I think I found an excellent example of how the standard first/last-name-based naming policy fails.

Meet. Quite a colourful figure by all accounts. But, alas, lacking in the last name. Thus, two different editors, following the naming policies, made two different pages for him: Rupert (Dog of War!) and Rupert (The Roundheads). Later, a merge request was made, but a Wiki of this scale is understandably slow in keeping track of such things. (By the way, the merge request is in the wrong direction as The Roundheads was released earlier.)

The sad part of this story is that his real full name is given in the comic. So there is all the reason to call the page Rupert of the Rhine, except that, on the face of it, it violates the current naming policies.

While the naming may remain in question, I would appreciate an admin performing the merge. I will clean up the page afterwards, combining the information.
