			When evaluating potentially famous names, approval authorities shall strive to use their best judgment following the guidelines below:
			*If the entire first page of a Google search references the same individual, the name must be modified.
			*If the results provide a substantial Wiki page, the name must be modified.
			*Stardom - If the name in question is relatively unknown, it may be approved.

			''Modifications: Famous Names may not be circumvented by adding a middle initial nor expanding the name. This will not satisfy the unique requirement to differentiate from the original name. (Example: Tom Cruise cannot be modified to Tom David Cruise, Thomas Cruise, Tom Cruiser, nor Tom McCruise, etc.)''
