Ben DunneBen Dunne Sr. – There are two Irish businessmen named Ben Dunne with Wikipedia articles, and they are father and son. The father founded Dunnes Stores, and the son later took over running the business from his father.

The father's article is currently named "Ben Dunne", and the son's article is currently named "Ben Dunne (born 1949)". The son is arguably the more well-known now, some 40 years after his father's death, and having remained in the public eye since then. As a result, it is possible that people looking for the son would inadvertently end up on the father's article, given it is just called "Ben Dunne".

I propose that the father's article be renamed to "Ben Dunne Sr." and the son's name be renamed to "Ben Dunne Jr.", for consistency and clarity. I'm open to other approaches too, but I don't think the current approach is ideal. Gatepainter (talk) 11:00, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like there is unanimity that the current names need to change, and a rough consensus so far for a Ben Dunne disambiguation page with links to the following renamed articles:
