I read not too long ago that Ken set a filter for parsing names with initials.

I can't find it.

Can some one point me in the right direction?

There is a contribution up for a vote changing a common name. Prison Break: Season 2  episode 4 upc 024543458340

The change is J./B./Blanc to JB/Blanc

This does not seem correct. Your thoughts.

It's here.

Despite the filter, that can actually be correct, and in this case, it indeed seems to be. It all depends on what the common name is. As far as the filter is concerned, "J.B." or "J. B." are initials, but "JB" (no periods) is just a regular first name. So if "JB Blanc" is the common name, and the CLT numbers seem to confirm that, then JB//Blanc it is.
