Talk:Jeremy (The Stones of Spookiness)

Name
Ok, so this character (an in-universe version of Jeremy Hoad) was first mentioned in The Scarlet Empress, and purportedly made his first appearance in The Stones of Spookiness. Now, I'm curious: would it be better to move it to "Jeremy (The Stones of Spookiness)", or should it be "Jeremy Hoad (The Stones of Spookiness)" with a template?

 * While usually I go in favour of conjectural names, it seems to be a stylistic choice that Jeremy's surname is never used, so in this instance, I'd go with Jeremy (The Stones of Spookiness). 23:07, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay so I see this has been renamed regardless... I don't feel this is appropiate. I can't go into full detail about my exact reasoning right now, given I've a lot of work to do elsewhere on the Wiki, but I feel this is probably veering too close to doxxing, and so the rename should be reverted until a forum thread can be started. Thoughts? 20:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry. I'm not quite sure how it's doxxing, considering our real world page for him is located there, but I'll move it back for now. Aquanafrahudy  📢  20:35, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * My concern revolves around his consent to be fully identified by name. He wrote that novel over two decades ago, and while his name may well be on the cover of that book, he may not want to be fully identified in Magrs's newer works, which are much more recent. Comparably, some of the people mentioned in The Story of Fester Cat are real, but that does not mean we should identify these people on the Wiki. Same goes for Paul's family members he referenced in some books. 20:42, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * See what you mean. It's the same sort of issue as we have at Forum:Coverage/validity: DWA meta-fiction. Aquanafrahudy  📢  20:47, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
