Digvijaysinhji Jhala → Digvijaysinh Jhala – Sources give conflicting spellings. Only one RS - TOI - uses the spelling Jhala (giving the first name as Digvijaysinh), and only one RS - The Indian Express - uses the spelling "Digvijaysinhji" (giving the surname as Zala), and I think the "-ji" bit can safely be omitted, as it's just a respectful suffix added to names, like "-san" in Japanese. The guy has just died, and obituaries from many websites - Livemint, Business Standard, Economic Times use the spelling Digvijaysinh Zala. That also appears to be the common name used - by politicians on Twitter, at least - while condoning his death. For now, I've temporarily created the page Digvijaysinh Zala as a redirect to this one.

Note: the target page title was Digvijaysinh Zala before being altered per the nom's note below. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 04:38, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Note: On re-reading the three obituaries with Digvijaysinh Zala mentioned above, I realised that they're all from the same syndicated feed - ANI's. As for other sources, WaPo and LA Times repeated TOI's spelling: Digvijaysinh Jhala. The Indian Express also used Digvijaysinh Jhala, in an independently written obituary. So I guess the move should instead be to Digvijaysinh Jhala, omitting the "-ji" per my reasoning above. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 03:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Need more sources

I added the BLP source maintenance template as there seems to be a lot of unsourced text on the page. There doesn't seem to be much on him on the web either. Probably will have to remove the unsourced material at a later stage. -Sitaphul (talk) 04:02, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
