Semi-protection and my comment

Following this request I have semi-protected this article.
I have read the mentioned Telegraph article too. Currently his birth year and current living place — are uncourced. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable, and we should give special attention to biographies of living persons.
I am removing these information from the article. Please find reliable sources before re-adding these. --Tito Dutta (talk) 15:24, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

– The journalist gets twice as many hits as the actor.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 20:00, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose first, support second move Michael Deacon (disambiguation) over baseline per WP:TWODABS; these two bios are pretty much evenly matched in importance and sudden U-turn flips between ambiguated title are bad for links. Readers should be allowed to choose from clearly titled articles. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:35, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the theatre director and the Scottish actor are the same person? In ictu oculi (talk) 22:41, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose first, support second per In ictu oculi. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 00:00, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose first, support second (and then "Michael Deacon" is recast as a disambiguation page, which is implied). Neither is very notable, so neither is clearly the primary topic. A 2-1 advantage in pageviews isn't enough to establish one as the primary topic. Herostratus (talk) 03:49, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
