I think the standard way to name a human subject of a Wikipedia article is by their bolded full name at the first mention (so *Dr. Maya [middle name(s)] Angelou*) and then by their last name (Angelou) by then on . From, Emily

Miss Angelou
Sorry to be a nitpicker, but while in high school I had the privilege of meeting DOCTOR Angelou (through a Facing History and Ourselves program),
and
it was impressed on us early and often (and effectively, it seems) before that meeting that DOCTOR Angelou's name is DOCTOR Angelou, not Maya, Miss Angelou, etc :)
I forget to use women's titles sometimes too, but if I remember, I take positive pleasure in calling women with PhD's "Dr." - especially in areas where people don't often use their titles. :)
