We have no set policy for how to name the pages based on real people. For example, we have some people under their full names (William Alexander Abbott (New Earth), William Clark Gable (New Earth)), which I don't think is really necessary. Also, while DC's original characters are always listed under their birth name if known, that isn't being done for real people. (William Clinton (New Earth), Jerry Lewis (Earth-Twelve), Muhammad Ali (Earth-One), etc.)

There's also cases of pages based on the same real-life person having different names.
 * John Kennedy (Watchmen) vs. John F. Kennedy (New Earth)
 * Robert Edward Lee (Earth-1863) vs. Robert Lee (New Earth)
 * J.E.B. Stuart (The Brave and the Bold) vs. James Ewell Brown Stuart (New Earth)
 * Ulysses S. Grant (Earth-1863) vs. Ulysses Grant (New Earth)

Because of all this, I'd like to propose a small change to the Naming Conventions. If the character is a real-life person, call them what they're called in real life.

(And this all started when I realized Gerald Ford had made a few in-universe appearances.)
