At the risk of contradicting myself in another thread, is it not best
to just create a stub and be done with it? "A M Other was a biochemist
who won the [[Benjamin Franklin Medal]] in 1942. {{science-bio-stub}}
[[Category:Benjamin Franklin Medal winners]]". It's marginal for a
stub, but probably just legal.

Then you can make all the redirects.
