There appears to be some disagreement about how to spell this person's name. So far it has taken place on three User Talk pages...
The discussion needs to be centralized in one place, so please can we discuss it here - we can request a move of necessary (it would have to be an admin move, as there is already a redirect in place). -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 17:48, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I think Google search results are not relevant here ... if the subject himself uses an unconventional spelling, then the article needs to be moved there. The name Mazhar is quite common, and most people spell it with the spelling Mazhar. However, if the subject chooses to spell it otherwise, that is the correct spelling for the bio. Note that it isn't like Bangladesh doesn't use English language ... rather most of the official documents in Bangladesh are in English language along with Bangla. So, Google hits don't matter here. -- Ragib ( talk) 17:53, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I've done some Google searches...
I have to say that looks pretty inconclusive, which is a little disappointing - more work needed -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 18:01, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
OK, I've done some more searching and have had a closer look at the results, and the independent sources I can find seem to be pretty consistent on "Muzharul Islam", eg [1], [2]. There are hits on "Mazharul Islam" which are about the same guy, but the first couple of those I looked at were mirrors of the Wikipedia article, eg [3] - if nothing comes up ahead of Wikipedia mirrors, I think that suggests it is not the correct spelling. So, looks like it's "Muzharul Islam" - I'll do a formal move request shortly -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 18:20, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I've changed the spelling within the article, so it should all be correct after the move. Please note I have not changed the spelling of reference titles, as some of those spell it "Mazharul" and we should reflect the actual titles, even if incorrect. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 18:42, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Here is the website of IAB. IAB is the professional institution of Architects in Bangladesh. http://iab.com.bd/past_e_comitte.html#5 Here, it spells as Muzharul Islam everywhere. -- Rossi101
The result of the move request was: page moved. harej 19:01, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Mazharul Islam → Muzharul Islam — See reasoning above - it needs an admin move as there is a redirect in the way. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 18:22, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
The article should be assessed for higher categorization. -- Rossi101 ( talk) 19:36, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
He featured in major film on Kahn and there's a Muzharul Islam Foundation as well Muzharul Islam Archives at Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technolgy - things that can be explored. There is this book along with another published, but I don't have access to it at the moment. This book is partially available. This article by Tigerman requires a registration.
