– Per the SABR biography on the baseball player, son of Orator Jim, footnote #3 says Throughout his 13-year career as a major- and minor-league ballplayer, James Stephen O’Rourke was known as Jimmy. The putative nickname Queenie did not appear in newsprint during O’Rourke’s lifetime. Rather, it debuted some months after his death in December 1955 in the second edition of The Official Encyclopedia of Baseball by Hy Turkin and S.C. Thompson. Like other biographical data published in T&T, the provenance of this heretofore unknown O’Rourke nickname was not provided, and has proved untraceable. Notwithstanding that, Queenie O’Rourke was adopted as our subject’s name by ensuing baseball reference works and remains in use today. The effort to extirpate this fictitious appellation from current authority is ongoing at this writing. I endorse this effort. Newspapers.com shows 31 hits for "Queenie O'Rourke", none of them before his death (I'm unclear on this, but three of them may be from users clipping articles and calling him "Queenie", though the articles themselves don't use the nickname). His obit does not refer to him as "Queenie". It's not his WP:COMMONNAME. The page Jimmy O'Rourke should be a redirect to the dab page James O'Rourke. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:15, 14 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support per detailed nomination. Jimmy O'Rourke should indeed redirect to the James O'Rourke disambiguation page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:19, 14 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
