Sommerfelt or Sommerfeldt?

[edit]

The article spells it both ways. The sources also spell it both ways, but our MOS:FOREIGN guideline says "Spell a name consistently in the title and the text of an article." Art LaPella (talk) 04:36, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article needs to spell it both ways at some point, since it notes that he changed the spelling from Sommerfeldt to Sommerfelt. I hadn't noticed earlier, but it does need to do a better job about specifying the birth spelling (maybe giving both in the intro?), and being consistent with the spelling of relatives who didn't change their version of the name.
