Talk:Ranjitsinhji

message: Could this article perhaps be simply named Ranjitsinhji or even Ranji?  (Both are already redirects to this article).  Does the "Kumar Shri" (or "KS") add much?  
Secondly, shouldn't this article and Duleepsinhji (currently at Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji) be consistent? -- ALoan (Talk) 19:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree on both points. "K. S. Ranjitsinhji" and "Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji" were only their names before they became the rulers of a princely state. The "K. S." ("Kumar Shri") is a title. Umar Zulfikar Khan (talk) 10:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Further to ALoan's suggestion some years ago (see above) I propose that this page is moved from K.S. Ranjitsinhji to Ranjitsinhji, per WP:COMMONNAME. --Dweller (talk) 14:08, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've no strong preferences either way. I suspect he was/is equally well known as "K. S.", even though as ALoan mentioned above it was just a title (which he shouldn't really have had at all), but I think a move to Ranjitsinhji would be fine.

Who was Berthon ?  That's the first, but not the only mention of him. Claverhouse (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Re-nomination

message: The article has a readable prose size of 72 kB (11,987 words) which far exceeds the recommended limits in WP:SIZESPLIT. I think the article should be split into Ranjitsinhji, cricketer and Ranjitsinhji, Jam Sahib of Nawanagar (or other titles which meet these scopes). 
As presently written, the article is disjointed because it is covering two distinct subjects and the interchanges are so frequent that you easily lose track of his cricket in England on the one hand and his personal ambitions in Nawanagar on the other. There needs to be a cricket article which focuses on that and only mentions Nawanagar on the occasions when his business there actually impacted his cricket career (for example, he missed the start of the 1902 season because he was in India). Equally, an article about Nawanagar should make only brief and necessary references to cricket and England, such as the fact it was cricket which made him famous.
I'll be happy to take the lead in creation of the two new articles if approved. I'll leave it pending till the end of January. Thank you. Batagur baska (talk) 12:57, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: No response so I'll leave this a while longer and raise it at WT:CRIC. Batagur baska (talk) 22:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

text: I'd not have separate articles like that(it makes it sound like they are 2 separate people) but would not object to creating something like Cricket career of Ranjitsihji and to move a lot of the content there, leaving a summary here. Spike 'em (talk) 11:53, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: (cross posting what I'd posted at WT:INB): I don't think a split on those lines would be right, both aspects of his life are intertwined. I think trimming down the article may be a better option. There's a little too much detail in the form of story telling as opposed to encyclopaedic writing in the article.—SpacemanSpiff 11:59, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
