But she certainly does not want the other last name in any combination to appear with her name. That name is used, online, by - among others - VIAF, ISNI, BNF, Nukat, Worldcat, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the award page previously discussed. > I acted accordingly and removed the other last name. As can be seen in Dr Lemaire's papers, she has consistently used the name "Marie-Claude Lemaire" and there is no reason not to respect that request. That is clearly not so. See, for example: http://katalog.nukat.edu.pl/lib/item?id=chamo:3080157&theme=nukat# I'm sympathetic to Dr Lemaire for whatever demons trouble her, but bowdlerising Wikidata and thereby reducing its usefulness will not resolve them. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
