William "Bill" Nicholson → William Nicholson (sound engineer) – We generally do not have quotation marked nicknames as titles, see any organized crime figure. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:54, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- Support per WP:NICKNAME: "Bill Clinton, not William "Bill" Clinton." —BarrelProof (talk) 18:37, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
Support move, but the title should be Bill Nicholson (sound engineer). Peter James (talk) 20:52, 21 September 2015 (UTC)- Why? according to IMDb, all of his credits have been as "William Nicholson" but the listing is at "Bill Nicholson" implying he took awards under that name. Any other evidence? — AjaxSmack 21:30, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- I looked at the sources, and several are dead links but others mention Bill Nicholson, not William. This includes the award nomination for Raging Bull. According to IMDB, Nicholson has been credited more recently as William, but I'm not sure whether this is enough to confirm that this is the name that should be used, without other sources.
