Talk:Asquith Slitheen

Discussion page

Rename

Figured I'd start a discussion on this page's rename tag, which appears to have been left up for a very long time.

I agree with what the editor who placed the rename tag suggests: "Asquith Slitheen" is technically a conjectural name, whereas "Asquith (Slitheen)" or "Asquith (Slitheen family)" are not based upon conjecture. Personally, I'd opt for "Asquith (Slitheen)", unless there's a specific requirement for the word "family" to be used. Thalek Prime Overseer 00:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I personally understood the name as being a non-conjectural "the 'Asquith' Slitheen", not as suggesting that we are dealing with a Mr Asquith Slitheen. We could alternatively do "Slitheen Asquith", perhaps. Don't much like the parenthetical options, as they confuse the issue with regards to T:DAB; seeing a page named "Asquith (Slitheen)", my default would be to assume that this is a character who appeared in a story called "Slitheen (TV story)", you see?
