| | Posted: | | | | As credit from the end credits Yemi A.D. His name should go in the first name field because his real name is Yemi Akinyemi. Yemi / / A.D. does not fit because the D. is not part of his last name. It does not work this way either Yemi / A. / D.. For now since this is his only film it should go Yemi A.D.// per end credits. Also per an already approved cast list (786936772340) Here is the notes: Quote:
Cast: added all cast from credits. Yemi A.D. looks to be a stage name, so all in first field. He may someday be credited in another film as Yemi Akinyemi (his real name?) but so far this is his only film credit. |

| | Posted: | | | | What is the source for his name being Yemi Akinyemi? Provided that (those) references are good i'd buy it.
To use another profile (786936772340) even if it is approved is self-referential unless it contains good external links. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! | | | | Last edited: by tweeter |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know how you determine it to be a stage name. With only one credit you aren't likely to find much to back up any claim. Yemi/A./D. certainly works and you could take it one step further and go with Yemi/A. /D. (Yemi A.D.) to reflect the ACTUAL reading of the credit.

| | Posted: | | | | I credited him as credited Yemi A.D//All in the first name field. Another user voted no because his real name is Yemi Akinyemi. He says that Yemi A.D. is not a stage name so it can not all go in the first name field. Yemi A. = Yemi Akinyemi so were does the D., not in the last name field (Yemi//A.D.) or even this way (Yemi/A./D.) because the A. = Akinyemi. I see only one option Yemi A.D. // | | | | Last edited: by Dragon 6 |

I don't know how you determine it to be a stage name. Just looking at the end credits it looks like a stage name to me. I don't know how you are determining it is not a stage name. | | | | Last edited: by Dragon 6 |

| | Posted: | | | | His full name is Yemi Akinyemi Dele as shown on his linkedin web page. I would say that Yemi A.D. should be treated as a stage name and all in the first name field. pdf | | | Paul Francis

| | Posted: | | | | I stand corrected. My first resource showed it as Yemi Akinyemi and the per credits was Yemi A.D. so it should be all in the first name field because the A stood for his last name but now I have another source which shows what the D stands for. Now it should be Yemi / A. / D. |

pdf If the credit had been 'A.D. Yemi', we wouldn't be having this discussion. Since 'A.' and 'D.' are initials, for the Blue-ray version, I simply entered it the opposite of how I would have had the intials come before the name.

| | Posted: | | | | I contributed the profile refered to in the first post. When I ran across that name, I spent a very short amount of time researching it. This is the only film credit for this individual. I confess I used an unreliable outside source for coming up with what I thought was his "real" name. My bad. | | | | Kevin |
