In response to the first bit of the edit summary "the point of policies is their universality. Many people would search for Captain Harkness, so what?", universal means universal, and the way the policy is being applied to this case is not. [[Mr Smith]] is a fairly big character whose page could hardly have slipped underneath the eyes of individuals who cared about enforcing policy. The many [[Dr. Who]]s perhaps less as notable, but still a concrete example of the non-universality of T:Honourifics. | |||
I'd chalk it down to another factor involved in these renames: that pages should have the name by which their subject is most commonly known. | |||
[[Nobody No-One|Nobody]] calls her just "Marple". It's thus far universally "Miss Marple", just as [[Dr. Who (Land of Fiction)|Dr. Who]] is always "Dr. Who" (unless of course, he's "Dr Who"). | |||
We can all agree that there is a line it just doesn't make sense to cross; which (ignoring [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)]], [[Mr Smith]], [[Grandfather Paradox]], and probably a few more examples I can't think of) ''I'' would put between "fictional" people and "real" people. My line runs between [[Professor X]] and [[Paterson (Survival)]]. The moment... uh, I dunno... [[Thebes Publishing|Thebes]] publishes a novel all about [[Erimem]] & company going back and solving a murder with the real Miss Marple, I'm all for moving this page to [[Jane Marple]]. But as it stands as a page about a concept rather than a person, I really think [[Miss Marple]] is more suited.
