Name? Surname?

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The five sources use different names:

https://www.parliament.gh/mps?mp=17 : HON. BETTY KROSBI NANA EFUA MENSAH
http://www.ghanamps.com/mps/details.php?id=5551 : Mensah, Betty Nana Efua Krosby
https://www.newsghana.com.gh/ndc-parliamentary-candidate-makes-women-her-prime-target/ : Ms Betty Crosby-Mensah
https://omgvoice.com/lifestyle/gh-female-mps/ : Betty Crosby Mensah
https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/regional/Youth-resist-attempts-to-relocate-ferry-at-Afram-Plains-604542 : Ms Betty Crosby-Mensah

So as well as variant spelling of Crosby / Krosby / Krosbi there are questions of

Is her surname "Mensah" or "Crosby-Mensah"? Important as it's how we should be referring to her in the article, and how it will sort A-Z.
Which is her common name? From sources 3-5 it looks as if it's the three-name version, though with or without hyphen?
And we need to provide redirects from all the variations used in those sources, and perhaps more: the sources differ as to the order of her names.

OK, I've added the long form of her name as used on the parliament.gh site which is presumably reliable, and changed her name in the article to Mensah, and provided redirects from a handful of variations. PamD 09:31, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
