Grabbed this from the WordOfGod link you posted: "Note that a number of people reject the notion of Word of God, considering something to be canon only if it appeared in the original source material" That's where I stand. As a "God" of entertainment, myself, I know that my "words" are never necessarily canon unless it is included in the "source material". This has nothing to do with us not wanting to take effort. Renaming a page only takes a few seconds, but we chose not to. The only time we should resort to the "Word of God" is if the original source material contains insufficient information or mistakes.

Imagine there was a character named Jonathan Smith. However, he is known as John Smith 99% of the time. I think it would be safe to name his page Jonathan Smith and redirect John Smith to the page. Same goes with Candy Person and Root Beer Guy, respectively.
