This shows that Wikipedia is slowly now against it's own theory of open and it is behaving like a publication house with controls. Controversial topics might be protected but if it goes for a cricketer then many on internet who proclaims that Wikipedia is losing it's credibility get's justified. I wish if vandalism can be used to stifle open then almost every country with few example of anarchy should go for autocracy. Still time to think else in a vast internet with tons of articles around and 5G speed this will auto-collapse with mutually self appointed editors. Hisotry has taught many such lessons but some fails to learn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.220.106 ( talk) 04:28, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
I see that this article has been moved from KL Rahul to Lokesh Rahul.
As far as I know, the man is referred to as KL more often than he is referred to as Lokesh. ESPNcricinfo refers to him as Lokesh in the header of his profile, but as KL just about everywhere else on the site.
The BBC also refers to him as KL most, if not all, of the time:
http://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKP90159
http://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKP90160
Similarly enough, M. J. K. Smith was and still is more commonly known as just that, than he was/is as Mike Smith (though ESPNcricinfo refers to him as Mike in the header of his profile).
So, should this article stay as Lokesh Rahul, or should it be moved back to KL Rahul?

@ Joseph2302, Bluebird207, Harrias, PeeJay2K3, and Lugnuts: Hello every body. I had checked India's Official Cricket web site of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) bcci.tv for Rahul. Because he is Indian cricketer, I just found only Lokesh Rahul, I could't found KL Rahul at ongoing SL Vs IND Series and also at Team India.

Here at Yahoo also use as Lokesh Rahul. Srinu523 ( talk) 18:49, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus. Reasonable arguments from both sides, no consensus that the proposed title is the most common name in reliable sources. Worth revisiting in a six months or so I'd imagine. Jenks24 ( talk) 01:44, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
KL Rahul →
Lokesh Rahul – All the articles shows his name as Lokesh Rahul, like
ESPN,
Cricbuzz,
Cricket Archive,
bcci.tv,
Yahoo,
Team India Official Squad are shows Lokesh Rahul. Once upon a time (upto
2015 Indian Premier League) all showed as KL Rahul, now all are change to Lokesh Rahul. So why not we also change the article to
Lokesh Rahul.

I request the users not to repeatedly change the name from Kannur Lokesh Rahul to Kannaur Lokesh Rahul or Kannanur Lokesh Rahul. It is mispelled almost everywhere, not to mention sports sites to academic sites. His father's Bio-data in NITK, Surathkal website, where he works as a Professor, cites his father's birthplace and native as Kananur in Magadi Taluk, Ramanagra District, Karnataka. http://civil.nitk.ac.in/sites/default/files/faculty-CV/Bio-data_KLN.pdf. The fact is it is Kannur while misppelled as Kananaur in the file. See: http://www.mangalorean.com/cricketer-k-l-rahul-visits-shri-kukke-subrahmanya-temple/

KL Rahul was born in Mangalore. 2409:4071:D14:2760:0:0:5189:E40D ( talk) 15:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
So there is a lot of circular referencing going on here, and K.L Rahul is being reported as Kannur Rahul by many Cricket websites. His real name is Kananur Rahul and not Kannur. This is his late father’s curriculum vitae. [1]
Notice his place of birth ‘Kananur’. Kannur is a different place in Kerala and is not related to K. L Rahul who is a Kannadiga.
Crick Buzz [2] seems to be the only Website that has got it right, the others seem to be picking up from wiki and repeating the mistake.
@ Shurpanakha: : Done Thank you very much for pointing it out. Well, even cited source of cricinfo mentioned Kananur. Winged Adult ( talk) 03:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I have placed a POV section template here. After reading it, it becomes evident that it is not written from a neutral point of view. Words like 'ladder to success', 'star cricketer', etc. are WP:PEACOCK. And is such a detailed list of his endorsments needed? Kpddg (talk • contribs) 07:00, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Kpddg:, I am totally agree with you, nearly all the articles about Indian cricketers have this type of peacock wording, it should be removed and whoever doing this should be warned. I added fan POV tag, lots of info is unsourced and written in fan language. I removed some. Rock Stone Gold Castle ( talk) 19:37, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Please modify several subsection titles:
Common nouns in section titles shouldn't be capitalised, so "season" is correct, not "Season". 49.198.51.54 ( talk) 08:47, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Virtually all websites give his height as 5'11 and not 6'1, including the link used in the information box (which thus also gives 5'11'), so I guess a change would be welcomed, thanks.

Reading this article, one thing that stands out to me is the excessive focus on both minutiae and trivia. It seems like far too much routine information (he scored this many runs from that many balls) is included, without regard for the significance of the information for a general audience. Wikipedia is not Wisden or Cricinfo. Focus on the defining details rather than trying to be comprehensive - see Sunil Gavaskar for an example, which is more effective at conveying the key information rather than using excessive detail. 92.40.217.85 ( talk) 14:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
