Should the article be called Micky Walford?
Two questions come to mind. 1-if he was often called "Micky Walford", does this amount to the common name he was known by such that we should name this article that? Second, is Micky a common enough nickname for Michael that it does not need to be in quotes. The example given in Wikipedia biography manual of style is use William Henry Gates not William Henry "Bill" Gates. The counter example is Elizabeth Stamatina "Tina" Fay which would suggest that here we should either use Michael Moore Walford or use Michael Moore "Micky" Walford, it depends on exactly how you read the references to this issue in the MOS. Here is the full statement "It is not always necessary to spell out why the article title and lead paragraph give a different name. If a person has a common English-language hypocorism (diminutive or abbreviation) used in lieu of a given name, it is presented between quotation marks or parentheses within or after their name. Example:
 * Use: William Henry Gates III
 * Avoid: William Henry "Bill" Gates III" - If he was Mike it would be clear to me, but Micky is a harder to determine case. Is Micky Bob and Bill level or not? Or is Michael being "Mike", "Mick" or "Micky" like the 4 plus etc. nicknames from Elizabeth?John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
