Variants and approximates ignored?

This morning, I'm doing some tidying up on a few families, and I've noticed Source Consistency call-outs that seem a bit odd.
Example: Winifred Holleran G77K-KYG
https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/G77K-KYG

All 3 inconsistencies are from the same record - an 1892 Delaware death record. Early death records are notorious for a lack of specific information. And, minor spelling variants truly aren't errors in a time when the clerk could only write the name the way the informant pronounced it.

Thanks for reviewing.

Hi @Áine.ní.Donnghaile,

Thank you for the feedback. I agree with you that the source consistency call outs seem a little nitpicky. I will make sure this is reviewed.

Thanks @mellamay26

When this happens to me, I add the mispelling, or the clerk error as an alterntive name, then I also attach the source to that alternative name. MOST OF THE TIME, the system will wave it through as the conflict is noted. (I also add a note as to why I think its mispelled.)

A single spelling on a death record doesn't qualify as a variant, as far as I'm concerned. It's not a name the subject used.

Thank you for the input. A ticket has been issued to see if the algorithm can be adjusted.
