As far as I can make out, his legal name was "Baden Powell" (i.e. his first name was "Baden" and his surname was "Powell"). Was "Harry" a nickname, was he generally known by it, and if so was he called "Harry Powell", "Harry Baden Powell" or "Harry Baden-Powell"? Proteus (Talk) 22:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- He appears as "POWELL, Rev. Prof. Baden" in The Powell Pedigree, From recollection he is called Harry Baden Powell in Adrian Desmond and James Moore's Darwin, but it's a book I borrowed out of the library so not to hand. ..dave souza, talk 23:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I'd prefer a disambiguation with words instead of dates. Baden Powell (mathematician), perhaps. Or we could just move it to Baden Powell and put a disambig notice at the top pointing to Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell. Proteus (Talk) 08:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Baden Powell (mathematician) is maybe better. I'm not very used to the English Wikipedia, so don't know he standard disambiguation. Moving to Baden Powell has the disadvantage that allmost everyone who types "Baden Powell" is looking for the son not the father --Egel 13:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Moved to Baden Powell (mathematician). —Nightstallion (?) 10:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
