[edit] Proposed move
I believe the article Paul O'Neill should be for the disambiguation page, because two Paul O'Neill's, the former treasury secretary and the baseball player of the same name are equally deserving of the main article. However, since their only can be one, the main article should be a disambiguation page linking to both of them as well as others with the same name. Milchama 01:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. Move Paul O'Neill to, maybe, Paul O'Neill (Cabinet member)? Not sure of the best title there. Then move this page to Paul O'Neill. Fan-1967 01:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- My suggestion is Paul O'Neill (politician). What do you think? Milchama 01:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Not quite right. Don't think he ever ran for anything, which is what politicians do. All his government jobs were appointive. "(public official)"? Fan-1967 01:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- How about Paul O'Neill (government)? Milchama 12:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- That seems reasonable. Fan-1967 14:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- If you choose to go that way, I think Paul O'Neill (government official) would be more accurate since he is not a goverment per say. But I think my suggestion below is better. Vegaswikian 20:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

- Support. However the name is an issue. I think Paul O'Neill (cabinet member) is the best since that is what he is best know as. In any case, I'd suggest that since there seems to be total support, the closer of the discussion should be allowed to select the target name from those listed above. It can always be moved by any user at a later date if the editors decide on a 'better' name. The problem with selecting a new name should not delay the move. Vegaswikian 20:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Page moved. Someone will probably want to work through these incoming links and point them all to the appropriate pages. I'll bet most of them need to point at Paul O'Neill (cabinet member) (the name I chose from the above discussion), but I'll bet there are a few in there for the other Paul O'Neills. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
