Disambiguation

Needs disambiguation page with Marty Bergen the baseball star. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eljamin (talk • contribs)

The baseballer doesn't have the article yet; judging from Google results, he is also equally or even better known by the real name Martin Bergen, so he can probably reside there. Besides, even if they were exact namesakes (and approximately equally known, which seems to be the case), the articles shoud be at Marty Bergen (baseball) and Marty Bergen (bridge player); it's not WP practice to use middle names for disambiguation (unless those are widely known and used, as in George W. Bush). Duja► 07:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Eight years later User:Duja is right about the latter. WP:DISAMBiguation by middle initial introduces a neologism here.

Baseballist Marty Bergen (baseball) is 'Marty Bergen' in reputable baseball databases. Elsewhere I wrote recently that this is one bridge biography we should WP:Move over redirect to a page with simpler title, 'Marty Bergen' in this case, but I had forgotten that ballplayer. So we should move to Marty Bergen (bridge).

Done

And if i understand correctly, 'Marty A. Bergen' has not been used anywhere, always 'Marty Bergen'. --P64 (talk) 00:01, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
