On 8 June 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to Wilhelmina Stirling. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Article name[edit]

The article name should be rather Wilhelmina Stirling and the redirect be made from her writer's alias A. M. W. Stirling. The De Morgan Center which is responsible for her collection and heritage uses the name Wilhelmina. Apart from having published under the name A. M. W. as an author (but not solely under this name!) she is also an individual with a life, which is part of this article. Therefore she should be referred to as a person, not an akronym. --Grizma (talk) 07:50, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
