Page title
Is there a specific reason why the subject's full name, "Uthman ibn Abi al-As al-Thaqafi", is not being used as the title. The name is used in full at the outset of the article and in the infobox and is routinely used in full in [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Uthman+ibn+Abi+al-As+al-Thaqafi%22&btnG= scholarship], so why truncate it?

:No reason probably—other than keeping it concise. Not opposed to adding the nisba per your comment. Plus, it would help clarify that he was a Thaqafi, not a son of the Umayyad Abu al-As ibn Umayya, as some users previously thought. Al Ameer (talk) 16:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
