Jack Butler Yeats → Jack B. Yeats – WP:COMMONNAME. Per Dictionary of Irish Biography "In his early years he was known as ‘Johnnie’, and, unlike his father and brother, never used the ‘Butler’ name, only the initial." jnestorius^(talk) 00:52, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support, the National Museum of Ireland favours Jack B. plus the reasons given by the nomimator. Ceoil (talk) 01:54, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per both above. Btw, the article would greatly benefit from adding stuff from the DID bio linked above, by a biographer of Yeats. Johnbod (talk) 02:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
