Marc with a 'c'[edit]

There is a link to Mark Robinson but no explicit mention of Marc Robinson, whereas there are at least two in Wikipedia. I've looked at guidelines and I'm not sure which solution is appropriate:

Add another line "Marc Robinson" (but there is no disambiguation page to link to);
Or edit the Mark Robinson line to include "or Marc".

Conflict of interest: I'm called Marc Robinson (but I don't have a Wikipedia entry). Marcrr (talk) 16:26, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One editor adopted your 2nd option, but since (as you said) there are only 2 Marc articles I went a step further and added both here. Wire723 (talk) 18:41, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
