Merwin Crawford Young → M. Crawford Young – Per WP:COMMONAME. He always published as "M. Crawford Young" and was clearly (1) referred to by this name in other academic contexts. The name is also used in many of his obituaries (2) —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:30, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support per nomination. Subject's common name does indeed appear to be "M. Crawford Young", rather than the full form "Merwin Crawford Young". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 09:40, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support per above. This will restore the title as it was before an undiscussed move in 2017. Station1 (talk) 03:24, 14 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
