Mel Edwards → Melvin Edwards – Switch to the full name of the subject of the article. Edwards is rarely referred to by "Mel" in publications. He is referred to as "Melvin" in The New York Times as far back as 1993 1, 2, 3, 4; Artforum as far back as 1965 1, 2, 3, 4; The Boston Globe; The Dallas Morning News; Hyperallergic; a range of other art publications/news outlets; and all of the subject's monographic books (1993 Neuberger Museum of Art; 2015 Nasher Sculpture Center; and 2018 Sao Paulo Museum of Art). 19h00s (talk) 17:09, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. At the bottom of the article there are 66 inline cites, followed by six bulleted entries under "Cited references", seventeen under "Further reading" and five under "External links", including a personal website. Other than a couple of "Mel" entries, all the remaining sources depict the name as "Melvin". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:33, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
