Gwilym Emyr Owen III → Gwil Owen – Doing searches for "Gwil Owen" turns up only the songwriter. All of his social media credits him as "Gwil", and most music databases such as AllMusic also use "Gwil". All of the sources in the article also use "Gwil". Conversely, I could not find any references that used "Gwil" when referring to G. E. L. Owen. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- I find plenty of references to the philosopher as "Gwil" [1] [2] [3]. But certainly Gwilym Emyr Owen III (not his common name) should move to Gwil Owen (and just add a hatnote) or one of Gwil Owen (musician)/Gwil Owen (singer)/Gwil Owen (songwriter). There's also the question of the redirect Gwilym Owen (make that the dab?). Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- "G.E.L." still seems to be the more common name for the philospher. Almost all hits I get for "Gwil Owen" are for the singer, and almost all hits I get for the philosopher use G.E.L. If there is any confusion, the hat notes should suffice. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:42, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
