Michael Snowden → Mick Snowden – Mick Snowden is more commonly used to discuss this player. Player uses Mick Snowden on his social media accounts and other rugby sites including Ultimate Rugby, ESPN, and itsrugby all use Mick instead of Michael. News sources also tend to use Mick instead of Michael as well when discussing the player. Therefore, I believe it would be suitable to move this page to Mick Snowden.

This Western Force article from 2012 uses Michael, but as his career has gone on, Mick has been more commonly used, with teams rarely using Michael.
