I suggest we rename this article. I find the current name confusing. I added a couple of paragraphs to the article on the Canadian Coast Guard, that quoted "Michael Byers". The wikilink to Michael Byers pointed to some other guy, an English professor. It had a hat note about the "Canadian non-fiction author". I assumed that there were three notable Michael Byers, the American academic, the Canadian non-fiction author, and the Canadian academic. I moved the American academic to Michael Byers (American academic), so Michael Byers could be the disambiguation page. It was only after I had started the disambiguation page that I realized that Michael Byers the non-fiction author is the Canadian academic.

The current name is a bad name. Geo Swan (talk) 02:03, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
