Michael McCafferty (software entrepreneur) → Michael McCafferty – Unnecessary disambiguation, no one has a BLP on WP by this name. There is a 'disambiguation' page, that has only this page on it, this will need to be deleted or 'overwritten' to move this page there. 220  of  Borg 08:09, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - why was it necessary to create this at (software entrepreneur), had the baseline already had an article which had been AfDed or something. I see the baseline has 06:14, 30 November 2009 MBisanz (talk | contribs) deleted page Talk:Michael McCafferty (CSD G8) 20:25, 31 October 2009 Occono (talk | contribs) moved page Talk:Michael McCafferty to Talk:Mike McCafferty (revert)... were those earlier deleted versions of this article?
 * In any case, marginal notability aside: There are 5 other Michael McCafferty's mentioned in articles and books (and now added to dab) all of which seem more notable in print than this one. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:31, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but what do you mean by 'baseline'? 220  of  Borg 14:53, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose I saw the history by Occono in 2009 as well but it did not seem related to the guy I was writing about so I broke it out as its own. My intention was to expand the various other Michael McCafferty's but it was getting late so I was going to tackle that in morning but see that In ictu oculi beat me to it.  Thank you for that!  I will continue to improve on the Michael McCafferty (software entrepreneur) page as he has a very deep history and has been an early shaper of the CRM space.  My hope is that I can accurately portray this significance. RobBertholf (talk) 15:00, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe just Michael McCafferty (programmer) then? "software entrepreneur" seems a bit 'flowery'. 220  of  Borg 15:06, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I may have to eat my 'words' that term is used a few times in page titles on WP (Still seems bit 'wanky' to me)  . 220  of  Borg 15:10, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You beat me to the punch :) RobBertholf (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe just Michael McCafferty (entrepreneur) then? I agree the "software entrepreneur" is long, but I was trying to encapsulate both his business side and programming side as most of his recent notability is as an entrepreneur versus his early career as a programmer. I am open to what the community determines but personally feel both words help best describe him.  I actually got the title from a series of different searches, there seem to be a precedence for the search term .RobBertholf (talk) 15:17, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If he had a middle initial it would be easy wouldn't it? WP:Common name is the relevant policy, I think. Too late to care at the moment. Zzzzz time .220  of  Borg 16:47, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Added additional citations and removed notability tag. Please advise if there are any current concerns.RobBertholf (talk) 17:08, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
