 ::::::::::Not at all. You just said that a passing mention of another person is justified, right? Well, all that we're talking about is a passing mention of another person, a one-sentence, 25-word phrase that clears up potential confusion on the part of our audience as to who this person is. Have you ever tried to do research and it turns out that the person you're researching has the same name as someone else? I actually have, and believe me, to have a deliberate mention that clarifies things like this is a benefit to our readers. You have yet to point out a) any policy that this violates and b) how this reduces in any way the value of the article. You have actually agreed that a passing mention is acceptable. So where's the problem here? Move on, have a merry Christmas, and remember that we're here to provide accurate, useful information to our audience. '''''' "
