Proposed merge
editI agree that the pages need merging - I didn't even know the S. P. B. Mais page existed, despite searching when I created this page a month later; it just shows how difficult it is to search for this name. My understanding of the Wiki guidlines is that biographical articles normally use the familiar given name plus the surname, which is why I used this name for the article and created a redirect for SPB Mais (i.e. no punctation). I also see that this is the page with the most direct links to it, so I feel that we should keep this Petre Mais page as that best matches the format of other biography pages.

As I understand it, though, "Petre" was only ever used to address him by close family members, and publicly he was known as SPB or indeed SPB Mais.
Agreed that 'S. P. B. Mais/ SPB Mais' (or whatever formulation is chosen) best reflects how he is referred to in virtually every published source, so this article should be moved accordingly. 'Petre Mais' only brings up this article and results showing it as part of his full name; it was not how he wrote, and thus is not how he was best known. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.112.76 (talk) 00:22, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
