This page was recently moved from Alimuddin to Alim-ud-Din by Wajidshahzeed; can you provide the sources that suggest this is the correct spelling of his name? Every source I can see, and certainly those cited in the article, spell it Alimuddin. Even if the Alim-ud-Din spelling can be verified, then we should not change the title of sources, so the citation titles will need changing back to Alimuddin.

Hi, Harrias. I have borrowed my friend's 1963 Wisden, which is the 100th edition. The name is in the index and is repeated at least 15 times through the book. I've placed a reference in the article's lead section. Could you please check if it is okay? Thank you. Waj(talk)14:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Even so, that is one source which uses Alim-ud-Din, against ESPNcricinfo, CricketArchive, Dawn, the Pakistan Cricket Board and The Nation. The latter three are all Pakistan-based sources. Why should one spelling in the 1963 Wisden trump the spelling used almost everywhere else? Harriastalk14:30, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not use the word "trump". It sends shivers down my spine! Joking apart, if there is a clear majority of sources (and even if one of them – CricketArchive – is deemed to be unreliable by many editors) then the majority must hold sway as that is a consensus among sources. I see you are a sysop so can you revert the page move because it will not let me override the redirect page? Regards, Waj(talk)14:44, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
