  @AMCIJP: We don't care what someone's full or official name is. Our WP:COMMONNAME policy dictates we use the most common name as the article title. UtherSRG (talk) 21:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

  Mr. McCall MacBain's most common name is John McCall MacBain as per below and should therefore be changed:

  Furthermore, the content of the actual John MacBain page is currently not consistent as all references in the body of the articles refer to the individual as Mr. McCall MacBain (most commonly used name for the individual as demonstrated above). AMCIJP (talk) 21:27, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Ping discussion initiator AMCIJP to let the know the discussion has moved here. Steel1943 (talk) 21:49, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

• Support, seems to be his COMMONNAME.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose - while gsearch shows the destination to be more common, g-scholar points in the other direction, and ngrams doesn't even have a single hit for the destination. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
• Support per nomination and Ortizesp. The article contains 30 inline cites and all of those do indeed reference subject as "John McCall MacBain", not as simply "John MacBain". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:43, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
• Support. Does appear to be his actual name and the one usually used. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:59, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
