The Grand Inquisitor (Character)Grand Inquisitor (Star Wars) – The current title violates naming conventions in two ways. 1) "Character" starts with a capital letter, which is discouraged at Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Format. 2) The leading "The" is discouraged by WP:NCTHE. Yes, the character is always called "the Grand Inquisitor" in dialogue, but the guideline is clear that that is not sufficient to include it in the article title as part of the character's name. If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the Wikipedia article name. Otherwise, do not. In official sources, including StarWars.com, the definite article in the character's name is not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence, e.g. "A Pau’an Jedi hunter with dark-side Force powers, the being known as the Grand Inquisitor served Darth Vader."

User:MandoWarrior asserts that there are no other characters called "Grand Inquisitor" in any other media, which would make the "(Star Wars)" disambiguator unnecessary, but a cursory search suggests this not to be the case (e.g. Diablo, Brothers Karamazov, Zork, etc.). Though there appear to be other characters with the title of Grand Inquisitor in Star Wars (see list currently at Grand Inquisitor (Star Wars)), all of these other characters have better natural disambiguation using their actual names which they are far better known by. Only this Grand Inquisitor is known primarily by the name "Grand Inquisitor" and should therefore take the article position at "Grand Inquisitor (Star Wars)".

Last apparition

[edit]

I think the last apparition of the Grand Inquisitor is in the episode 15 of the first season of Star Wars Rebels. 2607:FA49:2040:AF00:D03F:1DE3:B877:341E (talk) 21:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
