Forum:CT Archive/Article Names: Real vs. Adopted

There's been a lengthy debate going on at Qymaen jai Sheelal over whether the article should really be there instead of at "Grievous". Some say it's more professional and encyclopedic to use birth names (and that redirects prevent any subsequent confusion), while others say the same about whatever name the individual used last, and/or was more widely known as, citing Mark Twain on Wikipedia as one such example. As the result of this debate could set precedent for the moving of many other articles, such as Padme Amidala, Mara Jade Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, and so on, I felt it was worth discussion amongst a larger audience.

 * I was in favor of birth names at first, but when holding the Grievous precedent up against articles like Mara and Padme, I think the last-used name really would be better. CooperTFN 18:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
