Talk:P. B. G. Binnall

Notability
I have copied the review comment from the front page (as I don't know how to reply there!) and added my reply below: "One of the major claims for notability seems to be that "Many of his photographs are held in the Conway Library at the Courtauld Institute of Art". One source is given for this. Clicking on the source reveals that "Rev PBG Binnall" (presumably this person, but one can't be sure) is one of a vast number of people whose photographs are in the Conway Library. There's nothing about "many": for all the reader knows, there might just be one. That matter aside, Binnall seems to be mentioned here and there, but nothing more. (If anyone believes that an article could be written about him, then a good place to start would be: What notice has been taken of his publications? What commentary has there been on his writings or opinions by later writers -- in for example the Buildings of England volume on Lincolnshire?) Hoary (talk)"
 * Thank you for reviewing! I have removed the "many" photographs, and left the link to the Courtauld. I have also added reference to the Buildings of England volume on Lincolnshire, thank you for the suggestion! And made additional reference to archives which hold his photographs. Finally, as an academic of sorts, I would hope that Binnall passes WP:ACADEMIC as he was elected fellow of the Royal Society of Antiquaries, which to my mind meets Criteria 3, although happy to be corrected here.

, the article says that (A) "his final position was Sub-Deacon of Lincoln" and (B) he "held the positions of [...] Sub-Dean of Lincoln". Sub-deacon or sub-dean? -- Hoary (talk) 13:41, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for flagging - fixed the inconsistency! KerstingFan (talk) 13:57, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Article title
"Peter Blannin Gibbons Binnall" is quite a mouthful. I suspect that it was used less often than one or other among "P. B. G. Binnall", "Peter B. G. Binnall" and "Peter Binnall". However, one can't depend on mere guesswork. , just how do others (e.g. Pevsner) refer to him? -- Hoary (talk) 22:48, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , a good point! In Pevsner he is Peter Binnall, and in his publications he's P. B. G. Binnall. What would you suggest is best? I'm not attached to any particular version. KerstingFan (talk) 08:53, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'd suggest "P. B. G. Binnall", with redirects from "Peter Binnall" and of course "Peter Blannin Gibbons Binnall". (To illustrate a redirect by example: "Georg Friederich Händel".) Easy to do, and I'd be happy to do it, if you approve. -- Hoary (talk) 09:02, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That sounds great - and thank you so much for doing it! I really appreciate all your help with this one. KerstingFan (talk) 09:03, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
