[edit] Name

Most reference books have his full name as "Sabu Dastigir", but research by journalist Philip Liebfried suggests that was his brother's name, and that Sabu was in fact Selar Shaik Sabu. SteveCrook 16:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

He appears in the United States Social Security Death Index as:[1]

• SABU DASTAGIR 27 Jan 1924 Dec 1963 (not specified) (none specified) 557-24-7174 California

That's about as clear as it gets. Whether he may have borrowed his brother's name or not isn't really relevant to much of anything--there is no magic, God-given name by which people are known. Gene Nygaard 22:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Sabu Dastagir → Sabu – Name that the person was credited as, a la Sting, and Cher ...._(Complain)^{(Let us to it pell-mell)} 05:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Support - Should be done to conform with rest of Wiki. Also, the name is not clarified. ...._(Complain)^{(Let us to it pell-mell)} 05:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Oppose - As seen on the disambiguation page, other entries have stake to this name, perhaps the most notable being Terry Brunk (to which most of the errant links to the disambiguation page are intended). That article already has "Sabu (wrestler)" as a redirect, why not "Sabu (actor)" here? Tromboneguy0186 07:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Oppose per above. Make Sabu a disambig after merging and eliminating Sabu (disambiguation). Keep Sabu Dastagir and/or list Sabu (actor) on the new page. Voice of Treason 23:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I moved the disambiguation page to the standard name, and I changed the link in Voice of Treason's post so that I can delete the other page. -- Kjkolb 05:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Oppose that this page be renamed as Sabu, there are other claimants to the name. How about having this page renamed as Sabu (actor) with Sabu Dastagir redirecting to that. The disabmbiguation page for Sabu can then split out for the wrestler, the actor, the band (run by the son of the actor) and any others. But this page should certainly be renamed. As noted earlier on this Talk page, it's even doubtful that the actor's name was ever actually Dastagir SteveCrook 00:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Result

No move. -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 16:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

What about moving it to Sabu (actor) and maikng Sabu a disabmbiguation page? -- SteveCrook 19:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
