William Nicholas Hitchon → Nick Hitchon – Clear WP:COMMONNAME. Major academic publication from 2019 uses Nick Hitchon (), and obituaries consistently use this name also (, , ). This is a contested technical request (permalink). U-Mos (talk) 22:34, 26 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support per nomination. Subject's pen name was the currently redlinked "W. N. G. Hitchon", but he was indeed most frequently referenced as Nick Hitchon. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:32, 27 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
