Nationality of Gilbert Burns

Why is Burns labeled as "Brazilian" when he is clearly a "Brazilian-American"? He has American citizenship, and he lives and fights out of Lantana, Florida. Would it not be more accurate and appropriate to call him "Brazilian-American"? Jgriffy98 (talk) 22:15, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jgriffy98 Greetings. Pls provide source to support he has American citizenship then "Brazilian-American" can be added in with source in the article. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 22:18, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cassiopeia I just assumed he was because he lives in Lantana, Florida. I have yet to find a credible source, but I will post it here if and when I do find one. Jgriffy98 (talk) 07:38, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jgriffy98 OK, when you find a WP:secondary source (newspaper or any MMA media sites) then kindly provide the URL if you want me to help you to place the info and the citation in the page. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 09:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gilbert Burns (fighter) → Gilbert Burns – Right now, Gilbert Burns defaults to the disambiguation page for two people - a farmer from the 18th century and the fighter. I do not know how to check the number of views, but I assume that most people are trying to search for the fighter. I think it should default to the fighter with a link to the farmer at the top.

Comment: @Marty2Hotty2: You can use the Pageviews Analysis here [1]. :] GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 05:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: @GhostOfDanGurney: Thanks. It looks like the fighter has an average of 1700 daily views compared to the farmer who gets 3. I think this is an easy decision. Marty2Hotty2 (talk) 05:48, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support the fighter as primary, per above comment; overwhelming majority of page views for the fighter suggests people are searching fore him. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 13:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The fighter's page will be greatly improved with {for|younger brother of Robert Burns the poet|Gilbert Burns (farmer)} hat-note, it may make introduce MMA fans to Scots poetry, who knows. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support 36,132 views for the fighter v 70 for the farmer[[2]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:26, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I think the "farmer" Gilbert Burns page should be a hatnote on the fighter's page. Marty2Hotty2 (talk) 14:28, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
