Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved per request. Favonian (talk) 19:36, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

James Carnegie (Member of Parliament of Scotland) → James Carnegie (died 1707) – James Carnegie (died 1707) was moved to James Carnegie (Member of Parliament of Scotland) on 18 June 2012 by User:Roman Spinner, on the grounds that the article's subject was sole James Carnegie who served as Member of Parliament of Scotland. This is inaccurate: there was another James Carnegie (died 1700) who also served in the Parliament of Scotland, so the current article title is insufficient disambiguation. Distinguishing the two by their territorial designations as Scottish feudal barons (i.e. Finhaven and Balnamoon) would not work as James Carnegie of Finhaven is already in use for the subject's son, who is probably the primary topic. WP:NCPDAB says "Years of birth and death are not normally used as disambiguators (readers are more likely to be seeking this information than to already know it) although this may be necessary when there are multiple people with the same name and tag". James Carnegie (MP died 1707) and James Carnegie (MP died 1700) would be anachronistic as the elected representatives to the Parliament of Scotland were called commissioners, not Members of Parliament. I think the original title is the simplest, though I'd welcome other suggestions. Relisted. Favonian (talk) 19:32, 27 June 2012 (UTC). Opera hat (talk) 17:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
