Change of Wiki Page name

I want to have my father's name changed on the wiki page from Dick Felt to Richard Felt. His page is becoming a target for search engines and idiots who want to slander people. Curtis Felt (talk) 23:15, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I can imagine that wouldn't be a whole lot of fun. Generally, the standard for the naming of an article is to use what's in common usage, and every reference I can find from a quick Google search is that he was known from a public perspective by his nickname. Based on that, I'd be uncomfortable with just moving it without there being a community discussion — in fact, if I did so, I suspect that it'd get rolled back pretty quickly. I'd suggest you leave a note at WP:RM and see how it goes. In the meantime, what I could do is apply protection to the page so that it prevents the type of drive-by vandalism that's happening. I've actually never protected a page before, but I'd have to imagine there's a category under which this situation would fit. Mlaffs (talk) 23:35, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Please protect the page. This situation qualifies for special attention. Curtis Felt (talk) 00:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
