Re " in the of contemporary democratic principles" could that be " in the light of contemporary democratic principles"? Ϣere SpielChequers 14:56, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

OutsiderKK: The
MOS:DOC guideline about "Academic titles and degrees" says Academic and professional titles ... should be used in a Wikipedia article only when the subject is widely known by a pseudonym or stage name containing such a title. However, verifiable facts about how a person attained his or her title should be included in the article.
As you say in your edit summary, verifiable facts about how Meral Akşener attained her Ph.D. is included in the article, which is fine. But I fail to see that this justifies the use of her "Dr." title in the infobox. The guideline says that the title shall be used in the article only when etc., saying nothing about exceptions regarding the infobox. Can you please point to what you base your understanding on? Regards! --

Academic and professional titles ... should be used in a Wikipedia article only when the subject is widely known by a pseudonym or stage name containing such a title.In Turkey, individuals who have earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree (or any kind of doctoral degree) use the title Doctor on almost all platforms as a prefix. It is very common for Meral Akşener to be announced as Dr. Meral Akşener in party gatherings, similar to Necmettin Erbakan, Doğu Perinçek or Devlet Bahçeli.

Post-nominal letters for academic degrees following the subject's name ... may occasionally be used within an article where the person with the degree is not the subject, to clarify that person's qualifications with regard to some part of the article, though this is usually better explained in descriptive wording. Avoid this practice otherwise.(Bolding is mine.) Thank you! -- T*U ( talk) 06:53, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
