For some reason James E. West redirects to James West which is a dab page. If someone types in "James E. West" I doubt they want to be sent to a dab page for the more generic "James West". Amongst people with "James E. West" as their name on Wikipedia, I also believe this to be the more notable "James E. West". (The other "James E. West" article is about Boy Scouts guy, and is currently a copyvio at that).

[edit] Merge Shannon Sullivan to here
Hello. I have proposed that Shannon Sullivan be merged into here. Essentially the Sullivan article would be removed and redirected here. Her role is already mentioned in the West article. The long autobio that is currently on her page would be removed completely. Please provide your thoughts. Lbbzman 14:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page moves
I've moved it back. I'm not entirely sure if there was an attempt to setup a dab page (which is silly IMO, there's only two articles that dab to "James E. West", and having "James E. West" redirect to "James West" is equally silly; if someone types in "James E. West" they don't want to be sent to a less specific dab page), but "James E. West" was redirecting to the "James E. West (politician)" article anyways before I moved it back. If there's some argument over who's more notable, we can hash that out, but I really don't see the harm in dab'ing to "James E. West (scouting)" at the very top of the article for the time being. —Locke Cole • t • c 07:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move
- James E. West → James E. West (politician) — This no longer serves being the main name, when there are several people for the same name — Talk:James E. West — Chris 00:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

- Support. The two men seem equally notable, so a disambiguation page should be at James E. West. -Will Beback 01:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion
As there are two James E. Wests, and as both are of import to different groups of people, I have requested to the moderators to move this page to "James E. West (politician)". Not worried about who's more notable, more about both being notable enough to have their subject mentioned in the title of their article, as per Wikipedia policy. Chris 00:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
