I see it this way: If I look for Termite, there was only one Termite in the Marvel canon, no alternate versions or weird stuff, so Termite redirects to him. If there are several characters using the same name, either in different universes or not, I think the main page should be the disambig. If you want to look for Mike Ploog (Earth-58460), or for "all the Mike Ploogs in the multiverse", there should be a way to find them.

I agree with you that we shouldn't change the page for, say, author Carl Potts - unless we need to differentiate him from another Carl Potts appearing as a character in a story or movie. However, I insist there are precedents born from a real need like these pages: Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Fred Hembeck... Remember when Dr. Doom kidnapped Stan & Jack? When John Byrne attended to Reed Richards' trial? We should have "John Byrne (Earth-616)".

Of course, IMHO. This is why we are sensibly discussing this and I'm not changing any other author page. I never thought it would be a big deal, but now that I've seen it, let's reach an agreement. Skippy Farlstendoiro (talk) 18:29, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
