"remarkable" Cricket player? That's interesting, but do we have a source for that? Why does it matter 143.231.249.138 (talk) 15:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)7.16.08 Pablo


 * In an unrelated matter he has recently brought up the Paris Hilton energy plan to Congress. (This is not a joke, see this. And yes I know it's FoxNews, but I don't think they're lying)--T. Anthony (talk) 00:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Michael C. Burgess → Michael Burgess (Texas politician) – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:SELFIDENTITY. He is more commonly known without his middle initial, based on his campaign website and Twitter account. The media also omits his middle initial, as in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in this 2016 profile and Dallas Morning News in 2017.

"Michael Burgess" has hundreds of results in the dallasnews.com and star-telegram.com websites, in contrast to single-digits for "Michael C. Burgess". Most of the sources cited in this article also follow suit, using his first and last names only.

Clearly, this member of the US congress can't be the primary topic due to the member of the British royal coroner and Canadian singer. Arbor to SJ (talk) 22:07, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose – though his official Twitter account and campaign website omits his middle initial, his official Congress website, the Library of Congress, as well as several sources (Denver Post, Las Vegas Sun, Journal Star, Think Progress, Detroit News, Texas Tribune, WFAA) use the middle initial. We generally prefer natural disambiguation when available. Since his name with his middle initial meets common name, in conjunction with WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION and WP:AT (which states Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title), we should keep the title as is.

 * Reply: I examined these links. Several of them are the same Associated Press story that has a photo captioned with "Michael C. Burgess." In contrast, this AP story uses "Michael Burgess" in the article.


 * Also, the WFAA source includes a TV screenshot with "Rep. Michael Burgess" in the lower chyron while using "Michael C. Burgess, M.D.," the exact form of his name from Burgess' Congressional website header.


 * The Texas Tribune article uses "Michael Burgess" three times - with "Michael C. Burgess" only in one photo caption. Arbor to SJ (talk) 08:19, 27 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Completely agree with CookieMonster755. The proposed title should be created as a redirect, though. Station1 (talk) 05:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose I'm with the above two users, keep as is and create a redirect instead. NZFC  (talk) 06:09, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
