message: I wasn't aware Darius Danesh changed his last name legally to Campbell. Wouldn't he just be using Campbell as a stage name? Lots of people use their mother's maiden name or grandmother's maiden name for a stage name. --CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 18:50, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: From the sources, it looks like it's just a new stage name and not a legal name change. Silly if you ask me. Anyway, the page was moved and I moved it back because of WP:COMMONNAME - I can't see people referring to him as Darius Campbell any time soon. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:12, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Samantha Janus and Kym Marsh are two examples I know of. Jada Pinkett did it the Courteney Cox way. But most female celebs stick with their maiden name as a stage name. Nothing to do with Darius of course. He's just done it for.... why did he even do it? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Interesting. It needs to be noted that he was recording as Darius Danesh, though, and is generally just known as "Darius". Maybe we should say something like "Darius Campbell-Danesh (born 19 August 1980) is a Scottish (half Iranian) platinum-selling recording artist, songwriter, and West End stage actor known professionally as...." and then list his other names. What do you think? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 02:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe the first name given should state Darius Campbell as that's the name he'll be known as now and in the future, as in "Darius Campbell (born Darius Campbell-Danesh, 19 August 1980 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish (half Iranian) platinum-selling recording artist, songwriter, and West End stage actor who was previously known professionally as Darius or Darius Danesh". Would that be better? Transferred (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I considered that as well, and I think it works. Throughout the article, we'd have to refer to him as Campbell. At the moment, he's refered to as Darius, which is incorrect as Wikipedia uses last names. But he's more widely known as Darius Danesh. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 14:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Campbell throughout the article should be ok I think as long as the name change is mentioned at the start and explained in the personal life section. Transferred (talk) 15:09, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Probably. It would match his discography, and other articles such as Colourblind (Darius Danesh song), which definitely shouldn't be changed. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:56, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change 

message: "Darius" is an Iranian name (Darius was an Iranian king) and "Danesh" is an Iranian word which literally means "Knowledge". Despite being born in America and to a white American mother, president Obama is commonly referred to as AFRICAN-AMERICAN (not even American-African!), so it's absolutely absurd to suggest Mr Darius Danesh is Scottish rather than Iranian-Scottish!
The entire article is written in poor English and has no structure!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.200.91 (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's supposed to give his nationality, not his ethnicity, so either Scottish or British, unless he has dual citizenship. His ethnicity should only really be mentioned if it is relevant to his notability. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Opening paragraph. Even if both his parents were Iranian, it would still be the case. The origin of the name has nothing to do with it. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Do you have a source that says he has dual citizenship? –anemoneprojectors– 16:26, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

text: He may have automatically acquire the right to Iranian citizenship but that doesn't mean he actually holds dual citizenship. JoshuaJohnLee talk softly, please 02:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: The statement was released on Aug 16, but he was pronounced dead on the 11th, according to the source cited in the article.  RudolfRed (talk) 17:14, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  On multiple occasions the article has been edited to say that he died on the 11th.  But we don't know the exact date he died on.  The sources merely state that he was "found unresponsive" with no indication of whether he was still breathing or his heart was still beating.  So he could have been still alive at that point and died at some point that day, or he could have died days or weeks before then.  We'll only know the exact date when and if a reliable source confirms it. — Smjg (talk) 19:23, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
