Tim Scott → Tim Scott (baseball player) — A short reason for page name change: Tim Scott, the former MLB player, is really not a household name. He only played in the majors for a few years and he was traded almost every year (five trades in six years). Also, baseball Tim Scott's article is a stub. However, there are two individuals named Tim Scott that both have a higher profile than the former MLB player: (1) Tim Scott is a state representative from South Carolina that is running for Congress currently and the first African American Republican elected to a state office in South Carolina since Reconstruction, and (2) Tim Scott is a musical recording artist from the UK who is on the charts and making music. Going forward it makes more sense for a Wikipedia user to be looking for Tim Scott 1 and Tim Scott 2 than the former MLB player. InaMaka (talk) 14:28, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support making plain "Tim Scott" the dab. None of these individually appear to be any more famous than the rest, and the same Tim Scott itself is so common, that inevitably, there will be more articles on people by that name in the future. Hellno2 (talk) 01:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
