Naming conventions

Sources refer to him as G. K. Saunders. His full name was George Kenneth Saunders. These are the relevant facts. What he was referred to by those he was most known by is not an encyclopedic item of knowledge that we do not need to include.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:52, 26 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

He was never referred to as "George", but if not as "G. K. Saunders" (which was usual), he was referred to as "Ken Saunders".^[1] He is listed as "Saunders, Ken" in the index of Rob Johnson's The Golden Age of The Argonauts, and is called "Ken" on pp. 34, 45, and 180 and "G. K." elsewhere. This is relevant IMO, but the discussion was originally whether naming him George Kenneth "Ken" Saunders contravened MOS:NICK "The manual of style says do not put extremely common nicknames from given names in quotes, the example is do not put "Bill" when the person is named William, so do not put "Ken" when the person in named Kenneth" Doug butler (talk) 04:15, 26 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
