Talk:Vernon Dursley

Rename

I didn't add the rename tag, but am happy for this page, Mrs Dursley and similar pages relating to real world characters and individuals to be given their full real-world names, both for disambiguation purposes and to future-proof such pages. I would however say that a { {conjecture} } tag should be added and no real world information should enter the main text of the artcile itself. In the case of this page, the opening should remain:

Mr Dursley and Mrs Dursley were characters in a "classic" bedtime story

and not

Vernon Dursley and Pertunia Dursley were characters in a "classic" bedtime story.

See pages on "The Charge of the Light Brigade", "Darkness", Alien Autopsy and Krusty the Clown for more examples of how articles with titles based on conjecture should be written. 66 Seconds ☎ 00:55, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

...Isn't that what has already been done? Sure, the links use the full names, but they're hidden by a pipe switch, showing only what was said in the TV story.

Yeah. Happy that it has now been renamed. Just seen similar pages, such as Challenger 2, where real world information has been used but these conventions have not been followed. 66 Seconds ☎ 01:12, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
