The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Patricia Nixon Cox → Tricia Nixon Cox — Yes, Patricia is her "official" name, but I don't think I have ever heard her reffered to as "Patricia" during my lifetime. The way the article currently is titled (Patricia Nixon Cox) is setting a standard that no common names are allowed on Wikipedia. But what about other articles on Wikipedia that don't use official names? Take her mother, First Lady Pat Nixon, for instance. Do we now have to change Pat Nixon to "Thelma Catherine Ryan Nixon?" That's her official name, but nobody new her as that; the same is true here. —Happyme2219:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
