Moving page to Paul Irwin Forster
[edit]I am proposing to move this page to one that uses his full name with both given names. My reasons are:
- For consistency with IPNI
- He is listed there as Forster, Paul Irwin
- His standard author abbreviation (P.I.Forster) uses both initials.
- For consistency within this project
- his article at Wikispecies is Paul Irwin Forster
- The WP category containing the taxa named by him is Category:Taxa named by Paul Irwin Forster
- For consistency elsewhere
- His papers are consistently credited to "Paul I. Forster" (I wont quote them all here, but here's one list you can check)
- His biography at the Australian National Botanic Gardens website is titled Forster, Paul Irwin
- Finally, for clarity. A biographical article titled with one (as opposed to two) given name plus a surname has a much higher probability of needing a disambiguation page at some point in the future
I'm aware that the Wikidata item associated with him does not use the second given name. That needs to change as well. Junglenut |Talk 11:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
