:One relevant precedent is [[Victoria]], who was considered a primary topic not just because she's a monarch, but because other Victorias in the DWU (including [[Victoria Waterfield|one Victoria who's arguably more notable to our readers]]) would have been named after her. In the real world, King David is the major reason why a lot of Jews (and later Christians) chose this name, which then became commonplace enough to stay strong in our more secular world.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 04:14, 12 September 2021 (UTC) | :One relevant precedent is [[Victoria]], who was considered a primary topic not just because she's a monarch, but because other Victorias in the DWU (including [[Victoria Waterfield|one Victoria who's arguably more notable to our readers]]) would have been named after her.

::Another facet is that (unless there's a major source we aren't covering yet) David has not appeared in the DWU. This means the (Byzantium!) dab term is not really correct, as it's not his first appearance as a character. So though it means overriding [[T:HONOUR]], [[King David]] would be the preferable name if David's not deemed primary, taking into account all the policies.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 04:17, 12 September 2021 (UTC) | |||
