name

I think the name is Allie Vibert Douglas, not Alice Vibert Douglas— Preceding unsigned comment added by Yvan Dutil (talk • contribs) 01:11, 7 December 2006

Hey, seven years later, it's about time someone moved this! Wbm1058 (talk) 14:54, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this Google Ngram, this reference (Vibert Douglas (she usually went by her middle name)) and the confusion over whether her first name is Allie or Alice—I suppose one might guess that the former was a nickname for the latter—I'm moving this article to the common name Vibert Douglas.

Hey, her archives have been recently digitized, including her birth certificate. I'm going to put in a request to change her full name to "Allie Vibert Douglas", as that is what she was most often called and referred to in her letters and by her contemporaries. I haven't seen much evidence aside from that one Queen's encyclopedia source that she dropped her first name. Here is an obituary which calls her both "Allie" and "Dr A. Vibert Douglas".

She did "usually go by her middle name" in the sense that "Douglas" was originally her middle name before she had it changed, which is where the confusion is coming from. Infwood (talk) 15:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Alice Douglas

I believe that the stub page Alice Douglas should be merged into this page, but lack the technical expertise to do it right. Would somebody please make sure that all relevant content from "Alice Douglas" is merged into this page, and "Alice Douglas" replaced with a forwarder?

Done Someone will need to sort out the discrepancies between sources to determine the correct birth date, etc. – wbm1058 (talk) 13:06, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
