Article title

I think the page should be moved to either Frederick Barton or Rick Barton (ambassador) (there's already an article at Rick Barton) – which is he more commonly known as? January (talk) 11:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support either: should be moved. Alternate names / nick names should be mentioned in the lede, not the title. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:18, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support either shouldnt really have nicknames mixed with real names in article title, although perhaps if the dab is used than perhaps advisor may be better than ambassador but not using a disambiguator would be better. MilborneOne (talk) 19:18, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rick Barton (ambassador) as preference, as he is commonly known as "Rick" Darkness Shines (talk) 12:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Create the disambiguation page first, THEN decide where the article should go. - In addition to Rick Barton and Frederick "Rick" Barton, there is also Frederick Barton Maurice and still others (Richard Barton's, etc.) --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

Support. Move this to Rick Barton (ambassador) or Rick Barton (advisor); Rick Barton (the Dropkick Murphy) to Rick Barton (guitarist) or Rick Barton (musician); and create Rick Barton as a disambiguation page listing the aforementioned and anyone else appropriate. – hysteria18 (talk) 23:21, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
