Susan Mayer → Susan Delfino — There seems to be an editwar going on, with conflicting opinions on "Susan Mayer" or "Susan Delfino" as the base name for this article and the character it covers. I have never seen the show and thus have no opinion other then the fact that a discussion needs to take place. Please take a moment to express your opinion, and please leave the original title of "Susan Mayer" intact while a concensus is reached. —Krushia 23:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

There isn't really much of an edit war going on. Just one editor who continues to move this article and the Gabrielle Solis article from their common names to their uncommon names. That editor is Venez111, and has already been advised and recently warned (by me) not to move this article to her uncommon name again. This article should be titled Susan Mayer...because that's her common name. Most people are not going to type in Susan Delfino when searching for this character, because that name is not her common name. And she is still listed as Susan Mayer on most official and unofficial sites, and even if she were not, she is mostly known as Susan Mayer. And it turns out that she still uses the name Susan Mayer as her professional name. The issue of moving a character's article from her common name to her uncommon name once she marries has been discussed at length on the Gabrielle Solis talk page, and consensus was reached not to move Gabrielle Solis from her common name again, the reasoning seeming to be something that we want to apply to as many characters as we can on the topic of common name. Despite this consensus, Venez111 continues to move these articles. Hopefully, since my latest comment to Venez111, Venez111 will listen. If Venez111 voices his or her thoughts in this discussion, then maybe this point can be stressed further, but Venez111 does not really seem to respond to comments/questions on Wikipedia. Either way, this article does not belong under the title of Susan Delfino. Flyer22 23:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the discussion. I just read the lengthy comments over at Gabrielle Solis, and I'm tempted to add my vote for opposition as well, however I don't think I'm educated enough in the subject to qualify. In the meantime I'll help you keep up with the naming spam going on. Once again people - please DO NOT change the name to Susan Delfino while there is no concensus for doing so. If you believe it needs to be changed, you must discuss it here. Krushia 04:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the help. I'm not sure that you need to know much about this subject to vote, but thank you again for the help in keeping these articles at their common names. It's much-appreciated. These sort of moves have happened to the articles of real-life women on Wikipedia as well. For instance, the Britney Spears article was renamed Britney Federline. I assume that didn't last long, considering that most people never thought of Britney as Britney Federline (I'm certain). Anyway, I'll see you around, Krushia. Flyer22 05:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
