Page name edit

Should this page be under his old name (where he did most of his work under) or his new name? Swil999 (talk) 11:30, 26 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ea EaCraige Schensted – His mathematical work was mostly under his former name. Swil999 (talk) 08:07, 29 August 2020 (UTC)Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:03, 5 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think it is a very reasonable suggestion to move the article to the title Craige Schensted: his notability is due to his mathematical work, which was carried out under that name. --JBL (talk) 14:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Birth and death edit

I just stumbled across this page: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/382004/year-of-birth-of-craige-schensted Does this qualify as a reliable source for days of birth and death? --Quazgar (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

No, definitely not. (It's clear-cut WP:UGC.) A published obituary of some sort (or something from a vaguely official source, like a department he was formerly associated with) is needed for this. --JBL (talk) 19:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
