Hi, I came by to promote this, but the page needs to be moved to Fred Murree and the lead changed to Template:Tq per WP:COMMONNAME. The Early life section should begin: Template:Tq I will take care of adjusting this template after the page move. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you Template:U for pointing to the correct policy on this. I have moved the page and changed the opening line per you suggestion. I did not however write Template:Tq because the sources do not indicate the subject's name at birth. It is not clear if "Bright Star" is a given name or a stage name.
