Common name[edit]

Regarding the move of this page, W. E. Brock (74%), William E. Brock (14%), and William Brock (13%) are the only iterations of Brock's name that constitute over 5% of references to him on newspapers.com in Tennessee from 1920 to 1950. Per WP:INITS, a written-out name is preferable to simply initials if the written-out version is used by RS. This is, however, a borderline case where either would be fine.
