I suppose the question arises whether we should move it to Garfield Sobers or Gary Sobers. On the principle of least surprise, I would suggest Gary Sobers.

Good to see somebody adding a few more cricketers to the list of people covered in the 'Pedia! --Robert Merkel 11:58, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Google - There's not much in it.

I'd probably go with Garfield (I'm not really sure he is "better known" as Gary, just "also known"), but it doesn't really matter so long as there's a redirect from the other. I'll move and make redirect now. --Camembert

I'd go with Garfiled, as there are already a number of links using that name. Mintguy
