My bad lead

[edit]

   Sorry, my omission of the lk threw dust in a colleague's eyes re notability of JPH, and i assume my correction of my own version will obviate consideration of theirs.

[edit]

   As to the entry for JPH's father, the format Gl'f's replaced with may not be used in a Dab, per MoSDab: piping in Dabs is good for showing bold &/or italics that reflect titles of works, but when a whole article is the target, piping may not conceal that page's title.
   Among

  1. John Henry Hammond, Jr. (1910–1987), American producer a.k.a. John H. Hammond
    vs.
  2. John H. Hammond, Jr. (1910–1987), American producer
    or
  3. John H. Hammond (1910–1987), American producer

instead, AFAICan see, guidelines permit any of the 3. I prefer #1 as a means of reducing confusion (e.g., #3 invites confusion about whether he's ever referred to with the "Jr." -- not usually, in fact -- or perhaps got in via a clerical error, and either #2 or #3 subliminally invites the confusing impression that he's yet another John Henry Hays Hammond). If Gl'f's wants #2 or #3 enuf to change it again, i disagree but will leave it to anyone else interested to debate it any further.
