George Whitmore (Lord Mayor) → George Whitmore (haberdasher) – My understanding is that we tend to not use political role titles as disambiguation terms on Wikipedia. Also, "Lord Mayor" is not his full formal title (which was "Lord Mayor of London"). According to a comment by Necrothesp at Talk:James Esdaile (lord mayor), lord mayors are generally not really politicians, but rather are businessmen, and it was suggested to use the actual profession if known. This George Whitmore was a haberdasher. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:47, 21 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
