You can't go around using phrases such as "He was the most innovative of the early rocket pioneers." For one this is completely unsubstantiated. Two, this guy was working in the same era as Von Braun, Goddard, Korolev, ect.
Requested move
[edit]- 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: move the page to Stephen Smith (rocket scientist), per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 06:11, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Stephen Hector Taylor-Smith → ? – Stephen H. Smith (rocket scientist) or Stephen Smith (rocket scientist)? These names may be more common; there is American sculptor of similar name. Anyway, neither this book, this journal, nor this newspaper uses the whole current title, unless it describes it as his birth name. Just to let you know, the subject was an Anglo-Indian.

- Support - Either proposed title would be a closer common name than the current one according to reliable sources.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:37, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
