Common name

[edit]

This person may well have "used his name in full to distinguish himself from his uncle". And for scientist, it's common that they use their full name when they publish something. But what determines a common name is "the name that is most commonly used". And when I look at sources, this person is much more likely to referred to as George Mackaness than by his full name. Whether this page is the Wikipedia:PRIMARYTOPIC is something that will be a bit easier to determine in a few months' time as currently, page views might be skewed by the recent death. His uncle has very low page views, so the scientist may well be the primary topic and for the time being, I've moved the page accordingly. Schwede66 19:27, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
