Adelaide Manning → Elizabeth Adelaide Manning – "Elizabeth", I believe, is also commonly used and should be reinserted. George Ho (talk) 07:32, 21 August 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 07:48, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Tricky one, both uses on simple searches threw up about the same number of 'hits' (with many other 'Mannings'). E. Adelaide Manning also seemed common. I've taken the liberty of adding an AfD type searches above to help.Pincrete (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Either leave it as it is or rename → E. Elizabeth Manning E. Adelaide Manning (like L. Frank Baum, etc.), which is widespread on Google Books in reference to her. It seems clear she went by "Adelaide". — the Man in Question (in question)  23:41, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You mean "E. Adelaide Manning", the Man in Question? George Ho (talk) 03:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oy, yes. Whoops. Sorry about that. — the Man in Question (in question)  03:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The DNB clearly says she was known as Adelaide Manning. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:05, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Legacy - comment
Legacy in respect of writers, thinkers etc usually refers to 'lasting influence'. The section at the moment is mainly about 'legacies' ie bequethals.Pincrete (talk) 13:49, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
