To-do list for Martin Luther King Jr.: history watch refresh Add comment in the FBI section regarding the FBI's actions against other integrationist and segregationist groups as described in Donner's "The Age of Surveillance". Possible there was a clandestine policy to suppress all "serious" racial agitation, integrationist and segregationist. Also, possible it was felt racial agitation could not be tolerated during the Cold War. It seems obvious there was animosity toward Dr. King on Hoover's part but there may be more to it than that.

A (Dr.) With the parentheses as well in his name as the title of the page. PaUZz LYte (talk) 23:47, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@PaUZz LYte: Read WP:DOCTOR. Sundayclose (talk) 00:33, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand. The link you provided doesn't justify not uncluding the "Dr." in his name he earned by studying communications and debate, in fact it does the opposite. Of course he is well known for Dr. hence all the places named after him as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. PaUZz LYte (talk) 12:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@PaUZz LYte: No, it doesn't do the opposite. Read it again very carefully. It states that the "Dr." title "should be used in a Wikipedia article only when the subject is widely known by a pseudonym or stage name containing such a title" (note the word I bolded: only). The default is to not include the title. "Dr. King" is not a pseudonym or stage name. He was addressed as "Dr. King" (as are most people with the title), but he is more widely referred to as MLK or his full name. Sundayclose (talk) 12:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand now thanks for clearing this up. I guess in the worry of trying to give him the recognition he deserves I only read "widely known" and stopped there. PaUZz LYte (talk) 13:48, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Luther King Jr. → Martin Luther KingMartin Luther King – Appearently this is (still) the common name. ErceÇamurOfficial (talk) 21:43, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose No way on this move. § Lingzhi (talk|check refs) 23:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope nope nope nope. Will always be Martin Luther King Jr. That is his entire name. Martin Luther King should remain a redirect. Wikisteveb4 (talk) 00:21, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose strongly.

Wikisteveb4 (talk) 00:22, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose I've never opposed something more in my entire life. EytanMelech (talk) 01:03, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Absolutely not. jengod (talk) 01:29, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose I would need to see significant indisputable evidence that "Martin Luther King" without "Jr." is the overwhelming common name. I still see the full "Martin Luther King Jr." on Britannica, the official Nobel Prize site, History.com, NACCP, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Parade magazine, Associated Press, CNN, to name a few reliable sources. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:30, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose He is much more commonly known as Martin Luther King, Jr. When he started becoming well known, his father was also a minister and active in the civil rights movement. So the "Jr." part of his name was frequently used and continued to be used. This request should be snow closed if it doesn't get some support soon. Sundayclose (talk) 02:47, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
