Marianne Appel

 * ... that Marianne Appel, a WPA post office muralist, was later a Muppet designer for the The Jim Henson Company?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and expanded over 5x, all non-lead paragraphs have inline citations, copyvio checks reveal no problems (, just a match for a title), hook content cited with inline citation to a reliable source in the article and what appears to be a reliable source, Nominator exempt from QPQ per QPQ check results. I added a link to  WPA in the hook. North America1000 02:31, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * COMMENT OFF THE SUBJECT of DYK: or any other editor who can help, the IMDb identifier calls her Marianne Appel in the article. Since all her film credits were done as Harms, it seems weird that it is using her "artist" name. Is there a way to fix it? SusunW (talk) 16:00, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I haven't researched the subject extensively, so I don't know. When most sources refer to a person using a particular name, then that is the name typically used (see WP:COMMONNAME). Pinging . North America1000 22:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The problem is not what to call the article. Most of the documentation on notability is under Appel. Her professional names were quite separate. We had a heck of a time linking the two names, but it is very clear in her papers that they are one and the same person. The problem is that the IMDb link which is pulling from her ID on that site is overriding the link on the page with the name as Appel. The IMDb database information is correctly in the name of Harms and the link should be pointing as Harms. I am not remotely technical and have no idea how to tell the template not to use the name of the article, but rather the name on the IMDb record. I don't know if I am explaining this well and it has nothing to do with the DYK nomination. Sorry, I should have just pinged you on the page, but since you worked on the template for IMDb, I thought you might know how it worked. SusunW (talk) 22:14, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see what you're getting at now. I believe this edit I performed has addressed your concern. North America1000 22:21, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Perfect! Thank you! SusunW (talk) 22:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
