William R. Wilcox → William Russell Willcox – Per his passport application with two "L". This is how he spells it Relisted Armbrust The Homunculus 16:09, 18 January 2014 (UTC) Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:44, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. Whatever his passport says would be his official name, not necessarily a common name used by a prevalence of reliable sources per the article titles policy. So that should be irrelevant. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:53, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't think we standardize on misspellings and typos, even if they numerically surpass the correct spelling. All it takes is for the Associated Press to send a misspelling and have it picked up by other news outlets. Just like we wouldn't standardize on an incorrect age in the infobox and age calculator, for a movie star, because most sources quote that younger publicity age. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 05:20, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- Support – I don't see why there's any question. What sources do differently? The cited sources all appear to have the double L, as does his photo. Dicklyon (talk) 18:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
