[edit] Notability

Wants to be established notability with reliable sources. I think there will some BCM article about her (I don't mean about any of her books). Winning British Chess Championship is an award so that is good enough. SunCreator (talk) 16:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forbes or Warwick?

Cathy married around 2005/6 and switched her name to Cathy Warwick - and that was the name she used for a recent TV appearance on the quiz show "Eggheads". However, FIDE and the 4NCL website still seem to have her as Cathy Forbes, so probably no need to switch just yet. Brittle heaven (talk) 17:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm quite surprised at someone of her feminist leanings changing her name at marriage, but maybe that's just me. This is a problem we could have with a number of recently married women, that the name they now prefer to be known by differs from the name most sources use, since some of it is historic. And that is on top of women who use one name professionally and another socially.

I'm inclined to use the name she prefers to be know by and use a redirect, since most other sources will eventually change. What do people think? PatGallacher (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I propose to move this to Cathy Warwick in a couple of days, unless anyone objects. However this could raise some issues about Wikipedia naming conventions. PatGallacher (talk) 02:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

The name the person uses is perfectly acceptable under the naming conventions. I agree with the move; just leave a redirect under her maiden name.--Kubigula (talk) 02:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
