Talk:Flora MacDonald (politician)

message: It's very awkward to have Flora MacDonald and Flora Macdonald be completely different pages. I'd suggest that this Flora MacDonald is less notable, hence we should disambiguate this page with her middle name, and let Flora MacDonald link to Flora Macdonald. Any objections? Adam Cuerden talk 16:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I object (since you ask).  The Canadian politician is just not known as "Flora Isabel MacDonald".  If it is necessary or desirable to disambiguate, another means should be found (e.g. birth dates, or a designator like "politician"). Noel S McFerran 19:13, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How about Flora MacDonald (politician)? Adam Cuerden talk 19:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It may be a matter of where we are each from, but this Flora is far more notable, at least here in Canada. She is widely known by her name as it appears in the article title.  I would suggest the other article be named Flora MacDonald (Jacobite Heroine) rather than change this article, but the suggestion of adding (politician) is better than adding her middle name.  --KenWalker | Talk 19:53, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: DNB supports MacDonald for the Jacobite. In the rest of the English-speaking world, she is probably more known than a defeated Canadian Minister; we should disambiguate both and set up a dab page to avoid mislinks. Using {politician) and {Jacobite) is probably least trouble. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds sensible to me.--KenWalker | Talk 19:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Works for me. Just the current state of things must change. Adam Cuerden talk 23:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

text: How about "Flora MacDonald (Canadian politican)" (note lower-case "p") and "Flora MacDonald (Jacobite)".  It seems to me that the word "heroine" is POV. Noel S McFerran 18:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Jacobite" might be a little obscure, given Flora's slightly better known than the disagreements and uprisings that form the context for her story. What about "Scottish Jacobite"? It's redundant, but for people that vaguely know her, that might be enough to clarify it to 'em. Adam Cuerden talk 19:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
