Shouldn't the first person under "Michel Côté" be the actor? Page view stats are much higher than for this guy. - Sweet Nightmares 15:38, 21 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I went ahead with the change. - SweetNightmares 20:21, 5 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Michel Côté (Canadian politician)Michel Côté (MP) – Existing title is incomplete disambiguation, as Michel Côté (MNA) was also a Canadian politician. At the time this was first created, the naming convention in place for Canadian politicians was that if a federal Member of Parliament and a lower-level (provincial or municipal) politician with the same name both had to get dabbed because neither one could claim primary topic, then the MP got priority rights to the titles "politician" or "Canadian politician" due to their role being federal, and only the "lesser" figure actually had to be dabbed down to the province or role levels — but Wikipedia's naming conventions have evolved considerably since 2005, and the contemporary rule in a situation like this is to always use complete disambiguation by role rather than letting one have a title that's still technically ambiguous.

Although this discussion was closed before I saw Patar knight's question, I still wanted to respond to it just so that it's on the record: adding a geographic identifier to the title would only be necessary if there were other Michel Côtés in other countries who had also been members of their other country's parliament. We don't automatically disambiguate people by nationality in all cases; we add nationality only when occupation still isn't enough. Bearcat (talk) 18:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
