Article titles for names...
editIn *general*, Wikipedia only uses what is actually part of the legal name of the person, unless something needs to be added to disambiguate two people (for example Michael Richardson (cricketer) and Michael Richardson (politician)). Since there is only one Joan Lescinski with a wikipedia article, no disambiguation is needed (Middle names/initials can vary)
A similiar situation to President Lescinski is the immediate past president of Georgetown, Leo J. O'Donovan. While the S.J. *should* be placed after his name *in* the article about him, it should not be part of the article name.
The Policy on article names for people is at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) and perhaps relevant Wikipedia:Naming conventions (clergy)
I'll be happy to respond to any questions you have on this.Naraht (talk) 04:06, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
