 :Since 2007, persons surnamed "Rutherford" have been listed at the separate article Rutherford (surname). So began a period in which editors wishing to highlight the name Ernest Rutherford continued to add it here at this article (see ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ., and .). In 2011, editors took to leaving the name Ernest Rutherford in a hidden comment, so that future editors would see that it had not been forgotten, but then editors highlighting Ernest Rutherford began removing the "comment" wiki notation (un-hiding the name; see here, here, and here). I've again restored the hiding wiki notation (here), but I'd like ideas for resolving this matter. Personally, I suspect merger is the way to go.  17:52, 6 February 2012
