Following recent discussion at WT:BASEBALL, this is a proposal to rename biographical article Chink Zachary to Albert Zachary. Searching on newspapers.com during his time in professional baseball (1936 to 1951) finds that he was referred to as "Albert Zachary" (or "Al Zachary") much more than "Chink Zachary". Search examples, all done on newspapers.com:
As there is no current article named "Albert Zachary" on Wikipedia, this would be a straightforward move, with "Chink Zachary" continuing to redirect users to the new article title. Comments welcome—please reply in the below section. Thanks. Dmoore5556 ( talk) 22:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Chink Zachary → Albert Zachary – Albert Myron Zachary was predominantly referred to as "Albert Zachary" (and secondarily as "Al Zachary") during his time playing professional baseball (1936–1951). While baseball reference sites such as Baseball-Reference.com and Retrosheet list him (or have previously listed him) as "Chink Zachary", that name was not as often as Albert Zachary by contemporary newspaper reports. The results of searches conducted via newspapers.com are listed on the Talk page. Dmoore5556 ( talk) 22:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
