Rajwali Shah → Raj Wali Shah Khattak – The correct full name of the individual is "Raj Wali Shah Khattak," not "Rajwali Shah." The current title is incomplete and should reflect the full name as commonly published.

• Comment. Both names appear to be used. We use WP:COMMONNAME, which is not necessarily WP:OFFICIALNAME, so it needs to be established which is more common. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:08, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Rajwali is typographical mistake. The name Raj Wali, at least it should be corrected. Also Raj Wali Shah Khattak is mostly known as Raj Wali Shah Khattak. https://poetrypashto.com/raj-wali-shah-khattak-a-literary-giant-in-pashto-literature/

• Oppose. No case presented, just personal opinions and unsupported claims about which name is more common. But a redirect is a good idea and I have created it. Andrewa (talk) 09:34, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I would like to clarify that "Raj Wali Shah Khattak" is indeed the correct and widely recognized name. This is supported by several reliable sources, including:

  The official Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government website, which uses the full name "Raj Wali Shah Khattak" consistently in his biography and official references.

  Academic publications and articles discussing his contributions to Pashto literature and poetry, such as those found in linguistic journals and literary critiques.

  Various literary works and books authored by or about him also use the name "Raj Wali Shah Khattak."

  Using the full name ensures accuracy and consistency with authoritative sources and helps avoid confusion among readers. For these reasons, I believe the article and related redirects should reflect the correct and verified name "Raj Wali Shah Khattak." 202.142.174.146 (talk) 12:04, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
