Forum:CT:Nicknames as article titles

While checking our manual of style and our naming conventions, I noticed that neither of them discuss the acceptableness of nicknames as titles. However, the community's stance&mdash;the de facto situation&mdash;is that the most factual, "official" name of the subject is to be used, unless it is not known, e.g. "CC-5620" instead of "Joe". Therefore, I propose an inclusion to the naming conventions to deal with this issue. The proposed wording&mdash;which may change&mdash;is the following:

"'The title of an article should be the subject's official name in the Star Wars'' universe, as opposed to its nicknames or callsigns. Therefore, 'CC-5620' is preferred over 'Joe' and 'Jabba Desilijic Tiure' instead of 'Jabba the Hutt'. If no such name exists, the subject's in-universe nickname or callsign is to be used, and the article should be marked with Nickname. If the subject has no in-universe name, a conjectural name and the Conjecture template must be used."

I await feedback on this matter.&mdash; TK-999  ( Rise of the Empire ) 12:33, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Include a paragraph dealing with nicknames into the naming conventions (+1)
