Name

Is the period at the end of his surname supposed to be there? — ˈzɪzɨvə (talk) 20:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes, it indicates that it's an abbreviation. Vincent Steenberg (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is very odd and looks unencyclopedic. The one reference cited doesn't carry the stop, and neither does the entry at the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum. If it's an abbreviation, what is it an abbreviation for? Itsmejudith (talk) 14:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am not Dutch, but I have seen this with other artists from this time as an abbreviation of Jacobszoon - and that this appears to be a common shortening of the name. Keithh (talk) 14:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A quick search of google books and google scholar does show the stop used more often than not. Most of the citations are in Dutch. J04n(talk page) 06:38, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Surely, the article should be at the full, unabbreviated name of the person and this should be a redirect? We don't abbreviate names unless there is a good reason. — Hellknowz ▎talk 15:07, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Junior might not be a name, but it is also abbreviated to Jr. It's common practice to abbreviate patronyms (since that is what we are talking about here. Jacobsz. was not his surname) in Dutch. Even the Getty research centre uses Dirck Jacobsz. as preferred name for this artist (see here). Vincent Steenberg (talk) 18:41, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cornelis Engebrechtsz. is another article using this notation, and that one uses it throughout the text, so I will follow that here. – Fayenatic London 16:12, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
