No precedent for creating redirects for lower case versions of names. There are only 3500 in "redirects for miscapitalizations" and most are more plausible because they are things other than people.

For one, the redirect isn't just for a miscapitalisation, it also has an absent period. At the very least, I think that there should be a redirect for the title without the period. Also, as far as I can tell, redirects for lower case versions of names may not be universal, but they don't seem to be uncommon. A survey of a couple random people seems to suggest to me that this is the case. There doesn't seem to be any issue with having redirects for miscapitalization of other people's names, so I don't really see why there'd be issue with this one.

a. ralph epperson and
A Ralph Epperson might both be useful, since no-capitals titles are often useful (many of us search Google without specifying capital letters, and probably many people use Special:Search that way as well) and it's good to create redirects for absent punctuation, but the chances of both errors occurring simultaneously are a good deal smaller.
