In the 1000 theorems repo and on the Wikipedia list of theorems, the name is "Sokhatsky–Weierstrass theorem". Why should it change here?

If you click the link in the Wikipedia list of theorems, you'll find that the actual article for that theorem is named: Sokhotski–Plemelj theorem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokhotski%E2%80%93Plemelj_theorem

That's my reason for suggesting it.

The talk page of that article gives an explanation of why the name we're currently using is a misunderstanding.

Since mathlib's file here is intended to mirror https://1000-plus.github.io/, I feel like the first step here would be to land your correction in that project (and perhaps also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_theorems ).

I don't mind updating the 1000+ repo as well, and can commit to doing that. But I don't intend to become a Wikipedia contributor, so I won't be fixing the list, unfortunately.

I also don't know that the order of the fixes matters: The name is just aesthetics AFAIK, what needs to mirror 1000+ is the QID, which remains untouched.
