:The majority consensus in the chat was that "duke" is awkward as a page title with other characters who are dukes, and because the story merely uses it as a title rather than capitalized as a name. Naming characters by an important relation is the [[:Category:Unnamed_characters|usual convention for unnamed characters]], so that is the most natural option. We do actually have a whole [[:Category:Titled_characters|"titled characters" category]] for those that you mentioned, but (1) I believe this is a convention we have been shifting away from (There are a lot of characters with no first name and a title who are NOT using this convention.) and most importantly (2) nearly all of them at least have some kind of unique name. We wouldn't title an article for an unnamed character simply "lord" or "lady" unless there were no better options. That is to say, I think [[High Emperor]] is the only exception to our normal conventions.--[[User:Jofwu|Jofwu]] ([[User talk:Jofwu|talk]]) 19:14, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
:: What other character's are named duke? To my knowledge there are no others and a simple redirect would resolve the issue regardless. I am also unaware of any other characters who have their relationship to another be their title rather than their given name in the story. As well as this the style guide itself very clearly states the convention is to use title's in this scenario, in fact the style guide from my reading of it makes 0 mention whatsoever about using a character's relationship with another as their title. It seems very clear that convention would be to refer to them as 'duke.' If anything referring to the character as Charlies father would be more confusing to a user since he is consistently referred to as the duke throughout the text. If someone wanted information on the character it would make the most sense to search them under what the story calls them.--[[User:Debarra|Debarra]] ([[User talk:Debarra|talk]]) 19:31, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
