[edit]

I called it Michael Collins (independent politician) as Michael Collins (Cork politician) refers to the 1910s-20s guy. Debbiesw (talk) 16:30, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you meant to write something like "I would have called it", because you didn't call it Michael Collins (independent politician), which is not a good name either: both D. Michael Collins and Michael Collins (Limerick politician) were independents for at least some of their careers. I agree that Michael Collins (Cork politician) is more likely to mean Michael Collins (Irish leader), but simplest is to point that back to the DAB page. I have moved this page to Schull politician, though independent Cork politician or politician born 19xx might also work as disambiguators. jnestorius(talk) 17:26, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(Schull politician) is a reasonable solution, though I was going to propose leaving it at (Cork politician) and adding a hatnote linking to (Irish leader). I don't think anybody would call the Big Fellow a "Cork politician". — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 17:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Collins (Schull politician)Michael Collins (Independent Ireland): What is Schull? Is that where he is from? I would say it’s quite hard right now to find this article. Given that there is a very notable Irish leader with the same name, I believe adding the parties name to disambiguate this article would suffice.

Rename to Michael Collins (politician, born 1968) per above. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 01:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
