Talk:Norman Kay (composer)

Requested move

There's another Norman Kay, who was a famous American bridge player [1]. According to this Google search, both are about equally notable, as the results are interspersed. There are few solutions to this problem:

1. Move the composer to Norman F. Kay, which is he sometimes credited to, and the bridge player remains here. {{for}} or like should be used on both.
2. Move the composer to Norman Kay (composer), and the bridge player to Norman Kay (bridge player). Use this page as {{dab}}.
3. Create a new article on Norman Kay (bridge player), retain the composer here, and add {{for}} here for the bridge player. Duja 15:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Why was this move not simply implemented? I doubt anyone would have taken issue with it. Needless bureaucracy is a bad thing.--SB | T 23:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, I think you're right; I should have been BOLD|bold and skip the bureaucracy. I'll do it now. Duja 06:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
