Maurice, 6th duc de Broglie →
Maurice de Broglie – Subject was notable as a physicist rather than as an aristocrat. Google Books search gives 90,000 hits for
"Maurice de Broglie". There are a respectable 48,000 hits for
Maurice "duc de Broglie", but scanning through the results it looks like most hits have the first name and the title occuring far apart. He also seems to have published under the proposed name, e.g.
here. Finally, the article about his equally ducal physicist brother is at
Louis de Broglie.

At present, the article infobox displays an image which, in my opinion, doesn't show Maurice de Broglie but his brother, Louis. It is, in fact, currently categorized in commons:category:Louis de Broglie, and comparing it to the other images in that category versus those in commons:category:Maurice de Broglie makes the conclusion fairly straightforward. The source for the current image does give the name of the person as "Louis-César-Victor-Maurice de Broglie", Maurice's full name, rather than Louis' "Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond", but the handwritten note visible at the bottom of the actual image contains the words "Louis Victor Herzog v. Broglie" and "Nobelpreis 1929", which fit Louis.
I therefore propose that we replace the current image with either the detail from the 1921 Solvay Conference group shot (used in the French Wikipedia article) or the 1932 drawing by Marcel Baschet. Though we generally prefer photos to works of art in articles about persons, this one is rather blurred, so I lean towards using the drawing. Favonian ( talk) 16:20, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
