More articles link to the director of the same name than this disambiguation - shouldn't the director Malone have the main article and this fellow have "William Malone (soldier)"? --Gafaddict 07:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
- I see that the article was originally William Malone, and was then moved to the current title to "make way for a dab page". Disambiguation by adding a middle name is not the way to go about this. The page should be listed by the name that the person was known as, and if disambiguation is needed, then a descriptor is added in parentheses. So was he known as William George Malone or William Malone? Schwede66 19:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
- I'm not sure which is best to use. A lot of my sources do refer to him as William George Malone on first mention; some then revert to Malone or in case, William Malone. Others use W. G. Malone or William Malone on first mention. I'm inclined to go with William Malone with (soldier) as a disambiguator. He is named in this way in the news article that is referenced in the article, which to me suggests this is the common name in usage. Zawed (talk) 09:26, 7 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
