[edit] Disambiguation

I had a hard time figuring out what I should do about the disambiguation between this article and my new article, on Judge Richard C. Casey. I haven't read this article, but is it necessary that we name it, "Richard Casey" and "Baron Casey"? If we could change it to "Richard Casey (Baron)", then I could change mine to "Richard Casey (Judge)", and the disambiguation would be clearer. --Hyphen5 11:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• It is an established convention that life peers are described in this way
• You should call your article Richard C. Casey, and there should be a Richard Casey (disambiguation) page to direct the reader. Adam 11:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry that I forgot to sign. I'm willing to create a disambiguation page, but I've been skimming through the deletions page and I'm a little confused as to whether they customarily delete disambiguation pages with only two links. What do you think? --Hyphen5 11:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't see any problem with a two name disambig page. Richard Casey should also probably be made into a redirect to Richard Casey (disambiguation). -- Ian ≡ talk 15:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Okay, it's done. Thanks for your help! --Hyphen5 20:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

If a user is approximately equally likely to be looking for either of these guys when they type [[Richard Casey], then a dab page is good, so they know where they're going. But if one is more famous, or more likely to be searched under that particular term, then the regular link at the top would be preferable, so people looking for the one wouldn't have the extra click to get there.

[edit] Succession boxes

Since Casey served as a minister in both the British and Australian governments, is it possible to either separate the succession or make it clear which posts were in which government? Timrollpickering 15:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
