Should change name from Randy to J. Randall "Randy" Minchew edit
Hi, just wanted to suggest that the title of the page is changed to J. Randall "Randy" Minchew or just J. Randall Minchew, instead of the more informal "Randy". I am not sure how this is done and I don't think I have the authority to do this. Thank You 72.73.21.195 (talk) 01:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- See WP:OFFICIALNAME. The article's title should reflect the name by which the subject is best known, not an "official" or full name. Minchew himself is not consistent about "J. Randall"; in fact, he called himself "J. Randy Minchew" on the 2011 ballot. If it turns out over the course of people editing this article that some other variant predominates, an editor will probably change it. And of course redirects can be added, as well. "Randy Minchew" is certainly consistent with other Wikipedia article titles: see Bob McDonnell or Tim Kaine, for instance.Rklear (talk) 05:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
