[edit] Contradiction
Is this guy's name Morrison or Murdoch? The name used in the article should match the name used for the title. PC78 21:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I would object strenuously to the "Afferbeck Lauder" preference to Alistair Morrison's bio. "Afferbeck" is a pseudonym. He was a significant graphic artist and abstract painter whose visual work has been concealed/overshadowed by the "Strine" tag. His papers are in the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney where his graphics/typography can be studied in depth. To use "Afferbeck Lauder" is to divorce him from his visual arts career, which in the long term, may prove to be more important long after "Strine" is forgotten. ::::

[edit] Suggested merge with Afferbeck Lauder
I'm not sure why this merge was undone in the first place. So far as I can tell from reading the articles, these two people are synonymous. If that is not the case, then that needs to made clear. PC78 21:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

- Because Morrison wrote and published his little entertainments entirely anonymously whereas other authors who write under a pen name are often widely know to do so. Albatross2147 00:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't see how that is a reason to split the articles. As they are one and the same person, there should only be one article. However, the article should be titled Afferbeck Lauder, as that is the name that is notable. (Similar to Henry Handel Richardson, for example). baby_ifritah 12:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
