[edit] Shardad versus Shahrdad?

I have an album of his and there is no "h". His own website does not spell it with an "h". Requesting clarification/source for the spelling please. Cricket02 15:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

He is an Iranian (and I am.) Despite the way he is spelling his name (which is merely to let people pronounce his name more easily, I reckon) the correct pronounciation of the name in Iran, is as shahr-dad (with the "h") hence my insist on putting the H back. Unfortunately, I have no access to a legal source (like a copy of his passport, or things like that) to verify if his name is officialy written with an H or not.

All in all, if you think I lack a verifiable source, I am open to shifting back to shardad. But if you think what I'm claiming here is acceptable, I will be grateful to have you supporting the dectation with an H, but of course adding the other spelling in parantheses.

Hi Huji. I assumed when the page was moved to the new spelling, that that was probably the traditional spelling. But then an anon user took the "h" back out so that is why I question which is correct. I'm not sure what to do really. My first concern was that if someone wanted to search for his article that they would use what spelling they are accustomed to seeing (i.e. on his albums and web page) -- but I realize there is a redirect so that really would not matter as they would be directed here anyway so that is good. If there could be a source that "Shahrdad" is indeed the spelling of his birth name, I'm sure that would be better, but for now I don't see reason to change it back to "Shardad" yet, but am open to additional consensus on the subject. Thank you for helping watch this article, he is a brilliant man.  :) Cricket02 02:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, all my resources speaking about his birth name are in Farsi (Persian) and do not address the spelling of his name in English. Maybe we can manage to ask himself for a clarification, somehow. :) And yes, he really is. huji—TALK 21:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
