Metcalfe[edit]

Why hasn't this article been renamed Sally Metcalfe? Canon2015a (talk) 16:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because she's still better known by the name Sally Webster. See WP:COMMONNAME. Pages don't get moved because a character changed their name in more recent episodes. Dot Cotton and Pat Butcher are good examples of this. Anemone Projectors 16:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sally Webster → Sally Metcalfe – This is the name used in reliable sources such as Daily Mail and Digital Spy, and is now more common. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 20:03, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose - The character has been known as Sally Metcalfe for 1 year. She has been known as Sally Webster for 29 years and is one of the shows most notable characters, all under this name. She is still known as Webster in the media despite her the character's marriage which suggests her common name is definitely Sally Webster. [9][10][11]Rain the 1 20:28, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Given that the character is better known with the name Sally Webster, the article should still refer to her by that name (aka her common name). The first sentence of the lead should also be adjust to change this practice of referring to characters by their maiden or married name is strongly discouraged. Aoba47 (talk) 02:52, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, per WP:COMMONNAME, she is better known as Sally Webster and has had that name much longer than the more recent name. anemone projectors 18:44, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
