The result of the move request was: Moved to William Clother (tennis) William Clothier (tennis)  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 20:55, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

William Clothier → William J. Clothier – The tennis player from over a hundred years ago was referenced as "William J." by The New York Times, his gravestone is inscribed "WILLIAM JACKSON CLOTHIER" and he is listed as "Bill" at International Tennis Hall of Fame. With this in mind, I would additionally support Bill Clothier as well as William Clothier (tennis) if consensus skews towards those forms. It also does not appear that his historical prominence exceeds that of two-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer William H. Clothier who was frequently billed as "William Clothier", such as in the credits of 1947's For You I Die. A disambiguation page which has as its main title header "William Clothier" would list two prominent men — William J. Clothier and William H. Clothier. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.  Calidum   19:27, 25 July 2020 (UTC)  —Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 10:29, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I propose William Clother (tennis) as that appears to be his WP:COMMONNAME. Support moving and creating a disambig page.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:00, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Why "Clother"? Every source spells it "Clothier"! --R'n'B (call me Russ) 00:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It was a misspelling on my side. Should be Clothier, feel free to fix.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done --R'n'B (call me Russ) 02:08, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, apologies guys, I also did not notice the typo. Thanks for sorting this, RnB, and I've also amended my close above so it's clear what the result was. Cheers &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 04:26, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
