Allen W. Benson → Allen Benson – This should be moved per WP:COMMONNAME. I can't find a single other source referring to Allen Benson as "Allen W. Benson." This article was originally located at Allen Benson but was redirected to Allen W. Benson in 2017 and I can't find a discussion, let alone a consensus, relating to that decision. He's "Allen Benson" on Baseball-Reference, the Baseball Almanac, Retrosheet, Fangraphs, MLB.com and every other reference site. A search of Newspapers.com further reveals that all articles call him Allen Benson. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 19:08, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

• Support per nom. This is a simple reversal of a redirect. (The page was moved in 2017 by an editor who had created Allen Benson (musician), but that article was AfD'd shortly thereafter.) Station1 (talk) 23:31, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
