Owen Lovejoy (anthropologist) → C. Owen Lovejoy – As best I can tell, this professor is practically always referred to as "C. Owen Lovejoy". All of the cited sources refer to him that way, and this is the name he uses for all of his publications. The renaming would also have the benefit of providing WP:NATURAL disambiguation from the 19th-century abolitionist congressman. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:49, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NATURAL – a win-win. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 13:03, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
