Talk:Jeremy Butterfield

Jeremy Butterfields?
I gather, from the list of works, that this is not the editor of the current (4th) edition of A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, despite his reported interest in language.

Surely the latter is notable to have his own entry? How about a disambiguation page, at least?

 * Have to have multiple articles before we use disambiguation. I, too, was thinking of  Jeremy Butterfield, but "is an editor of a book" doesn't equate to notable. His notability will have to be established by finding non-trivial coverage of him in multiple, independent, reliable sources.  That is probably doable; just a question of who will devote the time to do it?  And that's presuming  Jeremy Butterfield isn't a polymath and isn't the new editor of Fowler's after all.  (Cf. Bryan A. Garner, author of Garner's Modern English Usage and The Chicago Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation, but also a lawyer and best known in that profession for The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style, as an editor of Black's Law Dictionary, and as a law review essayist on plain language in legal writing. The law and English aren't as far separated as physics and English, but people still might suspect two Bryan Garners.)  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:18, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
