Free agent

[edit]

I thought he had to clear waivers before he was an actual free agent? (i.e. he cannot sign with any team right now.) What is the official term for someone who has been amnestied but hasn't yet hit the free market? hbdragon88 (talk) 05:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of any specific terms. We could just leave the field blank. Zagalejo^^^ 00:43, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please insert another comma in the following; it would go just after "brawl". This is in about the 2nd paragraph.

>He was a participant in several controversial on-court incidents, most notably the Pacers–Pistons brawl and is known for his sometimes eccentric and outspoken behavior.

"Artest" Should Be Called "World Peace" throughout

[edit]

His legal name is Metta World Peace. The article even states "World Peace" is his surname. Especially in light of things like the Caitlyn Jenner article, it's morally required, and I'm sure somewhere in Wikipedia's rules, to refer to him by his legal and chosen name. I'll leave this up for a bit, and if not replies or adequate objections surface, I will make the changes.

Take a look at this, this, and this. The article reflects the consensus; it is how it should be. —DangerousJXD (talk) 11:03, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please change:

Metta Sandiford-Artest[1] (born Ronald William Artest Jr.; November 13, 1979) is an American professional basketball coach and former player. He is currently the player development coach for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. He was known as Ron Artest before legally changing his name to Metta World Peace in September 2011, and again in May 2020, this time, to Metta Ford-Artest.

... to:

Metta Sandiford-Artest[1] (born Ronald William Artest Jr.; November 13, 1979) is an American professional basketball coach and former player. He is currently a player development coach for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. He was known as Ron Artest before legally changing his name to Metta World Peace in September 2011, then to Metta Sandiford-Artest in May 2020.

Because:

The original text had incorrect info. His name is now "Metta Sandiford-Artest," according to this article: https://www.thescore.com/nba/news/1973006

Furthermore, the above is also a more trustworthy source for American basketball news than the "International Business Times." 2607:FEA8:A420:114D:4D58:98F:33E:386B (talk) 19:57, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

I moved this article back to the previous title of Metta World Peace. This subject is most known in pop culture as Metta World Peace or Ron Artest, so because of this the article should be under one of those names due to WP:COMMONNAME. His new name is not nearly as widely known as his previous ones. If anyone disagrees please start a WP:RM. StaticVapor message me! 20:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article title (again)

[edit]

It looks like this article was renamed a few months ago with no discussion. This article should be titled Metta World Peace, even if that is no longer his legal name, per WP:COMMONNAME. Every media reference to him names him Metta World Peace, and he still calls himself that on his own Twitter. Nobody knows him by his legal name. 71.167.26.132 (talk) 13:39, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 December 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:03, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Metta Sandiford-Artest → Metta World Peace – Per talk page comments above, whilst the official name has changed, his WP:COMMONNAME is still Metta World Peace (see refs: [1], [2], [3]). The current article name occurred as a result of a move war in which movers did not engage in a discussion.

Hello, I would like "The Panda's Friend" to be listed among Ron Artest's names in the beginning of the article. Here is source saying that he changed his name to this.

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the ((Edit semi-protected)) template. Are there any reliable sources beyond breaking news? Not sure if it was ever prominent, or if it was a legal name, common nickname in China, or just promotional. —Bagumba (talk) 02:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
