Requested move
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Moved the suggested title appears to be the
commonname. Per the
Royality and nobility naming guidelines, the person's name comes first, followed by their title.

Oppose - Known for being editor-in chief of the Wall Street Journal Europe and not a a peer. Also no disambiguation is required for this article title.--

Support.
WP:NCPEER is quite clear. This peeress is no longer wholly or exclusively known by her pre-peerage nomenclature.
Kittybrewster ☎ 15:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)reply
Comment That is an argument against NCPEER and not relevant here.
Kittybrewster ☎ 11:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC)reply
Support.
WP:NCPEER is quite clear. Additionally, a quick check of google news confirms that she is now more commonly known with her peerage title than without. Note that Lucy-marie consistently opposes all conformance with NCPEER, and has failed to gain consensus to change it.--

Comment - There may have been no concensus to change but there was also no consensus to retain in its current form. There are many people on both sides who are in favour and who are opposed. Also can you please provide some evidence to susbstantiate the claim made that she is better known by her ennobled title.--

SUPPORT: Per Jimbo and other supporters. More common name. JoeGazz ▲ 16:39, 25 February 2011 (UTC)reply
A search in Google News (for the name "Wheatcroft", and only for recent news, as coverage after either
10 or
27 January is likely to be relevant) finds the following results:
Almost all of the coverage is about her career as a journalist. Based on this, the article should stay at its current title, although it's probably too early to determine. If other people are finding different results, please provide links or references.

Except that the guideline we use is not a look for what the majority of sources say, but whether or not the person is "almost exclusively" known by their common name. As she is quite frequently known by her title, none of the exceptions applies here.--

Is she still Editor in Chief of the Wall Street Journal?
This article says that she will stand down, and was published in November. --
