Just FYI, here's our current page name policy, I think:

1. Use civilian legal name instead of costumed alias (if known). 2. If person has used several legal names in their lifetime, use their earliest one (their birth name, if known) 3. First and last names only, no middle names (except for disambiguation) 4. If the are commonly called by a nickname version of their legal first name (Mike instead of Michael), we still use Michael. 5. However, if they have always been called Mike and never been called Michael, we will NOT assume their legal name is Michael (we used to do that, but we stopped). 6. If we only know their first name, we will use their costumed alias as the page name. 7. If we only know their last name, we will use their costumed alias as the page name unless its a common alias, then we may use the last name (for disambiguation). 8. If we only know a first name or a last name and they don't have a costumed alias, we will use the partial name (if they really deserve a page). If it's a last name, we may add an honorific.

Please correct if wrong
