  • Most media houses make the same mistake. The name is OC! The present Wikipedia name O. C. can easily be mistaken to be initials from two different names, which it is not. OC is just a short form of his first name Okechukwu, so it should be written together.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 19:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
User:Jamie Tubers, would you please explain why Newswatch (Nigeria) (Google Books) or online archive Abuja's Night Of Excellence By Rachel Ogbu Monday, May 05, 2008. is not a WP:RS reliable source? In ictu oculi (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
By the way, IMDB uses 'O.C. because Capital letter cannot end a name (according to IMDB's policy).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:45, 7 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Support I'm convinced by the subject's own usage and usage in sources. Sources that differ from this usage may, like IMDB, be following their own style guides. And as I said in the Allmendinger RM, "Linguistic prescriptivism aside, periods and spaces are completely unnecessary to meaning. Whether I write J. R. R. Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien, or JRR Tolkien, you know exactly what I mean." --BDD (talk) 17:52, 12 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • weak Oppose. I agree with BDD that either result here makes little difference. Inconsistent usage among the sources means that there is no compelling reason to make a change in WP. If the subject has a clear preference for the spelling of his name, eventually that preference will be evident among sources, and WP can then change the article title. In order words, default to the status quo until sources compel us to do otherwise. Xoloz (talk) 18:05, 13 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
