Article name

I've reverted a page move from "Pam Brown (Nebraska politician)" to "Pam Brown (politician)". Pam Brown is not all that uncommon a name, and politics is not all that uncommon a profession. It's not at all unlikely that another Pam Brown from another state or English-speaking country might go into politics. In view of that likelihood, WP:PRECISION suggests that we take steps to avoid possible future ambiguity.

In fact, a Google search turns up a "Pamela Brown" in the New Hampshire House of Representatives (see list); . Googling also turns up a piece about a Pam Brown who ran for the state legislature in Wyoming in 2014 (link), and one about a Pam Brown who ran for the Florida legislature in 2012 (link).

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We are not fortune-telling "maybe (s)he will become famous". If another Pam Brown will become famous, let's look, what to do, but not earlier. Taivorist (talk) 11:45, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pam Brown (New Hampshire politician) is probably just as notable as Pam Brown (Nebraska politician): both are/were members of their state legislture and (to date, at least) haven't occupied any more exalted position. If a Granite State Wikipedian decided to write an article on PB-NH, I suspect that it would easily survive AfD. Per point (1) at WP:POLITICIAN, "members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature" are likely to be notable.

Moving a longstanding Wikipedia article to a new name and converting the old name to a dab page can be a lot of work. I've just gone through it with Dan Hughes (basketball coach), in the course of which I had to edit more than 40 pages to change Wikilinks to the renamed article, so that they wouldn't point at the Dan Hughes dab page. By giving articles sufficiently specific names, we can save future editors a lot of trouble, and reduce the incidence of misdirected links. Ammodramus (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
