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)

 * 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)

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?
