As in the case of, for example, Gabby Hayes, all print reference guides as well as his on-screen credits, always used the appellation George "Gabby" Hayes and that is how the article is titled, not simply, Gabby Hayes. Here, also, the subject is always referred to as Sylvester "Pat" Weaver or Sylvester (Pat) Weaver, never simply as Sylvester Weaver [also the name of a music personality with his own article] or Pat Weaver. Although we generally avoid using symbols in titles and expect most users to use the simple route of typing Gabby Hayes and Pat Weaver, redirects will still enable those typing all possible variations to reach their target. A strong argument can be also made for going in the opposite direction and using well-known stage names as main title headers, Major Bowes, not Edward Bowes or Moose Charlap, not Mark Charlap. This link to IMDb will show its reference as Sylvester L. Weaver Jr. and this link to the Encyclopedia of Television will show its reference as Weaver, Sylvester (Pat) —Roman Spinner (talk) 22:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
