Dr. ?

[edit]

Where does the "Dr." come from? Does he have a Ph.D.? What discipline?

As it says in the article, he graduated medical school, so he's a medical Dr. I presume. I gather from an interview that he isn't practising since he obviously has lots of work! 218.143.30.1 (talk) 01:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's proper to identify him as "Dr. Ray Muzyka" in the article, and I seem to be engaged in an editing war with someone over this. No other Drs are identified this way, even when their doctor-hood is in fact remotely relevant to the contributions that make them noteworthy (unlike here). For example Carl Sagan, Marie Curie, Laura Schlessinger. In the former two cases, it is professionally relevant. In the latter case, it is relevant because it is the public image she promotes of herself. In none of these cases is the individual identified as "Dr." in the article. Why is Ray Muzyka different?
Reference to the wikipedia standard: "In general, styles and honorifics should not be included in front of the name, but may be discussed in the article. " See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC7C:CE20:39DD:B6D4:DA07:30D0 (talk) 03:07, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The only exception that might apply is provided as "Where an honorific is so commonly attached to a name that the name is rarely found without it, it should be included." A simple google search will reveal that this is clearly not the case here, with 345,000 results for "Ray Muzyka" and only 54,800 results for "Dr. Ray Muzyka", leaving 290,200 references without the honourific -- a clear majority.
