== Article title: Birth name, artist name, nickname? ==
Following [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez/archive5#Move_request|this discussion]], it has become apparent that there is no policy about an article title when it comes to persons.
I hereby suggest this policy:
{{cquote|When creating an article about a person or multiple persons, go in this order when choosing the title:
#If there is an officially acknowledged artist name, use that one ("Nicolas Cage" instead of "Nicholas Coppola", "Freddie Mercury" instead of "Farrokh Bulsara", "Donatello" instead of "Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi")
#If the person is almost exclusively referred to by a nickname, use that one ("Bill Clinton" instead of "William Jefferson Clinton")
#If none of the above apply, use the real name in the form it is most widely used.}}
Please state your opinions or suggestions here. --[[User:JBrown|JBrown]] 14:45, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
