George Croydon Marks or George Marks

8 of the 10 accessible cited references in this article refer to him as George Croydon Marks. The other two refer to him in their house style by initials. None of the cited sources use the shortened form of George Marks. Another editor, with a track record of randomly deleting parts of peoples names has persistently chosen to delete the Croydon bit on pages linked to this article while adding back in an unsourced edit here that he was known as George Marks - he clearly wasn't.

We have the original edit from User:Tryde, which was part of what looks to be a very well informed edit and has remained the stable position for this page for seven years, until you chose to delete it for no obvious reason. We have no reason to believe that his or her edit was not in good faith. We have Hansard. There is this[1] where he is referred to as "Sir George Marks". We have this[2] from Grace's guide - the leading source of historical information on industry and manufacturing in Britain, which contains the same sentence as we should restore to this article, but is otherwise clearly a piece of research separate from WP. His record at TheyWorkForYou is under the same name. There is also this[3] from a family website, referring to him alternately as Sir George or Baron Marks, with no reference to his middle name. There is this extract from the records of the New Zealand Parliament "Hansard"[4] where he is referred to repeatedly as Sir George Marks. All of which is sufficient supporting evidence to restore the stable version of this page. MapReader (talk) 10:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
