Requested move

John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich → John Julius Norwich – most commonly used name. These may be controversial because of interpretation of the naming conventions. Deb 20:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Against wikipedia policy: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Other non-royal names. Redirects take care of common usage in these cases. Philip Baird Shearer 14:30, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support This case falls clearly into the range of exceptions-due-to-never-being-called-by-peerage-title. The full name can go at the beginning of the article. john k 15:57, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Use common name. Jonathunder 17:31, 2005 August 21 (UTC)
Oppose. – AxSkov (☏) 08:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support, yes, the policy when we wrote it originally allows (nay, demands) for this. James F. (talk) 20:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose against wikipedia policy on naming nobles. Gryffindor 14:58, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
Support. The 2nd viscount stuff is not part of common use. CDThieme 16:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support. --Francis Schonken 21:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 04:29, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Discussion

Add any additional comments

I'm proposing a move for this page because the subject is a successful author, historian and media personality and is never known by his full title. See also Talk:Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich (his dad). Deb 20:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

comment: of course I know him as John Julius Norwich, or just as "Norwich", but that may be just only because I have half a dozen of his books in my bookshelf. But I have also heard/read him called as Lord Norwich. I am not sure whether the consistency of naming should still be preserved. Arrigo 07:33, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My Word

He was host of the popular BBC radio panel game My Word! for four years.

For which period, exactly? 1976-1980, or...? --Jim Henry 23:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
