Requested move 30 July 2022
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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Rehman (Pakistani actor) → Rehman (Bengali actor) – Rehman not only acted in the Pakistani films. He also acted in many Bangladeshi films. He acted Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi etc films. So the title is not suitable. Renaming to "Rehman (Bangladeshi actor)" isn’t suitable because he acted in Pakistan too and he was a Pakistani citizen. He is Bengali so the requested title will be better I think.

This is a tricky one. It sounds like we should use Rahman since that's the spelling used in the available English-language sources. For the disambiguator: I agree with the nom that "Pakistani actor" and "Bangladeshi actor" are both poor ideas (he acted in both countries post-1971), but I think "Bengali actor" is problematic as well—if Bengali is referring to the language, it's inadequate since he appeared in many Urdu/Pashto films as well, and if it's referring to his ethnicity, we don't typically disambiguate by that (cf.
MOS:ETHNICITY). At this point, I'm thinking
Rahman (actor, born 1937) is the best choice: although disambiguating by birth year is discouraged, it may be the most straightforward option we have.
Rahman (actor) should then be moved to
Rahman (Indian actor) or
Rahman (actor, born 1967) since he doesn't seem to clear the
WP:PDAB threshold.

Extraordinary Writ: The title "Rahman (actor, born 1937)" seems strange. Can you propose better title? We should move "Rahman (actor)" to "Rahman (Indian actor)", I agree. But move this page to a suitable name is difficult I think.
