Here is a message I shared with cataloging colleagues.
In general the proposed policy makes sense for searching entity names for
subject headings; it would be nice not to need to look them up in the two
separate files (if I could even remember to look in the name authority if
it were not found in the subject authority file!).
On the other hand, if the need for a name heading is less frequent, why
could there not be a blanket policy that the name of the place followed by
(Agency) would be the standard for use as a name heading? Especially this
could work if LC has ensured that each park, forest, wildlife reserve,
etc., has a subject authority entry. That would give the form of the name
itself if there is more than one form, as when a national monument has
become a national park, or when a wilderness has been renamed. That said,
apparently the need for name headings of this type is less frequent,
meaning there would not be many in the name authority file.
Ken
