Hey, if one were to create a page for Kicker, should it be called Chad Jones, Kicker Jones, or a combination of both (like Chad 'Kicker' Jones)? Chad Jones is his real name, but Kicker is the name that people know him by. --FFN 10:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I think we should go with the most common name, which would be Kicker. Interrobang 15:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
From Help:Article types and titles: "Character articles about humans should use the human's full name if known. Characters with multiple names (as in the case of alter-egos) should have their article listed under their most prominent name, even if that means a human is listed under a code name instead of their real full name. For more detail on these complications, see Disambiguation."
And from Help:Disambiguation: "Characters with multiple names (as in the case of alter-egos) should have redirect pages at all names and their article under their most prominent name (hence Circuit Breaker instead of Josie Beller). Humans should be listed with their full name if possible (except in the case of alter egos) with redirects from nicknames."
All of which is a long way of saying that Interrobang is right. Just make sure to set up redirects. --Steve-o 18:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
