don't use 'Prophet Muhammad' here on Wikipedia, we simply have Muhammad. Christians consider Jesus to be a
Christ, though we do not have
Jesus Christ, we simply have Jesus. In the same manner, Sikhs consider Nanak to be Guru, but we should simply have Nanak, instead of Guru Nanak. A much more convincing argument would be
WP:COMMONNAME. The Google Ngram
results largely favor 'Nanak' over 'Guru Nanak'. The much-more reliable Google Scholars shows
48,800 results for Guru Nanak whereas a much larger
66,900 results for Nanak.

I request to add the transcription of Guru Nanak's name in the native Gurmukhi (ਨਾਨਕ) and Shahmukhi (نانک) scripts of the Punjabi-language. There is currently only the transcription of his name in the Latin script. ThethPunjabi ( talk) 19:29, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Please Put (“Shri Guru” (full name of Guru’s) and “Ji” in the last) and refer them with “They/them” instead of “He/She”. As they (Guru’s) are very respected in Sikh history and it can damage a lot of Sikh’s feelings by not paying them (Gurur’s) request. 2605:8D80:403:1BC1:BCF2:5E2B:4EC7:4244 ( talk) 03:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
