It does hurt the article That s why I removed it It implies that he was known by many names which is wrong It also clearly contravenes the style guide Did you read that If you do you ll see the following three examples from Fidel Castro Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz born August 13 1926 from Fran ois Mitterrand Fran ois Maurice Adrien Marie Mitterrand October 26 1916 January 8 1996 from Brian Jones Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones 28 February 1942 3 July 1969 You might also notice the following text While the article title should generally be the name by which the subject is most commonly known the subject s full name should be given in the lead paragraph where the subject uses a popular form of their name in everyday life then care must be taken to avoid implying that a person who does not generally use all their forenames or who uses a familiar form has actually changed their name It is not necessary to spell out why the article title and lead paragraph give a different name Doesn t that seem quite clear and unambiguous 190 44 158 38
