Talk:Jackie Lewis

Move proposal
It's not clear why this page is at 'Jackie Lewis'. Not yet found a source which uses that name.


 * Small, GP Who's Who, 1994, p. 229 has him as Jack as does the 2000 edition p. 346.
 * Motor Sport magazine article
 * Motor Sport mag database
 * Results of a Google search

Even the sole link in the article (at time of posting) refers to him as Jack not Jackie.

Propose move to Jack Lewis (racing driver) as 'commonname': Eagleash (talk) 18:58, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * FORIX (subscription site, so I can't post a direct link), also refers to him as "Jack". However, formula1.com, Racing Reference and Driver Database call him "Jackie"... DH85868993 (talk) 00:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Marlboro Grand Prix Guide 1950–82 (1983) p.442 also calls him "Jack"
 * Contemporary reports in Motor Sport mag. seem to call him Jack as well...but I haven't checked them all as I've used up my article 'allowance' for the time being.
 * I'm not sure it's worth changing after all? Perhaps a redirect – Jack Lewis (British racing driver), to avoid confusion with an American of the same name? ...And an 'AKA' in the 'Jackie' page? Eagleash (talk) 00:53, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Since Motor Sport, Small, FORIX and Mike Lang's Grand Prix! all refer to him as "Jack", I would not object to the article being moved to Jack Lewis (racing driver), per the original proposal. But if we decide to go with the redirect option, I think just "(racing driver)" would be a sufficient disambiguator until the American driver gets an article.
