This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Also, after reviewing the common name page you sent, that is not in reference to the correct spelling of names - it is going with a person's commonly known stage-name. Ie. Norma Jean Mortenson versus Marilyn Monroe - it would be correct to go with her stage name. I agree with you and Wikipedia that much. I'm not insisting that we go by her first name of Rose. It's Adele versus Adèle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.159.16 (talk) 16:46, November 18, 2015
Here are two more links from the University of Chicago. One is a signed letter, the other is a dinner invitation - both using Adèle. Maybe she didn't know her own name - which makes sense for someone who was upper class and received the absolute best education at the time. :-| Kind of funny to have any doubts about her name when the source is her own personal documents... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.159.16 (talk) 17:00, November 18, 2015

Should just be part of a background or ancestry section, having the ancestry article is unnecessary. βӪᑸᙥӴ • Talk • Contribs 19:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Wholeheartedly agree, this ancestry article is way too short & irrelevant not to be part of "Stephen A. Douglas." TheConflux (talk) 21:06, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support. It is concise enough that the entirety of that article would work as a section of the main article on Douglas. SecretName101 (talk) 22:02, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Strong support. It is simply a short bit of material with little room for future expansion and of the sort usually included in a main article. -A-M-B-1996- (talk) 17:23, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
