: There is no discussion to be had, pages are named conjecturally on dozens of instances, this is just how it is done of this Wiki, despite it not being explicitly written down on a policy page. But let's not forget that I have been told that this is ad hoc policy, if something is standard practise on the Wiki. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 19:56, 17 December 2021 (UTC) | : There is no discussion to be had, pages are named conjecturally on dozens of instances, this is just how it is done of this Wiki, despite it not being explicitly written down on a policy page.

::Look, controversial doesn't mean contentious. A rename suggestion can be ''in line with policy'', but if it is not obvious and inarguable, it is up for discussion, by definition. Anything requiring further research, or where there is more than one possible interpretation of policy, requires the {{tlx|rename}} template. | |||
::In this case, the necessity of {{tlx|conjecture}} tells us we're in a grey zone here. Policy allows some wiggle room around [[real world creep]] for page titles, and it's an ongoing conversation where to draw the line, involving many precedents. But don't let that stop you from starting a discussion, like here, and pushing things forward to a quick resolution. | |||
::So to move forward with the actual rename suggestion, are there any objections to [[Rupert Murdoch]]?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 20:17, 17 December 2021 (UTC) | |||
