Is he the leader?
I've just read the
Operation Dudula article and it says that this person "cut ties" with this "hate group" last year! So, wouldn't it be right to change the term in the introduction to read "former leader"?

Nhlanhla "Lux" Dlamini →
Nhlanhla Lux – The article's current name, with Lux in quotes, is not compliant with
WP:NICKNAME, and I think Nhlanhla Lux is what he is most commonly known as (he certainly isn't known as Lux Dlamini). Just want to run this past other editors before going ahead with the move.

Oppose The current title appears to be the name by which the subject is most-commonly referred, and doesn't seem to contravene
WP:NICKNAME. The examples given are William "Bill" Clinton, which is not comparable to the case here, and
"Weird Al" Yankovic, which is similar.

As a caveat I would say the existing sources are a small sample size, and naming is highly inconsistent, so a more in-depth analysis of usage would be welcome.

We always try to avoid using nicknames in quotes between the real names like this. --

Support per
WP:COMMONNAME. The references to "Nhlanhla "Lux" Dlamini" quite possibly are because of
WP:CIRCULAR references.

Support per nom. The current title certainly does go against the language of
WP:NICKNAME. The phrase "a nickname, or a contracted version of the original given name(s)" includes nicknames that are not a form of the given name(s). {{replyto|
