It was incorrectly stated at another talk page that this discussion was over. Since it isn't, here are some relevant quotes from our policies: | |||
{{quote|In most cases, you should title an article with the first and last name of a character. But you should use the last name by which the character was most often known. | |||
... | |||
[[Forum:Using Full Names|By forum]] consensus, the titles of articles about individual characters should be the name by which the character was most commonly known in the ''Doctor Who'' universe. If a full name is provided, though is not generally used, the body text of the article itself should start with it.|Character names|T:CHAR NAMES}} | |||
{{quote|Don't include Mr, Mrs, Dr, or any other honourific in a page title — unless you have no other reasonable way to disambiguate. | |||
... | |||
Honourifics are titles that come before a name, such as Mr, Mrs, Dr, Professor, religious ranks, or military ranks. These should generally not be included in article titles, unless they provide the only reasonable means of disambiguation. | |||
... | |||
Finally, if a character is widely known by a title, such as Sergeant Benton, then a redirect can be created under that name, pointing to the proper article title — in this case, John Benton. This however should only be done sparingly, and only with major characters.|Honourifics|T:HONOUR}} | |||
Some of the explanatory text is not applicable for this case, mind. It is still quoted to give a full context. | |||
If there are other relevant policies, please do not hesitate posting a quote below. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:48, October 29, 2019 (UTC) | |||
