Stephen Henderson (actor) → Stephen McKinley Henderson – Per the COMMONNAME. Seems like he is credited with his middle name by far most of the time, which makes sense since Stephen Henderson is a pretty regular name. Also, sources call him this as well.

Support per nomination. Although occasionally billed as "Stephen Henderson", subject is indeed most frequently credited and referenced by his full stage name. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:23, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A lot more than occasionally. Still less than half the time but, for the record, going by IMDb, more like almost 50% of time, including 20 out of 45 acting credits (and one of the others was as Stephen McKinley-Henderson, with a hyphen) and 6 out of 12 appearances as himself. He also has one "Thanks" credit naming him Stephen "Schmang" McKinley. On the other hand, per IBDB, he has been consistently credited on stage under his full name.

IMDb's numbering of credits is misleading since the site counts an entire TV series as a single credit. The actual number of Henderson's individual acting credits listed by IMDb is 70 and, among those, he is indeed billed as "Stephen Henderson" 20 times, which would be 28 or 29 percent. The "himself" appearances are indeed 50%, but the use of "McKinley" as part of his stage name, hyphenated and unhyphenated, does predominate. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:21, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:NATURAL. When a person's real name can be used, whether or not it's the most common variation, it's usually preferable to an artificial qualifier. Station1 (talk) 05:59, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Low Quality Image[edit]

The image currently on the page has a seemingly low resolution, or otherwise is obviously blurry. It would best be replaced by another higher quality photo. A. Rosenberg (talk) 16:38, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
