First name in title

Any reason this man's first name is not included in the title of the article? LastDodo (talk) 10:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

That was how he was commonly known. Bmcln1 (talk) 12:45, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Doesn't matter how he was so called "commonly known". It is not correct and he is an important historical figure. No historian or encyclopaedia would make an entry under a so-called "commonly known" incorrect name. The monarch and the House of Commons certainly did not change his name, please! William Macadam (talk) 14:10, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Look up a few historical figures and see. Bmcln1 (talk) 15:19, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

So you believe all the numerous historical memorials (among them his his grave, Westminster Abbey memorial, Norwich Cathedral memorial, the Buxton memorial in Victoria Gardens by the House of Lords, removed for safekeeping from Parliament Square during WWII, and re-sited there afterwards or The Thomas Fowell Buxton memorial in Weymouth) to Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton are all wrong and all the books he authored are wrongly attributed by him as by Thomas Fowell Buxton and The Thomas Fowell Buxton Society is wrong? I am afraid you, Sir or Madam, are the one who is in error on this. There is not a single reputable historian that refers to him as you do by only his middle and last name? Wikipedia is supposed to be an accurate on-line encyclopaedia, my friend, not a rewriting of history to an obscure nickname source. William Macadam (talk) 23:19, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh oh ouch ouch. Sorry, the tone of this conversation ends it as far as I'm concerned. Rattle or battle on if you will. Bmcln1 (talk) 23:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Do you have a source that would back up your view here? Thanks LastDodo (talk) 13:20, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
