Move to Emil Fischer (Chemist)

the lemma is confusing - this Emil Fischer is widely and only known as "Emil Fischer", not Hermann Emil Fischer. look at the statue in Berlin:

He is named Emil Fischer - everythink else is nonsense. should be moved to Emil Fischer (Chemist) or similar. --Plehn (talk) 23:03, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The article says he was never called Hermann and was always known as Emil Fischer, so following Wikipedia:Article titles the article should be called Emil Fischer (chemist) (lower case "c"). It isn't right to call the article Hermann etc just for disambiguation purposes. Richard75 (talk) 17:39, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death

The cause of death is confusing. He is listed as having committed suicide, but the Bancroft Library (where his papers are stored), as well as the Nobel Website list the cause of death as cancer. Is there any way to reconcile this? Amcharles1 (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2014 (UTC)Amcharles1[reply]

Copyright

The 'Personal life' section is a direct copy of the end of the biography of Hermann Emil Fischer as published in Les Prix Nobel (also available on "https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1902/fischer-bio.html"). To be specific, the section that I noticed plagiarised was written at the end of the biography available through the link above.

My apologies, I checked this out, and it appears that the copyright issues actually start at the section "Academic Career". The plagiarism is word-for-word for the rest of the article.

Requested move 15 July 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved this page to Emil Fischer. Dab page moved to Emil Fischer (disambiguation). Emil Fischer (chemist) redirected to dab page. Anarchyte (work | talk) 09:35, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hermann Emil Fischer → Emil Fischer (chemist) – He was never known as Hermann, and article titles should reflect what the person was usually called. We can't use Hermann in the title to disambiguate him from other Emil Fischers. Richard75 (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be better to use Emil Fischer as article name? His article is marked as vital and he is a Nobel Prize winner. ZeR0101MiNt (talk) 19:58, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would work too. Richard75 (talk) 21:37, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this Emil Fischer has also much more pageviews than the other Emil Fischer's. Grimes2 (talk) 12:39, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Emil Fischer (i.e. the base title), and move Emil Fischer to Emil Fischer (disambiguation), as per discussion above – the more famous chemist looks to get about 6x (sometimes more) the page views of the other three according to Pageviews Analysis. Also, Emil Fischer (chemist) will need to point back to the disambiguation page, as there are two chemists that are attached to this name... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:03, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
