John Deasy (Fine Gael politician) → John Deasy – This person has now been a TD for slightly longer than the 19th century politician was an MP, and generally seems the more significant figure, so is therefore the primary meaning. --Relisted.

Oppose - Its not length of service which determines who gets to be the primary topic. Nor do I see any evidence that the backbench Waterford TD is more notable than the 19th century politician. Snappy (talk) 18:11, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose silly rationale for a primarytopic claim. Dicklyon (talk) 05:06, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
