Mike Barnett (ice hockey) → Michael Barnett (sports executive) – "Mike" is an informal name, Michael is the proper name. Additionally, "(ice hockey)" is limited in it's scope (Michael Barnett has worked as an agent for athletes of other spots as well as non-athlete entertainers). Sports Executive is more accurate as his most recent work has been managing and scouting for various teams. Relisted.

Survey

*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
- Oppose -- Our policy is to use the common name rather than the most formal. A skim through the sources seems to confirm that Mike would be the correct title. No prejudice one way or another towards changing the disambiguation though.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:12, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. Mike is perfectly acceptable and appears to be his common name. The current disambiguater is fine as he is primarily known for his work representing hockey players and as an NHL general manager. Calidum Talk To Me 15:47, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
