Talk:Rasho Nesterović

Requested move

The article was moved one year ago without any discussion. During the last months, IPs tried to move the article twice which I interpret as a renaming request. He is known as "Radoslav" throughout the world and that's his official Given name. There is an article about him in 9 different languages, but none of them calls him "Rasho" in the title. And, even worse, in the English-speaking world noone would call him "Rasho Nesterovič" – why use the č which isn't part of the English alphabet while spelling his First name in a way no Slovene would do? So, if you kept his nickname by which he is known just in the US, then the article should consequently be moved to Rasho Nesterovic (or would Rasho Nesterovich be a more consistent transcription?). The current mixture of American and Slovene spelling does not make sense at all to me. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 11:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

• We're perfectly free to use nicknames; consider Jimmy Carter. Rasho Nesterovic makes sense. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Of course we are, but the question is wether it is used more commonly than the Given name, and in case of any doubt I'd prefer the latter. If we took Saša Vujačić as an example, Rašo Nesterovič could also be a possible title. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Our two English sources use Nesterovic. I would be reluctant to be more pedantic than they are, unless they are atypical. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:19, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Please change the nationality; Rašo is a Slovenian basketball player not Serbian! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.250.61.8 (talk) 20:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Radoslav Nesterović → Rasho Nesterović – Per Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names, Rasho Nesterovic is the common name associated with his notability. Basically all of his notability comes from playing in the NBA, an American basketball league. What would be widely regarded as the three highest and most reputable authorities for record-keeping and reporting in the NBA (NBA.com, ESPN, and Basketball Reference) all list him as “Rasho Nesterović Mrbeastmodeallday (talk) 19:14, 27 April 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. KCVelaga (talk) 05:46, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
