John Smith (missionary)John Smith (missionary, born 1790)WP:PRECISE -- this is insufficiently precise to determine the topic of the article. There are multiple missionaries named John Smith, and being a missionary is common in Mormonism -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:51, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An evangelist and a missionary are not the same. And my point is that because so many LDS members are missionaries, it's rarely a defining characteristic of them, suitable for disambiguation. --BDD (talk) 20:48, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He goes forth amongst the outlaw bikers to preach about god, that being his mission, so is a missionary, the same as the LDS members preaching to the gentiles, and unlike megachurch pastors who preach to the faithful while using TV shows to evangelize to the masses. As LDS members frequently become missionaries, the term "missionary" is therefore ambiguous when LDS members are part of the topics to be disambiguated against, so needing additional disambiguation. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 00:18, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
