Disambiguation
editI think there is not a very famous "Joseph Bailey" so we need to create a disambiguation page I suggest rather then adding all the notable Joseph Baileys to this page. Agree?? Victuallers 12:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Done at Joseph Bailey. Four entries at the top is way too much. — Laura Scudder ☎ 16:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Common name
editRegarding the move of this page, J. W. Bailey (46%), Joseph W. Bailey (32%), Joseph Weldon Bailey (14%), and J. W. Bailey (5%) are the only iterations of Bailey's name that constitute over 5% of references to him on newspapers.com in Texas from 1890 to 1920. Per WP:INITS, a written-out name is preferable to simply initials if the written-out version is used by RS. Star Garnet (talk) 04:12, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
