search on Google and you can obviously find plenty of articles which mention his title as "Ashoka the Great"
if you mention just Ashoka it clearly a harm to his title cause he was one of greatest Indian Emperors and no one ever could close to him.
which obviously should be empathized literary. it's same for Alexander. Alexander was one of greatest Emperors and people mention his title with "the great" at end of his name to empathize his powerfulness. I suggest you at least remove all redirection pages
and move this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurya_Ashoka_the_Great
page to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashoka_the_Great
it is the exact place this article should be in. since only admins can do that this request goes to you.
