Ivan StewartIvan "Ironman" Stewart – Regardless of normal discouragements (id est WP:TITLEFORMAT), Baja Times and Design & Trend use the full alternative name. The Toyota Press Release via Autoblog uses the current name, but I found just a recent one. I think adding "Ironman" is more encyclopedic and educational. --Relisted.

  • Oppose. No reason to break with our usual procedures here. Any number of people could have nicknames inserted in their names. We just don't do it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Why don't we do it? In this case my jury is out and yet I strongly sympathise with the nom. A video's search may be telling on popular naming:
"Ivan Ironman Stewart" ("Mickey Thompson" OR "Cal Wells" OR "ProTruck Racing") gets "About 1,160 results" while
"Ivan Stewart" ("Mickey Thompson" OR "Cal Wells" OR "ProTruck Racing") gets "About 559 results".
Some other categories of search such as books give results marginally the other way but I would not be surprised if the Ironman references tended to be more prominent than non Ironman name references. GregKaye 16:13, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Same as Necrothesp. Jrcrin001 (talk) 01:24, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I see no reason for an exception to the standard formatting. Rreagan007 (talk) 01:10, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I am very familiar with off-road racing (as a long-term fan) and with Stewart's career. We don't use nicknames in the title even though I know that his nickname is prevalent. Walker Evans (racing driver) isn't Walker "The Legend" Evans, etc. Wikipedia is a formal encyclopedia. Nicknames, however prevalent, don't belong in article titles - except if the nickname is the ONLY way to refer to the subject (Scooter Gennett). Royalbroil 13:44, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
