William Henry Draper → William Henry Draper (judge) – There are several Williams Henry Draper, none can claim to be the primary topic. William Henry Draper should redirect → William Henry Draper (disambiguation) Cnbrb (talk) 01:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support William Henry Draper (disambiguation) → William Henry Draper and William Henry Draper → William Henry Draper (judge) and would also support William Henry Draper → William Henry Draper (premier) or William Henry Draper → William Henry Draper (Canadian politician) if consensus skews towards deciding that his political posts were historically more notable than his judicial appointments. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:26, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support sorting of the Drapers. William Henry Draper (disambiguation) → William Henry Draper and William Henry Draper → William Henry Draper (judge) Lindenfall (talk) 19:02, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support William Henry Draper (hymnwriter) gets 89 views compared with 104 for the judge and 24 for William Henry Draper (congressman) [[1]]. William Henry Draper III also gets 3,433 and William Henry Draper Jr. gets 1,760. The DAB page gets 11 views which is high since most DABs ending in "(disambiguation)" that have an article at the base name usually only get around 2%. Also the DAB should be moved to the base name per WP:MALPLACED rather than the base name redirecting to it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:48, 11 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
