- Oppose. It is not similar to the pagemove of the Kasturirangan page. In that case, the page was moved from "Kasturirangan" to "Krishnaswamy Kasturirangan"; from a title containing only the surname to a title contaning his first name as well. It might be argued in that case that article titles containing only the surname are not good enough in some cases. This page, however, has both the first and last name already, and certainly, as shown, the initial "M" is not frequently used. MikeLynch (talk) 18:49, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
