J. ClarkJason Crowe "J." Clark – this does not appear to he the primary meaning of "J.Clark" [1]; so "J. Clark" should redirect to the name article Clark where multiple J. Clarks are listed; not to mention Jay Clarks -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:06, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I know, but I'd need to see evidence of such usages to sway me. Looking over search results for "J Clark" isn't turning anything up. I'd want to see something like the first sentence at Samuel Johnson ("often referred to as Dr Johnson"). --BDD (talk) 17:12, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per BDD. If the only J. Clark in the whole world was (for example) this Jim Clark racing driver, would we set up a redirect J. Clark on Wikipedia, pointing to the main Jim Clark article? We would not. Unless there was some reason to think he was commonly known by that initial, that redirect simply wouldn't exist. So that means that the guy who really is called "J. Clark" is the only plausible target for this article name. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 23:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
