There are several prominent people with the name "Mike Moore". There's the former NZ Prime Minister, the American left-wing comedian/journalist/pundit, and also a fictional character in the Australian current affairs satire "Frontline". We'll probably have to disambiguate at least the first two. --Robert Merkel

How about moving the current article to Mike Moore (1) and writing a disambiguating page such as:

Mike Moore (1) - Former NZ prime minister and head of WTO

Mike Moore (2) - left-wing comedian/journalist/pundit

Mike Moore (3) - a fictional character in the Australian current affairs satire "Frontline"

(the latter don't need to be separate pages until they expand to more than a sentence or two or they need linking from some other article.)

• Michael Moore (#2 above) does not go by Mike professionally. I think he should be under "Michael" since that's what he uses professionally, unlike e.g. "Bill Clinton" or "Billy Bob Thornton." See, for example, http://www.michaelmoore.com , or the credits of any of his movies or TV series. Koyaanis Qatsi, Friday, March 29, 2002
