From the two options above, just two are to be considered (at least, for me): "Agent Elder (Earth-616)" and "Elder (S.H.I.E.L.D.) (Earth-616)". The remaining option is just a no.

Agent Elder (Earth-616) By far the best option. As I put here, on the Character Pages subsection of the Article Pages section in the Naming Conventions page, it's said:


 * If the real name is not known:
 * Name consists of the most well known (or latest) codename and the partial real name (or alias) in parenthesis. The most well-known codename is better than most recent codename, and real name is better than alias, even if it less complete.

Since Elder's full name wasn't revealed and his codename already includes his surname (thus making the use of the partial real name in parenthesis unnecessary), this page's name should be Agent Elder (Earth-616), not just Elder (Earth-616).

I know "Agent Elder" is not a codename, but it's the only identification he gets in the few issues in which he appears. Plus, I think an approach similar to that in this case is preferable.

Elder (S.H.I.E.L.D.) (Earth-616) Though it might work for characters who work for organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D., it wouldn't work for characters like Deputy Sims and Sheriff Studard, for example. If we decide to follow this approach, then their pages would be renamed to something like this:


 * "Sims (Deputy) (Earth-616)" and "Studard (Sheriff) (Earth-616)" - nothing really changes here;
 * "Sims (Deputy of Daly County) (Earth-616)" and "Studard (Sheriff of Daly County) (Earth-616)" / "Sims (Daly County Deputy) (Earth-616)" and "Studard (Daly County Sheriff) (Earth-616)" / "Sims (Daly County) (Earth-616)" and "Studard (Daly County) (Earth-616)" - though it might be useful if characters who have the same names and jobs and come from other places appear in the future, it's too long, thus not being suitable since it was one of them reasons we decided to update the naming conventions to allow character pages to be named after their most used/recognizable name;
 * "Sims (DCPD) (Earth-616)" and "Studard (DCPD) (Earth-616)" - would work if there wasn't another DCPD (DC Police Departament);
