Talk:C. L. Sulzberger

Article title
Under Wikipedia conventions, shouldn't it be C.L. Sulzberger, the name he wrote under? His full name is the answer to a trivia question. Nareek (talk) 14:58, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Cyrus Leo Sulzberger II → C. L. Sulzberger – I am reading the book How We Got Here: The '70s, The Decade That Brought You Modern Life - For Better or Worse by David Frum. He writes on p. 317 about "a March 1971 interview with the columnist C. L. Sulzberger" by then-President Richard Nixon. I type Sulzberger's name in Wikipedia - and lo and behold I'm redirected to an article with his full name, which got moved in March 2010 without explanation from the original "C. L. Sulzberger" title.

The article should be moved back to its original title per WP:COMMONNAME. "C. L. Sulzberger" returns over 33,000 google search results, versus just 7,000+ for "Cyrus Leo Sulzberger" (including the II brings the total down to the hundreds). The New York Times obituary of him is titled: "C. L. Sulzberger, Columnist, Dies at 80," an indication "C. L." was his preferred, most common name. Additionally, most if not all of his books use his initials. For instance, American Heritage New History of World War II (1997) has "C.L. Sulzberger" on the cover.
