Arthur D. Gardner → Arthur Duncan Gardner — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:16, 1 January 2011 (UTC) per his official biography User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:09, 25 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's not adequate reason for a move. See the policy on article names. Andrewa (talk) 10:40, 25 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

With scientists, all their primary publications are with initials. All secondary sources refer to "Arthur Duncan Gardner". What has your research determined? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:59, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

If that's all true and you provide evidence of it, you'll have a strong case. Until then, no case to answer. Andrewa (talk) 12:27, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Publication

"E. Chain, H. W. Florey, A. D. Gardner, NG Heatley, MA Jennings, J. Om-Ewing, and AG Sanders, "Penicillin as a chemotherapeutic agent," Lancet, 1940,2: 226-228. ..." Howard Florey, Baron Florey has more Ghits as H. W. Florey, because it is one of the most cited scientific papers in history. He has thousands of GHits under H. W. Florey, but we have him as Howard Florey, Baron Florey. What evidence do you have to the contrary?

One publication hardly supports the claim that With scientists, all their primary publications are with initials. All secondary sources refer to "Arthur Duncan Gardner". It's completely irrelevant to the second clause, and its support of the first is of the from "one X is Y, therefore all X are Y"... not a good look.

There may well be a case for the move, but it hasn't been made yet. Unless you intend to make one, this is a waste of time. Andrewa (talk) 09:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Studied Classics at Rugby

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've noticed on this article that it states Gardner went to Rugby School and studied Classics. Now I'm no expert but I would have thought that at Rugby you'd study more than one subject, with it being what the British would call a school and not a university. What does anyone else think?
