Article titles are hardly suitable to clarify, explain, or in any other way elaborate on the composition of a name. Any clarification can be placed in the article. Avoid (for example) adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original given name(s), in quotes or parentheses between first and

Years of birth and death are not normally used as disambiguators, as readers are more likely to be seeking this information than to already know it. Disambiguating by vital year may be necessary when there are multiple people with the same name and same specific disambiguation qualifier. In these

For historical figures for whom there is no dominant qualifier (at least no practical one), the descriptor may be omitted in favour of a single use of the date of birth or death. For historical figures, this will often be the date of death, when it is better known, more certain, or is more

Using the last name as the page title for a person, when the first name is also known and used, is discouraged, even if that name would be unambiguous, and even if it consists of more than one word. Unambiguous last names are usually redirects: for example,
2353: 831:" format, either because the person has no name in that form, or because they are much better known by some other name. The following sections cover cases where other formats may be considered or where other issues arise with applying the standard format. 607: 1799:
Honorifics and other titles such as "Queen", "Blessed", "Father", "Doctor" are not generally used to begin the titles of biographical articles, unless they are used to form the unambiguous name by which the subject is clearly best known (as in

The name used most often to refer to a person in reliable sources is generally the one that should be used as the article title, even if it is not the person's "real" name, and even if it appears to pass judgement on the person (as with

Exceptionally, when no direct name (not even a nickname) can be given for a person, or when such a name would have too much uncertainty and/or lack wide recognisability, a descriptive article title may be appropriate. For example:

This guideline contains conventions on how to name Knowledge (XXG) articles about individual people. It should be read in conjunction with Knowledge (XXG)'s general policy on article naming,

Generally, use the most common format of a name used in reliable sources: if that is with a middle name or initials, make the Knowledge (XXG) article title conform to that format. Examples:
477: 2028:, or numbers, that is apart from instances where more specific guidelines specify particular exceptions. If possible, limit the tag to a single, recognizable and highly applicable term. 2467:

623: 447: 237: 1526:, even if the person is not from Latin America, as most Spanish-speaking countries use the same naming convention for generational suffixes as the United States and Canada. Examples: 2255:
Occasionally, multiple persons with a strong connection are treated in a single article (the individuals may or may not also be the subjects of separate articles). Examples include:

Adding or subtracting a second last name or a patronymic artificially, as a disambiguation aid, is rarely advised. The most usual form of the name is the one that should be used.
881: 565: 535: 385: 358: 338: 2016:
The disambiguator is usually a noun indicating what the person is noted for being in their own right. In most cases, these nouns are standard, commonly used tags such as
1080:
If reliable sources write out several or all of a subject's given names nearly as often as they use initials, prefer the version with the names written in full. Example:
791: 406: 252: 560: 463: 775: 596: 485: 2379:. If such information consists of more than a short introductory paragraph, it is better to make separate "description" and "disambiguation" pages, for instance: 1819:

These are not usually problematic, except possibly in terms of 2025: 2152: 1746:. To summarize: avoid such a stylization unless it is found in the name in the overwhelming majority of independent reliable sources; e.g. 1385:). For many monarchs and saints, this format is useful for disambiguation, although in some cases the ambiguity persists – see for example 1227:). Only for very few Russians is the patronymic customary in English, notwithstanding widespread use of patronymics in the native language. 975:
Similarly, don't use a first name (even if unambiguous) for an article title if the last name is known and fairly often used. For example,
570: 46: 2143:, advising to give more weight to reliable sources published after the name change when deciding whether the article title should change. 2418: 1505:. For others, use ordinals if they are commonly used in reliable sources. Do not place a comma before a Roman numeral designation, e.g. 2072: 2068: 2048: 333: 2524: 2438: 983:

If there is no usual form of conventional disambiguation, place a disambiguating tag in parentheses after the name. Examples:

Sometimes, mostly for names from antiquity, a single word is traditional and sufficient to identify a person unambiguously:
