:::There is a prominent duke in Elantris who is often referred to as "the duke". (and a few other minor characters who are dukes it seems) Policy reasons aside, that's the main practical argument for this particular decision. Or at least, I assume that was the primary reason. Like I said, this was a public discussion so I can't speak to the reasons for everyone who voiced their opinion. I don't think there's any disagreement that "duke" should redirect to [[Charlie's father]], so this shouldn't cause any confusion or difficulty for people trying to find the article.
:::Regarding the style guide policy, I apologize--I was mistaken, this point is not outdated. Regardless, it does sound like the intent with the policy is to use titles with surnames when a first name is not known. We will need to clarify that, it looks like. We do still think that our typical method of referring to relations for entirely unnamed characters is best. We'll have to add that to the style guide because, as I mentioned, this is standard for characters with no known name. There's not any characters who use a relationship as an article title rather than a given name. The issue here is that the duke doesn't have an in-world name given.--[[User:Jofwu|Jofwu]] ([[User talk:Jofwu|talk]]) 21:21, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 
== Proposal for move: Duke of Diggen's Point ==
 
I feel using the title 'Duke of Diggen's Point' would alleviate most of the concerns in other discussion - it sets the character under his own identity, but still sets him apart from any other duke that already exists or could appear later. Any concerns? --[[User:RadagastWiz|RadagastWiz]] ([[User talk:RadagastWiz|talk]]) 02:56, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 
: That was also suggested as an option, but also had opposition for being a bit of a mouthful and perhaps a bit presumptuous about his exact title, as well as being less consistent with what's been done for other unnamed characters. --[[User:Stargazer|Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Stargazer|talk]]) 03:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
