Article location concerns[edit]

Concern raised is this:

"primary redirects to article, different name order so is this needed as more than a hatnote, see WP:TWODABS"

Neither is primary, and one may potentially spell an individual in either order. I did in fact have to rearrange name order for the bureaucrat in one article. It's easy to assume that with a name like "Masaru Inoue," more name conflicts could be discovered in the future, however hatnotes only for now can also work. --Bxj (talk) 10:14, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE stop unilaterally removing the cleanup tags - there is still work to do here, and by bringing it to the attention of people who work on these pages all the time, we can make it the best possible. For instance, the primary title shouldn't redirect to a disambiguated title. Boleyn (talk) 20:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE stop unilaterally adding cleanup tags - it's a three line article. There is not enough volume to warrant the use of cleanup tagging. If you know what's wrong, fix it instead. Don't add comments inside comment tags. Add comments in the discussion page so others can respond to it. Neither individuals are major enough to qualify as primary topic. --Bxj (talk) 22:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are two workable solutions here. Either a dab page can go to either order of the surname and given name (these two individuals share a given name and surname) and the two articles can have qualifiers, or the articles can go to the base names with hatnotes leading to the others. Since the arrangement as I encountered it was WP:MALPLACED, I've moved the dab to the base name and updated the redirects. The incoming links need to be fixed, or I can move the articles back to the base names if you two can agree that that is workable (or if other editors can chime in and form a consensus). I won't be able to address the incoming links until this evening (GMT -5), at earliest. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:31, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
