Talk:Doc Holliday

Rename possibility
This is a genuine question, and I'm neither FOR nor AGAINST it... I was wondering whether it would be better to rename the page to "Holliday" or "John Holliday" given the fact that "Doc" was not actually his name, but a nickname given to him since he was the local doctor of O.K. Corral, Tombstone? --DCLM ☎  13:02, October 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Was the full name "John H. Holliday" given in-universe? Amorkuz ☎  13:34, October 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm fairly certain it was never said in the TV story but I can't speak for the novelisation. When he was asked if he was Doc Holliday, he answered with "That is my name", so he certainly identifies with it. -- Saxon (✉️) 13:39, October 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Haven't read the novelisation. Does he appear in other media? --DCLM ☎  13:48, October 22, 2019 (UTC)
 * The article mentions events around his death at the bottom. This happens in the novel, so perhaps his has a tombstone revealed with his name on it. Not sure. --DCLM ☎  13:53, October 22, 2019 (UTC)
 * Good point about the novelisation. Indeed, the novelisation states his name as "Doctor John H. Holliday". Amorkuz ☎  16:34, October 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the novelisation is irrelevant here - per Thread:232143, names given in novelisations cannot be used for page titles. – N8  ( ☎ / 👁️ ) 23:42, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
