 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Subject was known to the public as Will Campbell (Baptist minister) see Will Campbell, Preacher Man: Essays in the Spirit of a Divine Provocateur etc. and less commonly with the D. counter propose Will Campbell (Baptist minister).

 * Oppose per WP:COMMONAME. Support move to Will Campbell (Baptist minister). -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
