The next time you plan on moving this page, here are some things to bear in mind:
# New Grove (usually a highly reputable source) have Goossens’ name as Sir (Aynsley) Eugene Goossens — i.e. AEG, not EAG as per the page title. If so, the current page title is '''factually wrong'''.
# [http://viaf.org/ VIAF] cites various national libraries’ authority records for Goossens’ canonical name, and there are three main variants:
## Goossens, Eugene — Library of Congress (LOC), BNF, BNE, etc.
## Goossens, Eugène — DNB, RERO
## Goossens, Eugene, Sir — NLA, LAC
#: Some of these authority records also cite Goossens, Aynsley Eugene among their secondary records (again initials AEG, not EAG).
# Holographs of Goossens’ musical works can be found where he signs himself both “Eugene Goossens” '''and''' “Eugène Goossens”.
As I’m usually not around for such discussions as the one recently conducted in August (because, frankly, the rules-lawyering here would drive me far beyond the mediocre limits of my patience) I can see little reason except inertia for keeping the current (AEG) page title: it really should be simply Eugene Goossens, which is how the world knows him at large (and the grave accent seems to be omitted more often, but the man himself obviously wasn’t fussed by either its omission or its addition).
