The above move was requested by
Mst. He neglected to add the above notice so I did. I do not support the move myself.

Object. Both versions of the name are common, from what I can see. It would be difficult to prove the new version is the official one.

The hyphen was omitted intentionally from the family name by Felix Mendelssohn's father Abraham (against common German spelling). --

More importantly: if he died at a mere 39 years of age, why does his photograph show him with long a long white beard and old age baldness, more consistent with a heptagenerian or octagenerian. Could somebody reflect on this please?

I've been reflecting. The image id identifies him as "Paul Mendelsohn". Note, only 1 "s", and no "Bartholdy". Whoever it was, it wasn't anyone who died at the age of 39, so I took it out. --

First, a
U.S. Patent (included to establish he was a scientist). What strikes me is the number of
gScholar hits he gets as an editor, a fact not mentioned in the article.
This is a different person , Paul Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (with the hyphen). Paul Mendelssohn Bartholdy died 1880.
Paul Mendelssohn Bartholdy (without a hyphen) is the co-founder of Agfa and lived 1841-1880. The hyphen in the book is a typo, quite common in literature (remember how often you read "Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy" although he is written without a hyphen, as well).
