Talk:Fiza Ibn-e-Faizi

Name

Hello and thank you for your interest in Fiza Ibn-e-Faizi (born 1 July 1923). I saw that his name was changed from Fiza-->Faza in only only place.

Is Faza truly his first name?

If so, what reliable and secondary sources use this spelling of his name? And, is this more prevelant than Fiza?

I reverted the edit to ensure we've got the right spelling and then it should be consistent throughout the article. Thanks so much!--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:36, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

I see one reliable source for Faza Ibn-e Faizi and a few sources for Kulliyat-e-Faza Ibn-e-Faizi.

There aren't many Fiza Ibn-e Faizi, either. In a few instances, it's Janab Fiza Ibn-e Faizi.

This is really unclear to me. I'll scope around Library of Congress and other sources for published works and see how it's spelled there in the short run. Any insight in the meantime is greatly appreciated.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:49, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Which only further confuses things.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Getting increasingly confused, I asked for help at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#Fiza Ibn-e-Faizi. Does anyone know the correct spelling of his name and how it should be listed for sorting (examples: Ibn-e-Faizi, Faza --- Faizi, Faza Ibn-e). Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:21, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
