Citations[edit]

Seems to me someone overkilled on tagging content with in-line citations. I don't think that's the intent of WP. Tagging a group of content would probably be more appropriate. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE _{GOOD WORKS} 15:30, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

George "Two Ton" Harris → George Harris (wrestler) – WP:STAGENAME discourages the current title, as well as WP:TITLEFORMAT. Also, he has other nicknames. I would prefer natural name with parenthetical disambiguation. George Ho (talk) 07:13, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support we don't do for other wrestlers with this type of name despite being well known (Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Bret "The Hitman" Hart etc) so I don't see why this should be any different.--64.229.164.69 (talk) 02:31, 21 September 2013 (UTC)--64.229.164.69[reply]
Support on the basis of not liking it. Though WP:STAGENAME and WP:TITLEFORMAT say nothing about this as far as I can see. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:26, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

STAGENAME says "... avoid (for example) adding a nickname... in quotes between first and last name." TITLEFORMAT mostly discusses quotation marks in the context of articles on quotations or songs, but WP:ITALICTITLE says "Quotation marks (such as around song titles) would not require special techniques for display, but are nevertheless avoided in titles; see Article title format above." I admit that this is the less conclusive of the relevant guidelines. --BDD (talk) 18:47, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support 64.229 took the exact counterexamples out of my mouth. Or fingers. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:24, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Should be closed and moved. Since there is nothing currently at George Harris (wrestler) it should just be done immediately - it's clear there's no opposition. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 16:07, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
