Move of main title header from Pat Weaver to Sylvester "Pat" Weaver[edit]

As in the case of, for example, Gabby Hayes, all print reference guides as well as his on-screen credits, always used the appellation George "Gabby" Hayes and that is how the article is titled, not simply, Gabby Hayes. Here, also, the subject is always referred to as Sylvester "Pat" Weaver or Sylvester (Pat) Weaver, never simply as Sylvester Weaver [also the name of a music personality with his own article] or Pat Weaver. Although we generally avoid using symbols in titles and expect most users to use the simple route of typing Gabby Hayes and Pat Weaver, redirects will still enable those typing all possible variations to reach their target. A strong argument can be also made for going in the opposite direction and using well-known stage names as main title headers, Major Bowes, not Edward Bowes or Moose Charlap, not Mark Charlap. This link to IMDb will show its reference as Sylvester L. Weaver Jr. and this link to the Encyclopedia of Television will show its reference as Weaver, Sylvester (Pat)—Roman Spinner (talk) 22:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lede image[edit]

Sylvester Weaver (executive) → Sylvester L. "Pat" Weaver – per WP:COMMONNAME. Subject was not known to the public nor was he referenced as simply "Sylvester Weaver". Here is his entry at Britannica, here is his entry at encyclopedia.com, here is his entry at Encyclopedia of Television News, here is his entry at Ad Age Encyclopedia, here is his entry at IMDb and here is his entry at Television Academy Emmy Awards. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why not just Pat Weaver? AllegedlyHuman (talk) 21:11, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose You could make a case for Pat Weaver (which already redirects here) but the proposed title that combines both names is a bad option. See WP:PSEUDONYM. 162 etc. (talk) 21:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per the above, move to Pat Weaver. BD2412 T 21:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Although I submitted for the nomination the full name form used by Television Academy Emmy Awards, I would also support the short form, Pat Weaver, per AllegedlyHuman, 162 etc. and BD2412. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:39, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Pat Weaver. Non-standard to insert nicknames in article titles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:34, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
