The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. I merged the earlier history so the full authorship history is now visible in one place. -GTBacchus^(talk) 03:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Matilda (character) → Matilda Wormwood — It is best to avoid using parenthesis in the title when possible and in this case the use of parenthesis is not needed. All fictional characters on Wikipedia use the first name & last name title, when the last name is known. The Matilda franchise also has the Wormwood family as supporting characters, so it's not like her last name isn't widely known.  Chantessy  18:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC) — Chantessy  18:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Support Character known by this name and it removes the need for a disambiguation. TJ Spyke 20:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Support. Good catch. Andrewa (talk) 23:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Support, but see comments below. Cross porpoises (talk) 22:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Matilda Wormwood was created two years before Matilda (character).[1] I think history merge should be performed so original author credit is kept, even though first article is only stub. Cross porpoises (talk) 22:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
