:: We have three editors saying otherwise against just two, so the majority rule, as it stands currently, is in favour of going by the credits. As for why she is never called "Shirley Bingham" in the episodes, it's fairly common to introduce yourself with your full name, even if you don't go by your middle name. Say I introduce myself as "John James Smith" to you, it doesn't mean I go by "John-James"; similiary, until ''The Giggle'', it was unclear if Shirley went by "Shirley-Anne", which is what her introduction indicated, and subsequently users started referring to her as "Shirley Anne" on her page, in the same vein as Sarah Jane using her middle name in conjunction with her forename. As User:Jack "BtR" Saxon has pointed out, having the page name reflect her credited name of Shirley Bingham prevents just confusion, and aligns with other official releases like DVD Bonus Features.

::: Discussions don't work using the majority rule, save for certain cases, such as infobox images. They work on arguments, not statements of "I agree with x". See [[T:FORUM]]. And whether or not she is referred to as "Shirley Anne" or "Shirley", the point remains that she is not referred to as "Shirley Bingham", and is never referred to as Shirley Bingham, except in episode credits, which are not valid sources for in-universe articles. If you were to present me with a novelisation or some such that referred to her as "Shirley Bingham", then I would feel differently on this matter, but as it stands she is most commonly referred to as "Shirley Anne Bingham" or simply "Shirley", neither of which are "Shirley Bingham". {{User:Aquanafrahudy/Sig}} 16:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
