Rename[edit]

Per WP:TITLESINTITLES, honorifics like "Dr" are not typically included in article titled. If he was always referred to as Dr in reliable sources I could see leaving it in the title but he isn't so I'm thinking the article needs to be renamed.

There are a lot of Charles Smiths on Wikipedia so his name needs to be qualified somehow. I'd thought of artist but Charles Smith (artist) already exists. Is there another good descriptor? Maybe "visual artist" or "folk artist"?Ca2james (talk) 19:45, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ca2james, From what I have researched he always uses it, it’s akin to a stage name, like Dr. John, it’s more conceptual. I think it’s important to keep as is. --Heathart (talk) 12:53, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Ca2james (talk) 14:05, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
