I heard he was named after the actor Michael Douglas but his father misspelled his name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.13.90.2 (talk) 19:52, 15 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

He was born in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul. Can someone fix it, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.5.227.78 (talk) 20:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Is it true he went to Harley Street for counselling the day after Bale destroyed his career & reputation at the Lane? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.83.191.178 (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Peacock poppycock

edit

This article has enough unsourced laudatory description to open a peacock farm! If some interested party doesn't research and clean it up, it needs a wholesale scrubbing. Tapered (talk) 06:52, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Manchester City

edit

There have been a large number of IPs changing the article to say Maicon has moved to Manchester City, without providing any sources, so I have semi-protected it for 24 hours. Until there is at least one reliable source (and I can't find anything in a Google news search), and that source is used as a reference to support the claim of a move to Manchester City, this article must not be changed to say he plays for Manchester City. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:17, 30 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Maicon (footballer born 1981)Maicon Sisenando – I'm not really happy about this. We have too many mononymic footballers unhelpfully titled with full names that are unlikely to be recognized. But this title is ambiguous, as it also describes Maicon dos Santos. Undoubtedly this is the most prominent individual known as Maicon these days, but to keep the current title for that reason is a strange application of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. (There wasn't even a hatnote until I just added one.) So let's make up our minds. Add his surname to make an unambiguous title, or declare him the real primary topic and move him to Maicon. I would support either solution. BDD (talk) 01:01, 15 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Maicon (footballer born 1981) 92246 .vs. others 32756. A 3-1 ratio easily satifies WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Zarcadia (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

– This footballer is known as "Maicon", but unfortunately there are several footballers known with that name. As mentioned by User:Zarcadia in the RM from February 2013, (which was a reasonable move) this footballer is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. My first thought was to propose to move this article to Maicon (footballer), as he is the most prominent footballer of those named "Maicon", but as all the other people known as Maicon also are footballer that would be unnecessary disambiguation. When looking at the page-views for the last 90 days [9], this footballer got 107,215 page-views, while the other 8 footballers listed at the disambiguation page got a total of 52,653 views including Maicon Pereira de Oliveira with 25,615 views and Maicon Pereira Roque with 13,008 views. This suggests that Maicon Sisenando is the primarytopic of "Maicon". Mentoz86 (talk) 09:18, 20 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

WP:CRITERIA only says a title should be one "that someone familiar with... the subject will recognize." And since all the uses of the term relate to footballers, the question is primarily whether most people who follow football think of Maicon Sisenando when they hear "Maicon" without qualification. --BDD (talk) 18:56, 20 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
We can't limit consensus to football demographics. I'm sure that general people don't associate "Maicon" with some random footballer, known in specific country. --George Ho (talk) 19:27, 20 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well, he aint Madonna or Pelé, but a lot of the Brazilian international footballer are primarly known with one name. In the case of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Bebeto, Lúcio, Neymar, Oscar (footballer born 1991) or Fred (footballer), this is their first name, while people like Cafu, Dunga, Bebeto, Kaká and Zico are best known by their nick-name. So when there already is a consensus that this is a good way to name articles about Brazilian footballers, we should examine if Maicon Sisenando is known by his last-name, or if he is primarly known by his first-name. Searching for "Maicon Sisenando" gives me 139k results on google, while searching for "Maicon Inter" (the club he spent the majority of his career) gives 4 million results on google - I believe that is enough proof to say that noone uses his last-name, and that "Maicon" is a more WP:PRECISE article title than "Maicon Sisenado".
