Change of name of article to William Baillie

edit

I'm sure he was known as W D H Baillie but the prevailing orthodoxy in Wikipedia New Zealand is that this file be renamed William Baillie. Silly, but there it is. Eddaido (talk) 08:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

You need to put forward a formal move request. A comment on the talk page of a reasonably obscure person is not sufficient to generate meaningful input from others. Schwede66 15:48, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Not interested in meaningful input from others, I just think its silly to claim it should be William on the grounds that is how people might think of him today. There is mention of his being known as Captain. I very very much doubt that. I understand he was a Colonel. Pick up the links to see the difference.
