main character name

This article is a mess. The spelling Beetle Juice, Beetlejuice and Betelgeuse are variously used. I am changing all the names to Beetlejuice, the most common usage. I read and deleted the "Warning" at the top of the article. This is not the way that Wikipedia works, discuss your issues here and a user consensus will emerge. --Brideshead (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It may be the most common spelling, but the movie makes it very clear that his name is Betelgeuse. 68.197.166.162 (talk) 04:43, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Official consensus of the character's name

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was to officially list the character's name as Beetlejuice.—Wildroot (talk) 04:25, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In recognition of the above section, we need to agree what of the character's name. Of course the title of the film is Beetlejuice. However, people also refer to the character in the film as Beetlejuice, Beetle Juice or Betelgeuse. I'll give this issue a week and see how it goes.

Feel free to state your position on naming the character to Beetlejuice, Beetle Juice or Betelgeuse by beginning a new line in this section, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons.

Beetlejuice: I could care less what we call him, just as long as we all agree on a name. —Wildroot (talk) 18:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, seeing as how nobody cares about this, it's now official that he will be called Beetlejuice. —Wildroot (talk) 04:23, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
