Michael Taylor (baseball, born 1991)Michael A. Taylor – Common name used to refer to the player (with middle initial included in coverage by The Washington Post, MASN, and Baseball America). A less awkward title for a player who is considerably more prominent than Michael Taylor (baseball, born 1985). -Kudzu1 (talk) 06:22, 2 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

What other notable people commonly use the name "Michael A. Taylor"? Rlendog (talk) 16:37, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Is the murderer notable enough to have his own article? If not, it shouldn't matter that there is one. There may be another person named Barack Obama. That doesn't mean we need to dab the president to Barack Obama (president). Rlendog (talk) 16:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
As of now, the murderer is not notable enough to have his own article. If he becomes notable, I recommend we name dab his article to Michael Taylor (prisoner) or Michael A. Taylor (prisoner). Fbdave (talk) 01:02, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

No harm in giving it another week to see if consensus develops. Jenks24 (talk) 13:48, 10 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Should we move Michael Taylor (American football) to Michael A. Taylor (American football) and dab Michael Angelo Taylor? Fbdave (talk) 01:02, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Michael Taylor (baseball, born 1991)Michael A. Taylor – I am reopening this discussion two years after the previous one. Now that Taylor is more well known, sources seem to refer to him as Michael A. Taylor more often. MLB.com lists him has Michael A. Taylor. Per WP:COMMONNAME, plus the fact that Michael A. Taylor already redirects here, it makes sense.

Support: Shorter article titles are desirable and this clearly meets COMMONNAME criteria. -Kudzu1 (talk) 09:57, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hatnotes

I'm sure the hatnotes I've just put there are not ideal, but they will do the job until someone more knowledgeable can do something more elegant. Andrewa (talk) 20:32, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
