CommentWP:NC-BASE says that the important factor is what the player was called most commonly during his career. It suggests looking at the name on a player's baseball cards. Cards of this era generally only list the player's last name, at least on the front, which is the portion of the card accessible via Google Images. The cards I'm finding with either Elton or Ice Box on the front are "art cards" produced decades after his career. I do note that his entries from three common
WP:BASEBALL sources - his
SABR BioProject biography,
Retrosheet entry and
Baseball Reference page - are all titled Ice Box.

I checked the sources by using Archive; only ones on 2009 and thereafter are recorded. They must have used Wikipedia as the source. Probably so did other sources beginning 2006 (at the time of the article's creation).

Keep per the baseball sources, and with Elton Chamberlain re-directing here, all seems to operating as it should.Neonblaktalk - 01:42, 5 December 2013 (UTC)reply
Oppose per Neonblak. I don't see why this isn't a valid

I did some small copyedits as this is a brilliantly written article. No close paraphrasing concerns, all the sourcing is considered reliable with well-known historians like
Lee Allen image is in public domain. No reason why I shouldn't promote it. Thanks
