Disambiguation

[edit]

As I've pointed out on the Talk page for Humphrey Mackworth (Parliamentarian), articles under this name can only increase in number, as there were lots of them. I think that ideally the bare name should take you to a disambiguation page, as there are already at least three pages on people of this name: this one has no better claim to it than any other. He was in no sense more notable than his grandfather, who was a serious political player under the Protectorate. He doesn't have a qualifier in his article title, I guess, because he just happened to get an article first. I think a lifespan indication in the titles might be best. All three were Parliamentarians in the sense of being MPs, and the first two were both Commonwealth men too. I will make moves in that direction in about a fortnight if nobody comes up with a cogent reason for not doing. So they would become Humphrey Mackworth (1603-54), Humphrey Mackworth (born 1631) and Humphrey Mackworth (1657-1727), etc. There might be more, as the name was used in all branches of the Mackworth family, and even the Betton Strange branch, from which all three of these derived, had at least one more of some note: a 16th century soldier who was killed in Ireland.
