R. G. Jarvis → Ron Jarvis – The only cited source calls him Ron Jarvis, which is already a redirect to here. Dicklyon (talk) 16:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 05:04, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Looking at Google Books results there's not much in it "Ron Jarvis" 1660 results [1] versus "R. G. Jarvis" 1340 results [2] but the results for 'Ron Jarvis' look very random and don't necessarily relate to this topic. Zarcadia (talk) 21:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree there are not many sources for this guy; most of those are not, and the ones that are (of the R. G. Jarvis) are from paper citations, not representative of what he would be called in a context that's not so strongly styled toward initials. Dicklyon (talk) 22:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it looks like "Ronald Jarvis" would be an even better choice, more common in sources. Dicklyon (talk) 22:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment. Needs more input about, especially with Ron v Ronald. Jenks24 (talk) 05:04, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support "Ron Jarvis" per WP:COMMONNAME. It's used in the book written about him, which appears to be the best source available (and the only one cited here).--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
