Numerous William Seymours

It appears there are a number of Wikipedia articles about guys named William Seymour. There's this one (about the African American minister, as of 28 April 2006), plus:

William H. Seymour

William K. Seymour

William Seymour, 2nd Duke of Somerset

William Seymour, 3rd Duke of Somerset, and even a

William Seymour Tyler

So it seems to me that the William Seymour page should be a disambiguation page, which would entail renaming (moving) this article about the African American minister. Assuming that were to happen, is there an article name that would be preferred by the editors who have been creating the present article? William Joseph Seymour? William J. Seymour? William Seymour (minister)? -- Muffuletta 23:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

William Seymour → William J. Seymour … Rationale: to allow William Seymour to become a disambig page -- Muffuletta 17:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support since some of these sources do show this man as William J. Also the last external link should be moved to the dab page; that looks like somebody elze. Septentrionalis 22:18, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Note that William Kean Seymour is spelled out now; apparently following his own usage. Septentrionalis 22:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So noted; I changed the link in my tentative dab list. Also, good catch on that last external link. I even reformatted the link without checking it out. -- Muffuletta 13:49, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
