In accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), articles about people should generally be titled <First name> <Last name>. Derek Jones is more appropriate in this case as the simpler name is easier to search and locate, and there is no ambiguity with the name. WWGB (talk) 01:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- I do not think the general rule can apply here. In view of all the materials I have, only one of them uses "Derek Jones". The rest of them use the name in full instead. According to the convention of Wikipedia, the more commonly used name should be used for the article title. In fact, there is ambiguity with "Derek Jones" as I discover now a lot of irrelevant pages pop up in the "What links here" page of the article. --Clithering (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. They must have all been fixed. I see none now, other than User:Jord/NS election which hopefully will be fixed before it becomes an article. 199.125.109.107 (talk) 03:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
