Bernadette Nolan → Bernie Nolan – WP:COMMONNAME. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 13:24, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Unreal7 (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. She's very commonly seen under both names, so I think it's better to keep it at her full name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:59, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ever since the cancer, every single source is Bernie. Unreal7 (talk) 22:16, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Throughout her career she has always been referred to as Bernie. Sure, she was born Bernadette, but this is not her professional name.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 16:37, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I'm gonna support this, never known her use her actual name. --[[ axg ◉ talk ]] 14:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protect?[edit]

Given that incorrect reports of Nolan's death recently led to erroneous changes on this page, should there be some protection? Smurfmeister (talk) 12:48, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Typically protection is placed after there has been abuse. We don't typically preemptively block editing to pages. Tiggerjay (talk) 06:16, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
