[edit] Proposed merge

I agree that the pages need merging - I didn't even know the S. P. B. Mais page existed, despite searching when I created this page a month later; it just shows how difficult it is to search for this name. My understanding of the Wiki guidlines is that biographical articles normally use the familiar given name plus the surname, which is why I used this name for the article and created a redirect for SPB Mais (i.e. no punctation). I also see that this is the page with the most direct links to it, so I feel that we should keep this Petre Mais page as that best matches the format of other biography pages.

As I understand it, though, "Petre" was only ever used to address him by close family members, and publicly he was known as SPB or indeed SPB Mais.
