Requested move 21 February 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested. Dekimasuよ! 07:55, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lila Bell Wallace → Lila Acheson Wallace – Wallace seems to be better known, at least by posterity, as Lila Acheson Wallace than as Lila Bell Wallace. I'm basing this on the fact that I was looking for Lila Acheson Wallace, which in turn was based on how everything named for her references her maiden name rather than her given middle name: the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art;^[1] the Lila Acheson Wallace Library^[2] and the Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Program^[3] at The Juillard School; the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives at the American Museum of Natural History;^[4] the Lila Acheson Wallace Auditorium at the Asia Society;^[5] etc. In contrast, the use of the appellation Lila Bell Wallace appears to be limited overwhelmingly in Google search results to sentences that mention her in the same breath as her husband, DeWitt Wallace. (Check out the Google search "lila bell wallace" -dewitt, excluding matches containing the word "dewitt", and compare it to the search for "lila acheson wallace" -dewitt.) WP:COMMONNAME, then, would appear to warrant the move. Largoplazo (talk) 02:58, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Google Ngrams doesn't even have any references to Lila Bell Wallace. See https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Lila+Acheson+Wallace%2CLila+Bell+Wallace&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2CLila%20Acheson%20Wallace%3B%2Cc0. Largoplazo (talk) 03:15, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has 14 articles (including this one) containing "Lila Bell Wallace", and over 40 containing "Lila Acheson Wallace". Granted, most of the latter are in the context of one or another thing named after her. Largoplazo (talk) 03:18, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, if someone were to write articles about the various programs and structures named after her, it would be weird to say that the Lila Acheson Wallace XYZ was named for Lila Bell Wallace instead of attributing it to Lila Acheson Wallace.
