Talk:Anastasius Focht

Okay, this may be nitpicking, but since the character's real name is Frederick Steiner, that should be the article and "Anastasius Focht" should thus redirect to "Frederick Steiner", not the other way round as it is now. Since I don't know how to change the redirect, could one of the admins do it? Frabby 08:04, 10 January 2008 (CST)

I'll disagree with you only to play devil's advocate. I don't have a particular opinion on this, but he was known as Anastasius Focht for longer than he was known as Frederick Steiner, did more in ComStar, and is more famous for what he did in ComStar. Even after WoB announced his identity, he continued to be known as Focht. If there is consensus to move to article, I'll happily do it, but I don't think it should be done without it. Anybody else want to chime in? --Scaletail 08:53, 10 January 2008 (CST)

I agree with Scaletail -- I would redirect his Steiner name and keep the main stuff under Anastasius Focht. He's much more known under that name. Locis 10:59, 10 January 2008 (CST)

I also think the name should stay. His significant actions were made when he was Focht. Someone searching for him on this wiki might not even be aware of his original name. Haruspex 02:36, 11 January 2008 (CST)

From my Clanner point of view, I'd say the same thing : Anastasius Focht was a great man, and Frederick Steiner a name between many others...
