He is generally known as "Nonpareil Jack Dempsy", rather than "Jack 'Nonpareil' Dempsey", and I propose moving the article to this title. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:05, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nonpareil Dempsey → Nonpareil Jack Dempsey – WP:COMMONNAME, per 2018 comment by Joefromrandb. See, for example, this book. Ngram results here. Note that the later fighter Jack Dempsey took his stage name from this boxer, so "Jack" was commonly used as part of his name. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 18:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
