Beyoncé makes Vanity Fair's 2013 International Best Dressed list!

Change the title (Beyoncé Knowles → Beyoncé)
I thought the unnecessary "Knowles" in the page's title was one of those oversights and I decided to move this page to "Beyoncé". But unbeknownst to me, this was apparently a, quote, "controversial" act according to an editor, who promptly proceeded to revert it back.
Like I stated, not only did I not know it was controversial but I still don't! But I do want to know, so I opened this section as I see no discussion here on what valid grounds it is still titled "Beyoncé Knowles" in 2013.
The only thing I notice here on the talk page are the archived polling activities involving mostly the exact same editors and that is totally inadequate since polling is not a substitute for discussion.
And the discussion is simple: anno 2013 "Knowles" in the title is not only outrageously redundant (increasingly as time goes by), but nowadays it has become downright semi-inaccurate! The first sentence of this article itself refutes the title: she is now is a married person and as such "Carter" has also been added to her last name. So "Beyonce Knowles" is neither accurate nor common by any stretch of imagination. So quit vote stacking and do the only right thing: change the title to the one used by nearly all verified sources currently (almost all the "Knowles" references that I skimmed thru on the internet are old/longstanding pages that have evidently been un-updated). Literally all the fresh references of her in newspaper articles and the like nowadays (anno 2013) are all just "Beyoncé". I haven't found one "Beyonce Knowles" titled article. Here is a (by no means exhaustive) example of that:
- 2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé"................. 17
2013 New York Times articles using the title "Beyoncé Knowles"......... 0

- Without commenting on anything else for now, the major reason (besides the lack of a talk page discussion) that Favonian reverted your edits is because you performed a cut and paste move when the move feature should have been used.
