Comment
- Burnie Burns redirects here so finding the article isnt a problem. This is a biographical article so shouldnt it be titled by the persons original name? Tutmosis 04:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- If that were the case then articles on famous actors with "stage names" would have to be titled the same way. By the same logic, "Tom Cruise"'s article should be titled "Thomas Mapother". But nobody knows or refers to him as Thomas or his last name as Mapother. So no, the article should be titled by what subject is best known by. The Filmaker 05:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
