I am not aware of cases on English Wikipedia which are named after the
person except where that person used their name as their username.  It
is typical that we avoid a name where a username exists.

However there are many cases named after people where their name is
also their username.

English Wikipedia ArbCom usually blanks old decisions on request of a
person whose real name is mentioned in the page.
