Mike Glennon

Not sure why you are changing Mike Glennon to Michael Joseph Glennon. Mike is his common name.--Yankees10 01:33, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

@Yankees10: because there are many people named Michael Glennon and "Mike" is a common nick. Would you like me to change it to Mike Glennon (American football) instead? Viriditas (talk) 01:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

The disambiguation is unnecessary as this Glennon is the only one that goes by Mike. It also appears this is the more notable Mike/Michael Glennon anyway. A hatnote would make more sense.--Yankees10 01:38, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Not true. You need to be careful of Google search recentism. Michael J. Glennon also goes by "Mike"[1][2][3][4][5] as I'm sure many others do as well. As I previously said, "Mike' is short for "Michael". As for notability, I would say that is hotly disputed. I doubt anyone in Australia has ever heard of the football player. The congressional literature, including political books on law, is full of references to Mike Glennon for years before the football player was born. There's even a newspaper article showing that the attorney was using the name in 1970 as a student.[6] Basically, your argument is that only "Mike Glennon" should redirect to the football player, but since "Mike is the most common abbreviation or shorthand for Michael", I argue that it should redirect to the dab page.

@Yankees10: because the attorney appears to be the only one who goes by "Mike", I'll reverse the move and compromise on a hatnote. Viriditas (talk) 02:00, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I'll have an admin move it. Viriditas (talk) 02:02, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good. Thanks.--Yankees10 03:06, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
