John Gummer, Baron Deben → John Gummer – WP:COMMONNAME. While the term "Lord Deben" is used in some contexts by reliable sources, it seems that Gummer's actual name, "John Gummer" is the common name. The article title appears to be controversial,[1][2][3] hence listing here to determine consensus. -- Trevj (talk) 12:42, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment used to be known as John Selwyn Gummer, why wasn't his full name in the lede? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:44, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, per WP:FULLNAME. I was going to do so, but see you already have. Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 12:17, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I assumed it was just an oversight, I have no particular opinion on the RM, it sounds reasonable. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:38, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Birth place confusion

I have noticed that the birth places differ in the introduction and the side details on the right. The introduction states that the birthplace is Stockport, Cheshire but the side details say London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.174.31 (talk) 07:26, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for pointing out the problem, I have changed the infobox to show Stockport as per the body of the article. Also GRO Index has birth registered at Stockport. Keith D (talk) 20:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
