[edit] Requested move
Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche → Ferry Porsche He was and is known as Ferry Porsche, which distinguished him from his already famous father and his offspring. Hardly anyone knows all his official names by heart. It a mess to use all of those juniors and seniors in the article. See also the German wikipedia. --Matthead 15:57, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~
Support - common name rule, it's not just a family nickname, Ferry is what he's generally known as. Also the title of the German WP entry. ~ trialsanderrors 19:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Oppose - I don´t like the idea. I believe that it´s enough with the indirect linking. --AndresArce 14:39, 20 May 2006 (UTC)AndresArce
[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments
"Ferry" is just nickname of Ernst Porche - not real name. Is the same case as with his son Ferdinand Alexander Porsche being nicknamed "Butzi". Also I think that he haven't founded Porche AG - full name of Porsche is Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG. I think it was initially founded as Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AK and renamed later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ReconTanto (talk • contribs)

The above is an interesting debate, but either way the language, grammar, and style of the article are terrible; sorry if this offends anyone, but it seems to be a very poor translation. I am however unsure as to whether I should take time for this task as I do not want to offend anyone. ColinMarble 12:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
