Thomas Elroy Oberheim → Tom Oberheim – Per WP:COMMONNAME the article should be titled Tom Oberheim, as this is the name that he is most commonly referred to in references. I attempted to rename, but there is already an existing Tom Oberheim redirect page that prevented me from doing so. synthfiend (talk) 01:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No idea why the originator of the article has moved it around so much from it's original title of "Tom Oberheim". Clear WP:COMMONNAME, as noted in all of the sources and his own site. Softlavender (talk) 08:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clearly the common name, as demonstrated by the sources. Jenks24 (talk) 15:09, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
