Dunan suggested that the Richard Smallhorn article be renamed to "Richard the Great."

There is some inconsistency on how character articles are titled. For example, we have John Trent (instead of "Sheppard") as the article title. On the other hand we have ShadowChild (insted of "Bianca Cavaleri" as the article title). So there's an inconsistency in whether we use the common name or the character's real name.

On this matter, I think we should use the more commonly known name, even if it's not the "real name" of the character. Using obscure real names like "Richard Smallhorn" may confuse people.

This is the policy on wikipedia, which states that:

Note that if we adopt this policy on a broad scale, we would need a number of changes (e.g., Peter Wortmuller, Theodore Zenga, Pavel Hubnik, Danny Brewer).
