Namesake historian[edit]

I added a hatnote distinguishing this composer Elliot Willensky (1943–2010) from the architectural historian Elliot Willensky (1934–1990) who co-authored the AIA Guide to New York City, referenced in hundreds of Wikipedia articles via Template:Cite AIA4 and Template:Cite aia5. If anyone is inclined to create an article for what's currently the red-link Elliot Willensky (architectural historian), there's a decent obituary at https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/27/obituaries/elliot-willensky-writer-of-guide-to-new-york-buildings-dies-at-56.html , summarizing his career as an architect, author, vice-chair of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, and official Borough Historian of Brooklyn. —173.68.139.31 (talk) 03:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
