[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below, and per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Use common names of persons and things. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Patricia Nixon Cox → Tricia Nixon Cox — Yes, Patricia is her "official" name, but I don't think I have ever heard her reffered to as "Patricia" during my lifetime. The way the article currently is titled (Patricia Nixon Cox) is setting a standard that no common names are allowed on Wikipedia. But what about other articles on Wikipedia that don't use official names? Take her mother, First Lady Pat Nixon, for instance. Do we now have to change Pat Nixon to "Thelma Catherine Ryan Nixon?" That's her official name, but nobody new her as that; the same is true here. —Happyme22 19:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Oppose - There is already a redirect page at Tricia Nixon that points here, it's not appropriate to change the canonical article to use a common form of her name RainbowCrane | Talk 20:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Actually, that would be appropriate, per WP:UCN. Support move. Dekimasuよ! 15:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support based on Google: "Patricia Nixon", about 13,800; "Tricia Nixon" -Patricia, about 20,100. I'd also support a move to Patricia "Tricia" Nixon Cox. Ewlyahoocom 17:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
