If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. Because of this, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Stephen Barclay → Steve Barclay (politician) – His personal website and his Offical Parliamentary profile, as well as most of the sources, use "Steve". Yes, it needs to be disambiguated, but opting for a less-used version of someone's name is not the preferred way to disambiguate. At present the article makes no mention of the name by which he appears to prefer to be known. As the existing redirect has no history, I could just have moved this page as "uncontroversial", but nothing connected to any politician is ever uncontroversial, so opening a discussion here instead.

Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 13:47, 7 July 2022 (UTC) Steve Barclay is currently a disambig page with three links: this article for the politician, one for a deceased actor, and one for a former race car driver.
