Ghost Riley → Simon "Ghost" Riley – Most sources use his full name plus his nickname, so I think WP:COMMONNAME would apply. I might be wrong, though. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 02:13, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:NICKNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 17:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I agree with @162 etc.'s interpretation of WP:NICKNAME. Not unlike Abigail "Fetch" Walker and Jeff "Joker" Moreau, the vast majority of reliable secondary sources identify the character by his full name + nickname in parenthesis, and that has not changed in the years since the character's introduction. While it is fine in article content, Wikipedia does have very specific rules about the title of said article itself. So we have Fetch (Infamous) and Joker (Mass Effect) as article titles, instead of their full names + nicknames in parenthesis. Following the precedents, and also because the character's Ghost nickname and gimmick has left its mark in other titles throughout the COD franchise (e.g. dog named after him or as the main inspiration for the name and theme of Call of Duty: Ghosts, I would argue that the appropriate title for this article should be Ghost (Call of Duty), not Ghost Riley which feels like a misguided attempt to follow the naming convention behind related character Soap Mactavish.
