On Strict Implication
At 1.2.1 it's said "Lewis's strict implication is now a historical curiosity...". That is just false. --Dante Cardoso Pinto de Almeida (talk) 20:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Clarence Irving Lewis → C. I. Lewis – Per WP:COMMONNAME. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 00:30, 29 April 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 11:51, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 00:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment: This should have a discussion. While Britannica writes him as 'C. I. Lewis' he is in both Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy as Clarence Irving Lewis. EdJohnston (talk) 00:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Given that both the encyclopedias you cited have a policy of uniformly spelling out initials in the titles of biographies, what bearing would they have on determining common usage? (We can see this, for example, in the SEP biography of G. E. Moore, which uses the subject's full name in the title while also explicitly acknowledging that he was never called by his full name.) 142.160.89.97 (talk) 01:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * From WP:Naming conventions (people): "If reliable sources write out several or all of a subject's given names nearly as often as they use initials, prefer the version with the names written in full. Example: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and not C. P. E. Bach, although the latter has more Google hits." Full name preferred. — Rgdboer (talk) 02:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, reliable sources do not, in prose, use the name in full nearly as often as they use initials. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 02:38, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Strong support per this Ngram; references by initials far outweigh the spelled-out name. bd2412  T 22:15, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
