Re-creation

I've recreated Benjamin Abalos, Jr. after having deleted it attempting to restore the "Ben Hur" redirect. Although I have removed much of the content due to copyright concerns, I may not have addressed all those issues. Any help with copy editing would be appreciated.

Benjamin Abalos Jr. → Benhur Abalos – Most RS use the name "Benhur". Examples Inquirer (Uses "Benhur Abalos Jr."), GMA, Rappler, Sun Star (Uses "Benhur Abalos Jr."), etc. "Benhur Abalos Jr." is also popular, even more popular than his birth name "Benjamin Abalos Jr,", but that's kinda wrong as his father was not named "Benhur". Howard the Duck (talk) 04:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the redirect Benhur Abalos and his nickname in the lead would be enough. Or, renaming it as Benjamin "Benhur" Abalos Jr. can do, according to MOS:NICKNAME. Benhur Abalos on the title might make some misconception if the reader doesn't read further about his birth name. RFNirmala (talk) 11:12, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia never does name the articles this way: "Benjamin "Benhur" Abalos Jr." Either it's "Benjamin Abalos Jr." or "Benhur Abalos". This should also distinguish him from his namesake father. Howard the Duck (talk) 23:18, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Howard the Duck I understand. Still, unless there's some other rule, I prefer keeping **Benjamin Abalos Jr.** RFNirmala (talk) 00:13, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The rule is if one name is preferred by the RS over all others, that's what we'll use. Sources using "Benhur" are currently more numerous than "Benjamin". Howard the Duck (talk) 00:20, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. No wonder why Benjamin Abalos sounded weird. HueMan1 (talk) 00:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Even the average person on the street refers to them as BH. Borgenland (talk) 05:54, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. "Benhur" is the most common name used in sources as OP said. Plus nicknames are very much allowed like with Bongbong Marcos and Bill Clinton. —seav (talk) 03:02, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
