Because it is forbidden to use company name and advertise for it on Turkish Wikipedia. If you do not have any interest with that company, I will do your request. I would be glad if you answer. --Uncitoyentalk 16:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Oh, absolutely not. I don't know that company. Only reason is these are my favourite colors and colors of my team. Gençlerbirliği Thanks a lot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahmetbildirici (talk)
- @Ahmetbildirici: Sorry, your username is very similar to this user see [2]. You have to make a difference between this username and your username, choose any language version of this username or other username. Also this tool can help you find if a username is used. [3] Regards. --Uncitoyentalk 16:58, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
I think "Vermelho Preto" is too OK, if it is possible to change. It is Portuguese version of Rosso Nero.

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My real name is Nahian and my username in Wikipedia is also User:Nahian. If the name Nahian is written in Bengali font, it has to be written as "নাহিয়ান". Being a well-known name in Bengali Wikipedia (bnwiki), many people write my username in Bengali (নাহিয়ান) instead of English (Nahian). So I have created this new account, I want to name it User:নাহিয়ান and from this I want to redirect to the original account User: Nahian. After rename this, I will never use the 2nd account. Thank You.
