@85.238.91.38: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:23, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No evidence given that "W. Kaye Lamb" is the common name, it's not used in the running text (it is the name of the W. Kaye Lamb Award, in references). 85.238.91.38 (talk) 08:23, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As for evidence that it is the common name, see, e.g., the Google Books ngram (1904–2019 and 1980–2019).

As to why it isn't mentioned in running text in the article, MOS:FULLNAME prescribes that the article begin with the subject's full name, MOS:SURNAME prescribes that the subject's surname be used subsequently, and MOS:INITIALS states that even if the form with initials is the subject's common name and the title of the article, it is not necessary to explicitly use the initials in the lead. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 19:07, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:INITIALS applies when the article title and full name differ, which is not currently the case here. But given the evidence provided, assuming that there is no Wanda Kaye Lamb inflating the figures, I'm happy to Support this. 85.238.91.38 (talk) 03:07, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
