Talk:Nikolai Gusev

Article title is poor (it can easily confuse)
The article title ("Nikolai Gusev") is poor/confusing, as there are/were three famous Soviet people of this name - the soldier general (b.1887), the author (b.1882, secretary to Leo Tolstoy and later author of many works about him) and the chess player (b.1922, awarded the Soviet Master of Sports title in 1961, many games listed at http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=37232 - the Gusev Countergambit is also named after him). But the page "Nikolai Ivanovitch Gusev" was retitled to this shorter one some time ago on the basis of the soldier general being "the clear primary" (??), so I don't want to get into an argument by reversing that change. I'm not an expert on Soviet society and its "primary" individuals and so I can't judge whether the earlier decision was correct. I merely state that IMHO this article needs retitling by the re-insertion of the middle name. I've made a half-solution by adding a hatnote to Gusev (surname), and I leave it to others to judge whether further action is needed on the article title, to make it easler for articles to be inevitably created someday for all three Gusevs (1 x N.Ivanovich, 2 x N.Nikolaevich).
