Hatnote

@Fouquiher: I noticed you removed the hatnote:

then added here the alternative name "Cornelis Vermeulen". If this is indeed a valid alternative name (Benezit does not mention it in the entry "Meulen, Cornelis van der"), shouldn't we keep the hatnote? Are you certain Cornelis Vermeulen is a valid alternative name or could it just be due to confusion with Cornelis Vermeulen? The confusion may have been propagated by Benezit's entry for the latter "Vermeulen, Cornelis Martinus or Van der Meulen". Getty Research also adds to the confusion: ULAN 500122585 "Vermeulen, Cornelis (Flemish engraver, ca. 1644-ca. 1708)" and ULAN 500009538 "Vermeulen, Cornelis (Dutch painter, 1642-1692)". If "Cornelis Vermeulen" is really a name that he used, then perhaps we should convert Cornelis Vermeulen to a disambiguation page, rename the article on the engraver to Cornelis Vermeulen (engraver) and create a redirect to this article with the name Cornelis Vermeulen (painter). --Robert.Allen (talk) 18:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see now that "Vermeulen" is a common contraction of "Van der Meulen". Perhaps "Cornelis van der Meulen" should also be a disambiguation page. There doesn't seem to be a clear primary topic for either name. --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:19, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
