Oppose. The middle initial "B" was part of his official name and signature. Various sources ([1], [2], [3]) do indicate the "B.". Perhaps a full RM discussion may produce a consensus. Roman Spinner(talk • contribs) 23:45, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support also per WP:CONCISE (and the nom needs to read WP:OFFICIALNAME; WP doesn't care what's "official"). It's obvious from the sources that both "John Hightower" and "John B. Hightower" have been used both during and after his lifetime, so inserting the middle initial is just over-disambiguation. John Hightower already redirects here as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, so it should just be the article title. — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 05:03, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
