Talk:Lang's Fairy Books

Renaming the article "The Langs' Fairy Books"
Hello! I'd like to propose renaming the article "The Langs' Fairy Books" to give a more accurate picture of the extent to which Leonora Blanche "Nora" (Alleyne) Lang contributed to the series. Perhaps searches for "Andrew Lang's Fairy Books" could be made to redirect to this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beatrice nest (talk • contribs) 18:49, 3 January 2018 (UTC) Beatrice nest (talk) 18:50, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the great idea! However, do you have documentation of the books being referred to as such? We try to keep the titles of articles, to one of their most commons names (typically what has historically been the dominate common name) see the discussion at the Naming Conventions for Books. That being said,I think the emphasis of the article could go a great way to helping increase the role of his wife in the production of the works: as of right now, its only in passing mention in the introduction/lead. Could you expand the discussion supported by scholars for the importance of the wife first? Sadads (talk) 19:17, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@Sadad -- I've slightly updated the citations in LB Lang's article to reflect the most recent scholarship on the series. I think this could be an opportunity to shift the series' most common name in the direction of something more accurate. Do you think that I should add the material from LBL's article to this one as support? Day, Lathey, and Smol all discuss the series' naming conventions in some detail.
