Barnum → Barnum (disambiguation) –

In the same manner that Tchaikovsky redirects to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Hemingway redirects to Ernest Hemingway and Nixon redirects to Richard Nixon, so should Barnum redirect to P. T. Barnum whose name has become a byword. Barnum (disambiguation) would thus be analogous to Tchaikovsky (disambiguation), Hemingway (disambiguation), etc — Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 22:56, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
