Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The article John Cassidy (magician) was originally moved to John Cassidy on 31 March 2006 because at the time there was only one person with this name in English Wikipedia [1]. Since than a second John Cassidy (artist) has been added to Wikipedia by me. There is also a third requested page for John Cassidy (baseball player). It does not appear to me from reading the articles that one of these people is more notable that any other. I therefore suggest the following moves. -- Patleahy 23:15, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- John Cassidy → John Cassidy (magician)
- John Cassidy (disambiguation) → John Cassidy
- John Cassidy (artist) does not move.

Discussion[edit]

Add any additional comments

John Cassidy is also a staff writer for the The New Yorker and a published author. This name was incorrectly linked to John Cassidy (i.e. the magician) on Grover Norquist. I changed the link to John Cassidy (journalist) -- Patleahy 23:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The move sounds fine to me; I don't think there would be any controversy over it, and I see it's already been made and the disambig is in place. No problems at all. - Brian Kendig 01:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
