Nicholas Mosley, 3rd Baron Ravensdale → Nicholas Mosley – He is by far the most famous Nicholas Mosley. The only other one on Wikipedia is a little known 16th century mayor who didn't have an article until a couple of months ago. Also, he is never known by his title as Lord Ravensdale. This article should be the primary topic. The disambiguation page should be deleted and a hatnote used to direct anyone who was looking for the mayor, on the rare occasion that anyone is.

Support. Firstly, this Nicholas Mosley is the clear primary topic, as can bee seen by page views (2108 vs 152) and a search of the google news archives. Agree the dab page can then be deleted per WP:TWODABS. Secondly, he is much more commonly known without the title and WP:NCROY defers to COMMONNAME (see "It is generally advisable to use the most common form of the name used in reliable sources in English" and the exceptions listed at WP:NCPEER).

Support - clearly the primary topic (I've now replaced the dab page with an explicit hatnote per WP:TWODABS), and clearly meets the exception at WP:NCPEER (almost exclusively known without the title - this is how he's known as a novelist, his notable activity), so no reason to include the unnecessary disambiguator. --Kotniski (talk) 10:28, 9 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

"Issue"?

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Do we really want a section called "Marriage and issue"? Is there not a more normal word in English than "issue" in this context, like "children"? 86.170.217.64 (talk) 14:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree: "issue" is legalese. So I've changed it. Anyone who disagrees violently can revert. Paul Magnussen (talk) 00:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

The typo in the filename needs fixing (it has 'Mosely'). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:de:df13:f10:f867:f014:ff36:5e8c (talk) 19:19, 7 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have requested that the file be renamed on Commons. Thank you for spotting this. DuncanHill (talk) 19:30, 7 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
