This is an unneeded disambiguation per WP:COMMONNAME as none of these people went by that name. Tavix (talk) 04:30, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Comment, I checked Amazon and GL Banks is the name she published The Manchester Man under. Boleyn (talk) 06:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep but move to G. L. Banks. Isabella Banks mostly published under her husband's name "Mrs G. Linnaeus Banks" but is also known as "G. L. Banks" (see here for example) and her husband, George Linnaeus Banks, was also known as "G. L. Banks" (see here for example).  Baileypalblue (talk) 06:44, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Linnaeus Banks, where there's already a hatnote (which can be reworded slightly if necessary) directing readers to his wife's page. We don't normally have disambiguation pages with only two entries; hatnotes are used instead. Deor (talk) 16:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and create Deor's redirect. Spinach Monster (talk) 18:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Linnaeus Banks as it is clear that the name applied only to him, not his wife. It was a very common practice for the media of the 19th Century to refer to people by their first (or first two) initials and their last name. Banks also published under the name of G. L. Banks. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 20:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. There's no need to delete and then create a new redirect when there are no BLP issues involved here. B.Wind (talk) 20:35, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
