Tamler edit

Is there some reason we include the middle name in the page title instead of at the shorter Frederic Sommers page which redirects here?

Is Tamler the middle name he was born with? I don't see it listed as birth name in the template so I'm not sure.

Considering his wife I'm not sure if maybe he was born Frederic Tamler and gained the surname through marriage or something?

Is he generally referred to in his work as FTS instead of FS?

In the external links used in this article it seems like he's commonly just referred to as Fred Sommers... since it's not in use I think I'll nominate a move unless someone objects. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 01:02, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Year of marriage edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Does anyone know when he married Christina Hoff and she took on his surname to become Christina Hoff Sommers? I am interested in documenting when her name changed in her article but I don't know when this happened. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 01:06, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

I can't seem to find any sources confirming the year in which they were married. Meatsgains (talk) 03:56, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Frederic Tamler Sommers → Fred Sommers – all the external links I see appear to call him this. It looks to be his WP:COMMONNAME and this would be more concise to link to. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 01:07, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Support - Per WP:COMMONNAME Sources not including his middle name are more prominent. Meatsgains (talk) 03:51, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
