Additional details for discussion in amplifying entries within the Peter Godfrey disambiguation page[edit]

Suggested below are potential additions as well as possible adjustments, improvements and emendations to the existing three [as of this writing, on August 15, 2014] entries within the Peter Godfrey disambiguation page. Only those bearing the name "Peter Godfrey", who are mentioned in Wikipedia articles, are eligible for inclusion. As of this writing, only two subjects (among the eight main entries listed below), Peter Godfrey (director) and Peter Godfrey (footballer), have their own articles. Each of the remaining six names, including one listed under section header "Fictional characters", is not linked by name, but by the title of the article in which his name appears. If the article is a lengthy one, thus making the name difficult to locate, a more specific link may be utilized, indicating the relevant section header under which the name can be found within the article. Although some of the names might not carry sufficient notability to warrant stand-alone articles, their presence within existing entries provides a signpost for those who may be searching for a mention of that individual.

Since all of those listed are named "Peter Godfrey", the names are indicated in chronological order, by year of birth. If the birth year is unavailable, each individual's position within the list is determined by related factors, such as his years of activity or the dates of events which establish his notability. Individuals who have differently spelled surnames or compound surnames, but whose inclusion may be helpful to users searching for a closely related or partial entry, are listed under the last section header, "See also".
