[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move the page to Earl Wilson (pitcher), per the discussion below. There does not seem to be a primary topic for "Earl Wilson". Links can be fixed separately. Dekimasuよ! 06:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Robert Earl Wilson → Earl Wilson — reverting recent move to Robert Earl Wilson - (a)WP:NAME says not to use middle name for dab purposes if not usually used, and this must apply to first names; and (b) many links and template link to this form of his name — PamD (talk) 00:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Earl Wilson (pitcher) may be better. There is no reason to believe he is ultimately more notable than the other two entries in Earl Wilson (disambiguation). Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support - Pitcher Earl Wilson never by the name Robert Earl Wilson. He was always known in baseball as Earl Wilson. Cbl62 (talk) 23:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose moving to Earl Wilson -- that is correctly a disambiguation page, as no one of the individuals is clearly more notable than the others. Agree with Pmanderson that Earl Wilson (pitcher) would be a better option. older ≠ wiser 18:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links needing tidying
OK, so the debate went against my proposal (though I'm not sure the closer noticed this: I was proposing "Earl Wilson" again for this person). Who's going to tidy up all the links which point to the dab page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Earl_Wilson , most of which appear to be links intending to reach the baseball player?
