Jack Lewis (phonetician)Jack Windsor Lewis – Jack Windsor Lewis is Welsh and his surname is made of two names ('Windsor' and 'Lewis'). This follows the pattern described in Welsh surnames, and is part of his cultural heritage. The reviewer for this article (KGirlTrucker81 - see Talk page) insists that 'Windsor' is his middle name and must not appear in the title. RoachPeter (talk) 10:02, 22 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per WP:NATURAL if nothing else. And there is much else: the subject refers to himself as "Jack Windsor Lewis" on his home page, as do numerous other authors, as even a casual GBook search demonstrates. He has been also amply cited as Jack Windsor Levis or JW Levis on Scholar search, and it appears on the book he authored. No such user (talk) 14:22, 22 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support also in his paper "The Teaching of English Intonation" in the book linked above, he writes his own name in the bibliography as "Windsor Lewis, J." -- alphabetizing under W, and treating "Windsor Lewis" as the surname. Umimmak (talk) 11:34, 29 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
