No people named "cummings" for disambiguation page?

[edit]

Obviously in the context of this article I was looking for Edward Estlin, but I'm pretty sure it isn't that rare a name that there are no people to disambiguate amongst? Obviously I managed to find the article, but I really wasn't sure how to search for someone who is mostly famous for going by his initials in lower case.

My bad! Just answered my own question (so I'll share the answer here). I looked again and discovered a surnames link at the bottom of the disambiguation page, which leads to a large list of such people. However, I think it would be better if that personal disambiguation page also included an entry for Edward Estlin, just in case.

Not sure if it's worth clarifying the context that brought me here, but I found a reference to another author who used lower case for her pen name. That article claimed it was common, but this was the only other example I could think of. At this point I'm basically stumped as far as Wikipedia goes, though I'm pretty sure I can figure out a websearch that will find other examples...

My bad squared! The (more powerful) websearch led me back to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_lower_case_names_and_pseudonyms Shanen (talk) 00:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Thrakkx: Perhaps, it is worth keeping the lowercase "e. e. cummings" spelling in the infobox. This is how cummings signed his works, and the spelling many researchers use nowadays. Викидим (talk) 02:55, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The majority of cummings' work depends on typological "play" therefore the word "some" is preferable to "many" as it is more accurate to the poet's actual body of work's reality. HashemK101 (talk) 13:48, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
