Michael Burns (American actor) → Michael Burns (actor) – Sole actor named Michael Burns. No need to indicate national identity. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:25, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping There also is Mike Burns (actor) (English actor in 1991 BBC sitcom The Brittas Empire), and "Mike" is a common short form for "Michael". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:28, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support per WP:PRECISE. Mike Burns (actor) is not an article, it is merely a redirect to an article that contains no information about Mike Burns other than the name of one character he played in the 1990s sitcom. Station1 (talk) 06:32, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. The Brittas Empire regular cast member Mike Burns had his own extremely brief stub for twelve-and-a-half years, from September 2005 to April 2018, when it was redirected to List of The Brittas Empire characters#Colin Weatherby. However, even if the stub was still active, the American actor was never credited as "Mike", nor did he ever use "Mike Burns" as a stage name. The qualifiers are thus unbalanced, with one described as "(American actor)" and the other as simply "(actor)". Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 13:22, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support move. As we don't have an article for the Englishman, and the other American goes by a nickname, that leaves this American as the sole notable actor to professionally use some variant of the name. ONR (talk) 06:36, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
