Balasaheb Thackeary

[edit]

hello my friend Favonian, I would like to point out that Bal is formal surname in bengal, but not in maharashtra. Mr. Thackeray's full official name is Balasaheb, & Bal is his popular informal name, intially started by his close associates. Even listening to his or his son's speeches, he is specifically mentioned as balasaheb. 117.233.73.20 (talk) 18:07, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to acquaint yourself with Wikipedia:Official names. According to Wikipedia's naming policy, we always prefer the common name as used in reliable sources. Favonian (talk) 18:13, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
he is addressed formally as balasaheb long before wikipedia was founded. it's inappropriate to address a big personality from my state by his informal name. check out local newspaper articles, or his video clippings, or his name on government documents, you will understand that he is honorific addressed as Balasaheb. 117.233.73.20 (talk) 18:22, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The person's "size" doesn't matter, and you are now edit warring. Favonian (talk) 18:23, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
