We specifically started this revote because people complained about the current system... And I'm one of them. A major flaw of the "most used or recognized" is that it's "too difficult to enforce". We need a system to judge which name is "more used" and we need a dedicated person to actually review the hundreds of characters to find out how we should name them. I have too much work on my hands to do so, you never finished this when you said you would and we have no other volunteers for it. A system that can't be enforced is useless.

"Judgement call" is one of the drawbacks of such a system. A proper system should encompass all entries, not leave some of them to randomness. It should make it clear how to name every single character, so that no user would be left hanging on the question "which name should I use in this case?". One user has already complained about this.

Page naming practically is a question of aesthetics. Redirects are used for any alternative names, so what the actual article is called really doesn't have much of any effect on the user, if they're searching on the wiki itself. It's mostly a matter of whether we want to be organised or not. Sure, people searching for an article on a site like google might have it harder to find what they're looking for, but if the alternative name is mentioned near the top of the page, it shouldn't affect it much. Especially since if the user is actually looking for the wiki article, they could just write "wiki" into the search to find what they're looking for.

Well, this option would probably be the best way for standartization, as the same rule could be applied to any page. But, page names would be awfully long... and some people have more than one avatar name...
