• Oppose. That's what he was actually known as. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 14:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Perhaps then there should be some sort of mention of that in the article, a simple "best known as Jonathan Edwards the younger" after the indrotuctory sentence? It mentions his father as "the elder", and yet this article is not Jonathan Edwards (the elder), although I don't know or think that that was how we was best known as. The corresponding article on Spanish Wikipedia is titled Jonathan Edwards Jr, with no mention of a "the younger". The article doesn't explain why Edwards is referred to as "the younger", other then what I have mentioned above. If you could add this mentioning to the article with reliable sources then it'll be fine. Thanks. RoyalMate1 01:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but

wp:burden is on you to prove he was referred to as "junior", and then that could be put in as you mentinon. It only takes a simple google search (or, heck, Amazon) to show this *was* the way he was referred to, and is still referred to. Therefore it's how he is disambiguated on Wikipedia. Yes, his father's article doesn't say "the elder" because that's not how he was/is referred to. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 13:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply
