I thought he had to clear waivers before he was an actual free agent? (i.e. he cannot sign with any team right now.) What is the official term for someone who has been amnestied but hasn't yet hit the free market? hbdragon88 ( talk) 05:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

His legal name is Metta World Peace. The article even states "World Peace" is his surname. Especially in light of things like the Caitlyn Jenner article, it's morally required, and I'm sure somewhere in Wikipedia's rules, to refer to him by his legal and chosen name. I'll leave this up for a bit, and if not replies or adequate objections surface, I will make the changes.

Metta World Peace has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please change:
Metta Sandiford-Artest[1] (born Ronald William Artest Jr.; November 13, 1979) is an American professional basketball coach and former player. He is currently the player development coach for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. He was known as Ron Artest before legally changing his name to Metta World Peace in September 2011, and again in May 2020, this time, to Metta Ford-Artest.

Metta Sandiford-Artest[1] (born Ronald William Artest Jr.; November 13, 1979) is an American professional basketball coach and former player. He is currently a player development coach for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. He was known as Ron Artest before legally changing his name to Metta World Peace in September 2011, then to Metta Sandiford-Artest in May 2020.
Because:
The original text had incorrect info. His name is now "Metta Sandiford-Artest," according to this article: https://www.thescore.com/nba/news/1973006
Furthermore, the above is also a more trustworthy source for American basketball news than the "International Business Times." 2607:FEA8:A420:114D:4D58:98F:33E:386B ( talk) 19:57, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I moved this article back to the previous title of Metta World Peace. This subject is most known in pop culture as Metta World Peace or Ron Artest, so because of this the article should be under one of those names due to WP:COMMONNAME. His new name is not nearly as widely known as his previous ones. If anyone disagrees please start a WP:RM. StaticVapor message me! 20:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
It looks like this article was renamed a few months ago with no discussion. This article should be titled Metta World Peace, even if that is no longer his legal name, per WP:COMMONNAME. Every media reference to him names him Metta World Peace, and he still calls himself that on his own Twitter. Nobody knows him by his legal name. 71.167.26.132 ( talk) 13:39, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Vanderwaalforces ( talk) 09:03, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
Metta Sandiford-Artest → Metta World Peace – Per talk page comments above, whilst the official name has changed, his WP:COMMONNAME is still Metta World Peace (see refs: [1], [2], [3]). The current article name occurred as a result of a move war in which movers did not engage in a discussion.

If I keep clicking on the "next page" links for searches on both names, they each end up showing 25 pages of results, with 10 hits each. — Bagumba ( talk) 13:09, 30 December 2023 (UTC)In the case of Google (and other search engines such as Bing and Yahoo!), the hit count at the top of the page is unreliable and should usually not be reported.
...as it was improperly moved without any consensus: Editors are asked to be bold, so the move was fine procedurally. It's since been stable for 3 years, so this would not qualify at WP:RMUM to revert the move:
Having this RM now is fine, but I dont see any past procedural issues. Judge the title on its own merits. — Bagumba ( talk) 22:54, 13 December 2023 (UTC)There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title
there has been any past debate about the best title for the pageor which
someone could reasonably disagree with the move.As there was a previous move discussion for this page, a discussion should have occurred instead of a bold move (and after the bold move was reverted, it should not have been reinstated without engaging in a discussion prior to it).
