I would have thought that the purpose of having a separate MIR is to sort out precisely such matters. Any thread from the classic era with just a single first name to me is immediately suspect. Of course there will be some that are well-established because they've been investigated (in MIR or elsewhere) and no better name is available.

I deliberately did not name him because for me it's not about his threads or rather him per se. I could have made links to various other threads by other members which I think should not have been started outside MIR as they were.
I am not saying that member has mixed up different models or has created duplicates of models in other threads. I am saying I think it would have been beneficial or better if he had first created a query in MIR to see if there are any other names for those models. To me that's the "sensible" way to do things, particularly when one only has a first name. Hypothetically, member A may have a pictorial of model X that only shows their first name but another member may happen to know of another pictorial, or other scans of the same, that provides a second name.

I agree it's not a matter for black and white rules. That's why I above suggested providing/devising some form of
guidance for both members and mods. Similar to those posts
after the section rules posts that add the advice to search vef for a model before starting a thread for her. That's an example of guidance to improve outcomes, rather than a strict rule.
