Names of candidates[edit]

I added the names of the candidates as published in the official list of nominations, sourced. This was reverted, with edit summary "This reflects the consensus in the extended discussion at UKpolitics and also note wp:blpprivacy".

Without getting into an edit war, I don't understand why we should not use the full form of the names published by the council elections office, and can't see that there is a privacy issue given that the full names will be on ballot papers seen by thousands of voters. If we shorten the names, we need sources for each chosen short form, as not everyone uses their first given name. Unsourced short forms are WP:OR.

Could someone point me to the previous discussions, to help me understand this? Thanks. PamD 13:35, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's convention in English language writing to only use middle names either in the article about the person themselves (as part of the lede, to fully identify the person), or when disambiguation is needed from other people with the same personal and family names. This is common English usage, not a wikipedia-specific guideline. Rhialto (talk) 09:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
