Thomas Mostyn → Thomas Mostyn (sea captain) – Wikipedia has articles for other people called Thomas Mostyn, including two of the Mostyn baronets. There are references to other people called Thomas Mostyn in Wikipedia, including other members of the Mostyn of Mostyn Hall family, as well as the painter Thomas Edwin (Tom) Mostyn.

None of these appear to be especially well known, from what I can see. A look through the "What links here" page found quite a few which referred to someone else, and I feel having the name point to a specific article contributed to these errors.

I suggest making "Thomas Mostyn" a disambiguation page, and giving this one a more specific name. I took the name above from the start of the article, but alternative suggestions are welcome. Aoeuidhtns (talk) 20:31, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
