Use of "Knight" as primary in lead
[edit]PerWP:OTHERNAMES there isn't a problem listing in the lead alternative names that the character is commonly known by, but consideringElaine Knight is not well-known, in terms of contextual relevance and cited references, including it as "Elaine Knight (alsoPeacock)" when hercommon-name is in fact Peacock, and has been since the character's introduction in 2014, it is a bit... premature to change the lead for her marital name (of less than a week of episodes) is contextually wrong.livelikemusic(TALK!)16:09, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Articles for other EastEnders characters;Pat Butcher,Dot Cotton,Kathy Beale,Janine Butcher,Ronnie Mitchell,Tanya Branning,Tiffany Butcher,Lola Pearce,Zainab Masood,Rainie Cross,Kate Mitchell (EastEnders), and more all feature the character’s most recent name in the article lead rather than the character’s common name, the same is true for characters from other UK soaps (e.g.Gail Platt,Sally Webster,Tracy Barlow,Nancy Hayton etc.) - it feels inconsistent to make an exception for Elaine.82.32.154.24 (talk)12:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- There are multiple articles[10][11] from different outlets referring to her as Elaine Knight, not to mention the credits of the show itself - itis relevant to have the character’s current name as primary in the lead as is clearly the convention with UK soap characters, I am yet to find a single UK soap character article that does not follow this convention.
- The name Elaine Knight is cited, relevant, and known enough to be primary in the article lead with Elaine Peacock remaining the common name used in the article title etc.82.32.154.24 (talk)18:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, the MOS stands and aspointed out, the article name should be the first name. And just becauseother pages do this does not mean this one automatically does; hence the discussion here and at the Soap Opera Project. As such, via aGoogle search"Elaine Knight" "EastEnders" produces about 9,670 results (0.44 seconds), while"Elaine Peacock" "EastEnders" produces about 21,700 results (0.36 seconds)... that is 12,030 more results for Peacock over Knight. Again, its inclusion as the main name is premature at this time.livelikemusic(TALK!)04:25, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
