More info?

I found some more information here, but I don't know whether it's suitable to be included in Wikipedia.

Should this page be moved? I never remember him being called anything except "B.J. Habibie", but that's just the Western media. Everyking 16:08, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It is correct that prior to his term as president, everybody in Indonesia referred to him as "B.J. Habibie", or even as "Habibie". The newer "Jusuf Habibie" only started use during his presidency. I vote to move it to "B.J. Habibie" or even just "Habibie", since they are by far more recognizable. I'm not sure if "B.J." is an honorary title or not, though.

• I've put the article Habiebie in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Habiebie on the basis that the title of the article is incorrect. --*drew 14:00, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

*drew, just a quick note that the correct spelling is "Habibie", not "Habiebie", although in West Java that is the name that people say in jest (bie means soft in Sundanese). --Julius.kusuma 18:26, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I understand that the spelling of his name is incorrect, that's why I decide to list it in vfd. By the way, that article is not created by me. --*drew 00:19, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

If he is "more commonly known as B. J. Habibie", then why isn't that the page name? See WP:NAME. – Scartol • Tok 20:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
