Jack Whiting → Jack Whiting (cricketer) – No indication that the relatively brief entry for the 1920s cricketer delineates a personality of higher historical standing than Jack Whiting (actor). I would support either creation of a Jack Whiting disambiguation page listing both men and, under "See also", a link to the John Whiting (disambiguation) page or, as an alternative option, redirecting Jack Whiting to the John Whiting (disambiguation) page where the cricketer is already listed. ESPNcricinfo header for his entry is "John Whiting", however the CricketArchive header is "Jack Whiting". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:13, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support fully both proposals of: 1) creating a new, disambiguated page for Jack Whiting (cricketer), and 2) the creation of a Jack Whiting disambiguation page listing both men (especially since the actor was never known as "John"). The "See also" proposal makes abundant sense too. Thank you for posting such a neat and tidy proposal. Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^(talk)^{(become old-fashioned!)} 12:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support the actor has 715 views compared with only 12[[1]] for the cricketer. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
