I would encourage the person who deleted content from the page to discuss first, and bear in mind that NPOV is not obtained by removing POV, but adding POV.

Nothing. It's not initials. My father's name is spelled Elzie. He wasn't much of a father to me so I switched the spelling but kept the phonetics.
