Talk:Eugene Aynsley Goossens

message: Le dictionnaire de la Musique de Marc Honegger (Bordas, 1986) met un accent grave à son prénom, peut-être un choix de son père né en France ?

replies: text: Merci.  If I understand your French, that says: "Marc Honegger's Dictionnaire de la Musique (Bordas, 1986) renders his first name with an accent grave, perhaps the choice of his father, who was born in France".   I'd be surprised if the grave wasn't there in a French-language work; but we're talking about English-language works.  I think WP's article is the only English-language place I've ever seen Goossen's name written with a grave.  --  JackofOz (talk) 08:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  accent grave 

message: The next time you plan on moving this page, here are some things to bear in mind:
# New Grove (usually a highly reputable source) have Goossens’ name as Sir (Aynsley) Eugene Goossens — i.e. initials AEG, not EAG as per the page title. If so, the current page title is factually wrong.
# VIAF cites various national libraries’ authority records for Goossens’ canonical name, and there are three main variants:
## Goossens, Eugene — Library of Congress (LOC), BNF, BNE, etc.
## Goossens, Eugène — DNB, RERO
## Goossens, Eugene, Sir — NLA, LAC
#: Some of these authority records also cite Goossens, Aynsley Eugene among their secondary records (again the man’s initials would have been AEG, not EAG).
# Holographs of Goossens’ musical works can be found where he signs himself both “Eugene Goossens” and “Eugène Goossens”.
As I’m usually not around for such discussions as the one recently conducted in August (because, frankly, the rules-lawyering here would drive me far beyond the mediocre limits of my patience) I can see little reason except inertia for keeping the current (EAG) page title: it really should be simply Eugene Goossens, which is how the world knows him at large (and the grave accent seems to be omitted more often, but the man himself obviously wasn’t fussed by either its omission or its addition).
