Billy Clarke (footballer, born 1878) → Willie Clarke (footballer) – Almost all contemporaneous sources refer to this footballer as 'Willie Clarke', also a number of books refer to him as 'Willie', his page was originally at Willie Clarke (footballer) which is now a redirect to the current page. The only source I can find using 'Billy Clarke' is a blog which is used as a reference on the page, this used to be a cornerstone reference on the page before I recently conducted a significant referencing and improvement to the page, which shows him almost uniformly to be referred to as 'Willie'. As per WP:MOSNICKNAME that should be the main name for this page, taking back the current redirect page. Mountain cirque 15:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Move to Willie Clarke (footballer) - other sources use 'Billy', see eg this, but if more sources (books) use 'Willie' then go for that. GiantSnowman 19:22, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
