[edit]

Samantha Prabhu is not a convert into Hinduism. There is no evidence to show that except baseless rumors. Even her own husband has made statements about how such rumors should not be spread. Below is a link to an article which supports this view. Kindly make the necessary changes and remove Samantha's name from the "List of converts into Hinduism from Christianity" as well as "Indian former Christians". Thank you!

Article title

[edit]

What should be the article title? Samantha Akkineni or Samantha Prabhu? Many editors miss the fact that "announcing separation" does not mean a "divorce". We should not speculate. — DaxServer (talk to me) 11:34, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Bill Gates' former spouse is Melinda French Gates even after their formal divorce. Also, there seems to be a consensus that Samantha Prabhu is not appropriate in the previous RM. Perhaps it can be just Samantha (actress)? -- Ab207 (talk) 13:25, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's how she's credited in films. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:43, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kailash29792 She is credited in the films as "Yes"? Venkat TL (talk) 07:32, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You gotta be kidding me! When Ab207 asked "Perhaps it can be just Samantha (actress)?", I said yes because Samantha is how she is credited in films. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:52, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Almost all South Indian actors are commonly known by their first names. She is no exception. Venkat TL (talk) 08:11, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why many article names are just given names, like Mahesh Babu, Sukumar, Maruthi, while others not, like Dasari Narayana Rao, K. Raghavendra Rao (but not K. Raghavendra Rao, BA, like he's credited). The titles just satisfy WP:AT, be it in any format, credited or not. — DaxServer (talk to me) 10:44, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
She was credited as "Samanatha Akkineni" following her marriage; changing the credits retrospectively like this is not allowed per Template:Infobox film. -- Ab207 (talk) 14:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can you put a comment (in Infobox or Cast or both) stating that? People unaware would change it back (and other places as well). I think this is something that one can only know if they watched the credits in the movie? — DaxServer (talk to me) 15:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct. Indian films rarely have a proper billing block on the posters, so its somewhat difficult to verify. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:07, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@All, The article title should ideally be "Samantha". Since a disambiguation is needed on Wikipedia, instead of "Samantha (actor)", I suggest using "Samantha Akkineni" that is the name Media uses if they are not using just Samantha. Samantha Ruth Prabhu is not an appropriate Title. The name should be changed back to Samantha Akkineni Venkat TL (talk) 17:28, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The undiscussed move may be reverted for the time being. But its unlikely that Akkineni would be used in the future. -- Ab207 (talk) 18:15, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't aware it's Melina French Gates and not Melinda Gates. From the RM over there, the WP:NAMECHANGES is the policy that applies. The Instagram profile says "samantharuthprabhuoffl", Twitter says "S" with "@Samanthaprabhu2" and Facebook "Samantha Akkineni" with "samantharuthofficial". I read somewhere that she recently changed the Twitter profile name to "S" during these rumors. I think she still hasn't started using the Samantha Ruth Prabhu, yet. On a quick look in sources, I see a split between Samantha, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Samantha Akkineni. I think it's too early to move to Samantha Ruth Prabhu, given that she hasn't made it clear yet. Can't say about Samantha (actress), but you can make a case for it :) — DaxServer (talk to me) 14:53, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Because NAMECHANGES is evaluated on the basis of usage in reliable sources, it is to be seen how majority of the sources would refer to her in the coming months. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:34, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Father Josheph Prabhu is a Teligu person. Here in wiki, he is mentioned as a Tamil. She has a Telugu father, and Malayali mother, both settled in Chennai. 49.206.39.157 (talk) 01:20, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
