Talk:Bert "Yank" Levy

Rationale for proposed renaming and move

According to the American National Biography article we have misnamed this, as he was born and is Bert, not Albert Levy. Levine, Allan E. "Bert "Yank" Levy". American National Biography on line. Oxford University Press. Retrieved April 16, 2014. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:53, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I certainly would't do this cavalierly. I would note in passing that there are lots of redirects namely:

Bert Levy (redirect page) ‎ (links):

Bert "Yank" Levy (redirect page) ‎ (links):

Yank Levy (redirect page) ‎ (links)

Portal:Nautical/March/24/Selected article (redirect page) ‎ (links):

Quite apart from what was on his birth certificate, I would also note that he used "Bert" in his brochure "Bert "Yank" Levy brochure" (PDF). White Plains, New York: The Redpath Bureau. Retrieved April 16, 2014. and as his nom de plume and nom de guerre for the book. "His real name is Bert." "Yank Levy Demonstrates How to Kill Quickly, Easy". The Milwaukee Journal. November 30, 1943. Retrieved April 16, 2014. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:12, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

And what I could find of his obituary called him "Bert Yank Levy". As did the Life Magazine cover story. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Support as long as you have refs that demonstrate that it's his actual correct name, which it appears you do. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 12:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
