Mike Burns (cricketer) → Mike Burns (English cricketer) – The short form Mike Burns (cricketer) is incomplete disambiguation and should redirect to the Michael Burns disambiguation page which also lists Michael Burns (New Zealand cricketer). The two entries should be analogous — either Mike Burns (cricketer) / Michael Burns (cricketer) or the more-specific forms Mike Burns (English cricketer) / Michael Burns (New Zealand cricketer), which would then require the short form Michael Burns (cricketer) to likewise become a redirect to the Michael Burns dab. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:34, 8 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. --  EN  - Jungwon  11:11, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose the English cricketer is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as he's an international umpire, and had a vastly longer career than the NZ cricketer. Tis is demonstrated by pageviews too. Also, only the English cricketer seems to be known as "Mike" anyway. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:25, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Joseph2302. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:INCDAB. The dismabiguator is a navigational tool and it usually isn't helpful for us to determine a primary topic for the title that only exists as a Wikipedia construct. Dekimasu よ! 04:03, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * He's the only cricketer actually known as Mike Burns, and there's already been past consensus to do this when one cricketer is way more notable than the other(s) of the same name e.g. Steve Smith (cricketer). Making it more difficult for people to find what they're looking for is illogical. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:14, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
