Article name and alpha sort

Khenchen is an honorific title, a concatenation of Khenpo (a degree similar to Geshe) and Chen, roughly meaning "great." Given that we never include Dr., Mrs., Kyabjé, H.H. (His Holiness), H.E. (His Eminence), Venerable, HRH (Her Royal Highness) or virtually any other honorific or descriptive title in the titles of articles named for persons, should not this article be moved to Palden Sherab? Also, and separately, someone who knows what they're doing with it should add the DEFAULTSORT stuff to this article so that the categories and whatnot are not being alphabetized under K; that said, I'm not sure what the conventions are for sorting Tibetan names since there is no proper concept of surname (i.e., all the names are "given" names). --Geoff Capp (talk) 00:34, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
