John J. Davis (theologian) → John J. Davis (Grace Theological Seminary) – John Jefferson Davis is also a theologian and is sometimes referred to as John J. or JJ Davis. I'm not entirely satisfied with "(Grace Theological Seminary)" as a disambiguator but I think it's preferable to the status quo. gnu 57 23:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got a source that refers to John Jefferson Davis as "John J. Davis"? St Anselm (talk) 01:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as unnecessary. The hatnote easily takes care of any possible confusion. Station1 (talk) 04:50, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Clearly not a Grace Theological Seminary. Suggest John J. Davis (theologian, born 1936) as standard disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose John J. Davis (theologian) → John J. Davis (Grace Theological Seminary) per Necrothesp, but would support Necrothesp's suggested header form — John J. Davis (theologian, born 1936). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:27, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No need for disambiguation since John Jefferson Davis is always known with his middle name in full. St Anselm (talk) 05:34, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
